Xine crash

I am using SUSE10 with the Gnome desktop. When I start Xine (from a
command line) the Xine window comes up but no console. The error
displayed on the window title bar reads: Xine:There's no mrl.

It worked ok a few days ago and works ok when I log in as root. The only
thing I have changed since last it worked when I logged in as a user is
that I have installed an internal modem.

How do I get the console back? Do I have to reinstall it?

Thanks

Andrew

Have a look in Yast>Security and Users>User Management> and make sure
that your <user> is a member of the cdrom group.

Thankyou for your reply
I followed your suggestion and all was as should be, so I didn't have to
make any changes.

An additional problem is that when logged into my "user" account I
cannot access the cd/dvd drive at all. However if I use any feature that
requires me to put in the root password (like YAST) or if I open a
terminal window and log in as SU the drive is activated and stays this
way for the rest of the session. Even if I've logged out of super user mode.
