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*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Apr 10 00:48 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 10 00:48 /dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/scd0


Thanks,
Christopher.

Its somehow not following the guidelines given to it after track location.

Ie.
mplayer vcd://1 /dev/scd0 !

well.. then try
mplayer /dev/scd0 vcd://1

also see
man mplayer

for more help, though I have played cds using above command.

Ricky:
Hmm. try mplayer graphical interface, there you have option to specify device manualy. See if that works.
mplayer GUI = gmplayer.

christopher_1:
I tried using gmplayer, where is the option to specify device manually?

I tried the play VCD option but got a similar error. I also tried using xine but i could not succeed playing from cd writer. When i put the cd in the cdrom it plays fine using xine.
