[taraj]

How can I play that ?
I have two cd drives : one is cd rom and another is cdwriter. I can play mplayer vcd://1 , then it plays from cdrom but what if I want to play from cd wrier ie second cddrive ?

umm..
if your other cdrom device detected via system then you can play it easily.
Try finding its location.. can be by

Code: [Select]

ls -l /dev/cdrom*
It will then show you all cddrives in your computer and their location. In my case my cd writer is /dev/scd0 so I will play it like

Code: [Select]

mplayer vcd://1 /dev/scd0
Here "1"  is for track to be played.

Hi,

I am not able to play cd from my writer using mplayer, i followed the tip given by you, but i am getting this error:

[root@localhost root]# mplayer vcd://1 /dev/scd0

I am  able to play the same cd from my cdrom without any problems. When i give ls -l /dev/cdrom* i get the following output.

[root@localhost root]# ls -l /dev/cdrom*

Thanks,
