So what is the solution for DVD Playback with 2.6?

Ogle, Xine and mplayer all use libdvdread / libdvdcss. The following errors used to vanish when using ide-scsi:



libdvdread: Can't seek to block 256

libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.



the long description is <A HREF="http://criggie.dyndns.org/linux-dvd/" TITLE="dyndns.org">here</a dyndns.org>:

[...]

Kernel 2.6.x has removed devfs, so links like<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/dev/dvd are not made automatically, and they're not remembered across reboots. You may need to make them another way.



What does this error mean?



libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.5 for DVD access

libdvdread: Can't seek to block 256

libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO

It means that you aren't using ide-scsi for the
DVD drive. Read and follow this page.

btw. I do have r/w access to<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/dev/dvd and the symlink it points to (which i can mount to read the content of the dvd)



anyway: What is the standart way of watching dvds with kernel 2.6(-test9)
