Sony VAIO VGP-XL1B: Unable to play loaded DVD's
« on: November 25, 2009, 03:38:21 am »
Hello All,

I'm currently running 8.10B, and am testing the new DVD jukebox I just purchased. I' running into a problem when I try to play a disk from the changer, I keep getting the following error on the orbiter screen:
Quote
I cannot play this media. Perhaps there is not a valid device in this entertainment area capable of playing it. Drive is not available

Has anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks,

Ernesto

Tried regenerating a couple of times, but with no success. When I try to play a DVD, I can hear the changer loading and spinning the DVD as if it about display something. I don't think its the changer, only because it's brand new out the box. Once my Thanksgiving turkey coma subsides I'm going to take my diskless MD and slap a hard drive in it, and run LMCE 7.10 as a test. If it works, I'll know it's something that is missing from the beta, and not the hardware.

Thanks Andrew,

Ernesto

I tried that as well, but it started to rip, and with a couple of seconds, it said that the rip was complete.  When I went to the "Video" section I did not find the ripped media.

Thanks Tim,

Update:

I pulled up the Kubuntu desktop and attempted to play the DVD using the "Dragon Player" software, and viola it worked. So now I know that it's not the changer itself.

Does anyone know where I should be looking for errors from LMCE related to a failure to run the DVD? I've been searching logs /var/log/ directory, but I can' t see anything related to my problem.

Thanks,

Ernesto

So I ran a tail -f  on the 70_Powerfile_C200.log and came up with the following. Not sure what the deal is, because as I said in the previous post I was able to run the DVD from the Desktop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried deleting the device from the tree, and have the system re-detect the jukebox?

Tried that twice, but no luck. Have you had any problems with 810 and the Jukeboxes at all?

I may have time over the next few days to do some testing with 0810 and the jukebox
I will see what I can do.

Tim,

Did you ever get a chance to test on your DVD Changer? I tried mine after the beta2 update, but still no luck.

Thanks,

I did a couple quick test and did not have success, I have  not had a chance to look into it deeper.


I suggest opening a trac ticket and include your logs.
I will try to confirm and dig deeper as time permits.
