> I did install regionset and set the region to '1'. I'd recommend against that. The region thing is a scam the movie industry strongarmed hardware manufacturers into adding to prevent players from playing all DVDs. You'll have to change the region to match whatever DVD you want to watch, and after a set number of changes, the DVD player may stop accepting changes, and will only be able to read DVDs marked with whatever region number it was given last (for some software anyway). > libdvdread: Can't seek to block 2508160 > libdvdread: DVDDiscId read returned 0 bytes, wanted 32768 > :: DVDDiscID (/dev/hdd) failed. This looks like either a bug in libdvdread, or some other exploit from the movie industry, which crafts their DVDs to (AFAIK) not quite obey the filesystem specification, confusing software readers, but not hardware ones. Maybe you could make sure, as a first step, that you have the latest version of libdvdread ? I think (but am not certain) that xine has a custom version of some DVD reading library, maybe this very one. You might want to see if this has patches that are not in the version GStreamer uses. |
