Thread: Xine plays dvd's but thinks it can't (8.04)

-

in hardy heron, after installing xine , usual stuff, , setting xine default dvd player in /etc/gnome/defaults.list in usual way, , linking /dev/dvd /dev/dvd2, when pop in commercial dvd autoplay, or select xine context menu play it, starts play fine, produces "source can't read" messagebox, goes away after being ok-clicked 10 (exactly!!) times.

launching xine directly application menu not produce problem.

so, know how prevent annoying messagebox appearing?

while don't use hardy anymore did spend bit of time on such things

guess ok use defaults.list set xine default player, though isn't preferred method. (editing line more once can lead issues..

no fan of symlinking /dev links - better change in cd.rules or change in player (xine allows in it's preferences- "masters of known universe" experience level


anyway issue far autoplay you're using default lauch command not suitable autoplay. needs xine dvd:// instead of xine %u

xine dvd:// launch command isn't default need make 'new' xine .desktop autoplay - xine-dvd.desktop , new name - xine1

method here if wish read, don't think setting xine.desktop in defaults.list willl issue, though i'd leave file alone @ point.
new default choice xine1 (make sure change name when editing xine-dvd.desktop
