linuxdude32 Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Are you trying to play a music CD or access a data CD? What happens if you try to play it with a different program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgy Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 Hi linuxdude32I was trying to play a music cd with CD player. No joy!Am i correct in thinking i have to download a plugin for Xine so i can play Dvd's?Thanks hodgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Hodgy,To play music from your CD:Menu --> Multimedia --> Sound --> KsCD and youre set !Xine should have the plugin to play DVD´s already in it, or install the ones on your CD, be carefull downloading because they have to fit the version xine you have.Just insert a DVD, go in the menu to XINE and push the dvd button for the DVD to load, then push the Play button.

hodgy Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 Hi BrunoI am using the Gnome Gui and when i launch cd player and insert a music cd it just ignore's it. The only button that does anything is he prefs. one. and the info.screen of cd player shows "drive open" Double clicking the CD-rom icon on the desktop brings up an error message"sorry couldn't display all contents of cdrom" Hodgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 when i launch cd player and insert a music cd Normaly I first insert the CD and then start the player . . but I think you have an other problem. Did you try the other media players too ?Hodgy if you browse your directories and click on the /mnt dierctory ( CD in the player ) what does it show ?Also if you login in KDE do you have the same problems ?

hodgy Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 BrunoWhen i put a music cd in the drive and double click the CDrom iconi just get the error message "sorry couldn't show all contents of cdrom"Will log out and try KdeHodgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgy Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 Well Kde was a complete washout. Same problem with the cd player (sorry can't remember it's correct title) Then the sound module crashed!One consolation is XMMS is working in gnome, I can listen to Internet radio Hodgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Witn a music CD you should not doubleclick the CD icon, only with data CDs. Music CDs play with the multimedia stuff.I´ll wait for the KDE expirience . . Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 How do i check that my cdroms- I have two- CD/RW as master. DVD as slave.are mounted correctly? They are auto-mounted, should be OK . . . master is: /mnt/cdrom slave: /mnt/vdrom2The master drive recognizes the mandrake install disk. It didn't auto load though.I had to d-click the desktop icon. There is no autorun in Linux . . . . . but you have to boot from the installdisks to make them run . . . you can however check their contents by clicking on them.

hodgy Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 BrunoOn the cdrom properties/permissions it says i am not the owner, I reminded it whose credit card was used to purchase it, but i think it just ignored me!! How do i enable these permissions? If i need too.Thanks hodgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 HodgyNever mind who´s the owner . . . .if there is a cd in the drive and you click on the icon you can see the contents of that CD can´t you, you can click on a textfile and read whats in it ? You can copy and paste a file from it in your /home dir. What more would you want ? Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 You have some great ideas there Bruno!And as you say, data cds (including music files such as .mp3) can be mounted and viewed in a normal file manager.But music CDs (.cda) that also play in plain old CD players in your car and entertainment CD players, are not viewable outside of multimedia players and rippers. We do not mount them nor are they mountable or viewable outside these multimedia programs.To test that ... you can do a cold boot and get into the GUI. Then put in the CDA music CD and wait -- it can take about 15-30 seconds depending on your system. It may just open the player (it does in RedHat 7.3), but I can't remember if the version of Mandrake I was using did or not. (Bruno would know)If the player doesn't come up on its own, wait till the light goes off on the CD drive after loading the CD, which means the computer should know by then what's in the drive, and then open the CD Player in Gnome and see what you get.Another test, would be to go to a terminal window and type cdp (commandline CD Player) after you have the CD loaded. It should open the pseudo graphics player and automatically start playing (as long as you have cdp installed).Sometimes with what appears to be a conflict like this, it is sometimes best to start with a fresh boot to try these types of things out.

hodgy Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 BrunoThat is true. Is there any way i can check the path from my cdrom to the cdplayer?It looks like something has put a gate up.In the thread from johnnywylde you mentioned about doing a checksumon the iso's, which i did not do Is this a possible problem? I believe its too late to check when the disks havebeen burnt?So perhaps a new iso download?Hodgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Thank you Fran, you can phrase is so clear . . . . I just hope we do understand what his actual problem is . . . . not 100% sure.If it is no sound you are getting it might also be the mixers that are set to MUTE as default after a new install: Aumix and Kmix.
