Hi, I have this problem with Antix 12, that I have not resolved, after this is perfect, the writer and the reader will not work correctly. Are recognized by the system, but qundo insert a dvd this does not play, while audio CDs are played. In any case, the disc does not come out then, it remains locked in until the next reboot. How can I do? Thank you. __{{emoticon}}__

On Mine. I have to assign the drive as /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/dvd in gnome-mplayer for it to play DVDs.

Next time it locks up, in terminal try

Thanks Rokyntji __{{emoticon}}__

With the command I open the CD player:
With the command you open the dvd-rw
It works! When they are locked inside.
First in gnome Mplayer I inserted an audio cd on sr0, has played, but I could not stop (the stop button of gnome did not stop, he continued to play) __{{emoticon}}__

How do I assign gnome-mplayer /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/dvd?
I have 2 units sr0 (cd-rom) sr1 (dvd-rom).

After I inserted an audio cd, if I click on open space fm sr0, from this error:

Run Mount dev/sr/0
Status Finished with error ( exit status 32 )

missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

If I remove the disc from this error:
(It's harder to get out of the disc, the red LED on the PC remains on.)

Run Mount dev/sr/0
Status Finished with error ( exit status 32 )

mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0

If I insert a DVD into the drive (sr1) and then open Gnome Mplayer from this error:

File / Disc / open DVD with menu

Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd (No such file or directory)

Bye

How do I assign gnome-mplayer /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/dvd?
If I insert a DVD into the drive (sr1) and then open Gnome Mplayer from this error:

File / Disc / open DVD with menu

Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd (No such file or directory)

It's in preferences. Video output on mine I set to either xv or x11. Whichever works out (kinda trial and error for me).

As far as 2 drives are concerned . I don't have any so maybe another member can furnish a clue.

you can try specifing the path to the dvd device in ~/.mplayer/gui.conf

My dvd drive hates mplayer, or mplayer hates my drive. I installed VLC and I'm happy.

Sorry for the delay. How do I specify the path to the DVD? I also installed VLC, and in the preferences I set X11, how about Mplayer, but the dvd still do not see them. Even the DVDs containing video format .avi .mkv etc. .. while data from USB I view them properly.

VLC:
When I press: Open the disc, I get this error:
Playback failed:
DVDRead can not open the disc"/dev/dvd".
The entry could not be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd :///dev/dvd'. Check the log for details.

Same thing with mplayer:
when I press disk - open dvd with menu:
Could not open DVD device: /dev/dvd (No such file or directory)

Thanks. __{{emoticon}}__

Try this, open spacefm then select"Devices" then"Show"
Do you see the dvd, or cd with media ?
This step can answer a lot of questions.
If you have media stuck in the device right click then click"remove/eject"

Yes, on spacefm are displayed as: sr0 (cd) sr1 (dvd).
I selected"devices" then"shows".

Now everything seems to work correctly, the file on cd and dvd open, and display both with VLC and with Mplayer.

Now I try Simplyburn to see if it works correctly.
Thanks

I'm glad that spacefm did the trick for you.
