Hello, folks: I've upgrade my ubuntu recently from 7.x to 8.04 and have installed mplayer. When I tried to watch a movie by typing: mplayer dvd://1, this came out:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mplayer dvd://1 MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.2.3 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz (Family: 6, Model: 15, Stepping: 6) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection. mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control. Playing dvd://1. There are 15 titles on this DVD. There are 5 chapters in this DVD title. There are 1 angles in this DVD title. audio stream: 0 format: ac3 (stereo) language: en aid: 128. audio stream: 1 format: ac3 (stereo) language: fr aid: 129. audio stream: 2 format: ac3 (stereo) language: es aid: 130. audio stream: 3 format: ac3 (stereo) language: en aid: 131. number of audio channels on disk: 4. subtitle ( sid ): 0 language: en subtitle ( sid ): 1 language: fr subtitle ( sid ): 2 language: es subtitle ( sid ): 3 language: pt subtitle ( sid ): 4 language: en subtitle ( sid ): 5 language: es subtitle ( sid ): 6 language: pt subtitle ( sid ): 7 language: es subtitle ( sid ): 8 language: pt number of subtitles on disk: 9 MPEG-PS file format detected. and it's frozen. Nothing works. From my earlier version of ubuntu, it was OK. I checked this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -ltr /dev/dvd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-08-20 23:40 /dev/dvd -> /dev/scd0 scd0 should be my first dvd drive (I have 2nd one, which is scd1). Besides the above problem, I have two more questions if you don't mind: 1. can I create the soft link like this: ln -s /media/cdrom /dev/dvd what the difference b/w dvd/scd0 and /media/cdrom ? 2. When I played a movie before (under my ubuntu 7.x) , sometime the unwanted directorial comments come out, how can I remove it? Thanks a lot!
