Hi folks,
I thought I would have a go at trying to get my PC to play DVDs this weekend so I done an apt-get install ogle-mmx ogle-gui then ran install-css.sh and linked /dev/dvd to /dev/hdc.
If I type "ogle" I get the ogle gui appear and I get the following console errors:
Note[ogle_ctrl]: ogle 0.8.2 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: Started /usr/lib/ogle/ogle_gui with pid 4483 warning: failed to load external entity "/home/ian/.oglerc" WARNING[ogle_gui]: Couldn't load config file WARNING[ogle_gui]: interpret_config(): Couldn't read '/home/ian/.oglerc' Debug[ogle_ctrl]: Started /usr/lib/ogle/ogle_nav with pid 4484 warning: failed to load external entity "/home/ian/.oglerc" WARNING[ogle_nav]: Couldn't load config file WARNING[ogle_nav]: interpret_config(): Couldn't read '/home/ian/.oglerc' Debug[ogle_ctrl]: Started /usr/lib/ogle/ogle_mpeg_ps with pid 4485 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: Started /usr/lib/ogle/ogle_vout with pid 4486
However if I then click on FILE and OPEN DSC the following appears:
libdvdcss error: failed opening device libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading. vm: faild to open/read the DVD Debug[ogle_ctrl]: child: 4484 exited with 1 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: pid: 4484 exited with status: 1 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: child: 4486 killed Debug[ogle_ctrl]: pid: 4486 terminated on signal: 2 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: child: 4485 killed Debug[ogle_ctrl]: pid: 4485 terminated on signal: 2 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: child: 4483 killed Debug[ogle_ctrl]: pid: 4483 terminated on signal: 2 Debug[ogle_ctrl]: removing shmid: 10616832 Note[ogle_ctrl]: exiting ian@rhino:~$
I am confused.... why is ogle unable to open /dev/dvd?

Try xine, mplayer as well =)
Really I don't link /dev/dvd to /dev/hdc to be honest. That is somewhat pointless where you can access /dev/dvd itself.

Most of all, I never mount dvd where I know mplayer, ogle etc will pick up the drive and play the film etc.
I don't know what kernel you are running to be honest. If you are running the latest and greatest 2.4 (using devfs) or 2.6 (using udev).
The answer to all of this problem is.. use a dvd player ;) (Just kiddin', just need more system information)

Woooo! One at player a time... I thought I would try Ogle first as I only have an old PC and seem to remember hearing Ogle is the most efficient for low spec machines.

Ah I see =) Good idea. However, I do know mplayer works a treat on my mini itx (800mhz VIA CPU). Though, I'm using Gentoo on that box =)

I recommend upgrading... I'm not sure how well 2.6 is like in Debian. Since I'm used to the delicious ways of Gentoo ;)

Have you checked the permissions? My Debian box says
adam@dylan:~$ ls -l /dev/hdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 2002-03-14 21:51 /dev/hdc
So unless you are in the group disk it won't work, (and you don't want to be in the group disk either it isn't a very safe permission to have) you could try changing the permissions on /dev/hdc with something like chmod 666 /dev/hdc.

Excellent! Thanks for that Adam.
