DVD Playback help!

(1/2) > >>

cckrobinson:
I'm unable to playback DVD's from LMCE.  When I select "play disk" I get the message "One moment - checking the drive ..", but nothing happens.  I've tried standard and unencrypted DVD's with the same result.  I don't see any activity on my DVD drive lights.  How do I tell LMCE to use my /dev/dvd device to playback DVDs?  I can't seem to find any Pluto\LMCE documentation that describes this.  Is there a custom xine config file that I need to tweak or something?

webpaul1:
in the admin site, advanced, configuration devices.  find the disk drive (normally core / the core hybrid / orbiter / disk drive) and there's the name of the drive (like /dev/cdrom)

cckrobinson:
That worked.  As you mentioned the /dev/cdrom was the default.

blakeseven:
I am having the same issue. I don't understand how you fixed it. I have core/ but no core/hybrid. Can you please help. Thanks Ben

cckrobinson:
Open the LMCE admin page.
Click on Advanced->configuration->devices in the green bar at the top of the right panel.
You should see a list of "My devices" in the lower left hand pane.
Select 'Core'.
This will display several items: DCERouter, App Server, Generic PC as MD
In my case, I selected "Generic PC as MD".  It depends what your box during the setup.
That will open a list of devices such as: OnScreen Orbiter, HAL, GeForce or TNT2
Select "OnScreen Orbiter"
Select the "Disk Drive" option
Scroll down to the bottom of the right page. Under the "Device data" section you should see the name of the drive (/dev/cdrom).  Change it to /dev/dvd (assuming that's the path to your DVD)

That's it.
