So, I did that, all successfully for xine in RHL9. I put in a dvd and
xine automatically came up. I clicked on its DVD button and got two
error boxes:
- xine engine error -
Input plugin failed to open mrl 'dvd:/'
and
The source can't be read.
Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't
contain data (e.g: not disc in dirve). (/dev/dvd)
/dev/dvd is a link to /dev/scd1 which is my dvd drive.
Does anyone know what I need to do to get this to work?
Thanks.
