Description Forgotten User t-K-SYtr-p 2008-12-21 18:09:54 UTC 
Clean install of opensuse 11.1. Installed off the single dvd drive with no problems. Installed VLC off the repository.

Trying to get VLC to open non encrypted DVD gives:-

Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disk "/dev/sr0".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/sr0'. Check the log for details.

Is the playing of non encrypted dvds not supported?

Steve.

Hi Steve,
I had the same problem. The reason wre the permissions of /dev/sr0
They were set to 660. You can set them to 666 or better: add yourself to the group disk.
I hope that will also solve your proble.
Best wishes, Ulrich

Crikey, that was quick, thanks Ulrich. Went for the group option, changing permissions on /dev/sr0 didn't survive a reboot.

Thanks, Steve.
