I’m not promising this will sort the problem but you need to do this anyway! In the repo list you gave I have changed the setting for one of the repo’s. Do it and then do this:
ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing

[devloop]

I made the changes but I still have the same problem

Here’s the amarok output with --debug :
pastebin - collaborative debugging tool

I’m not sure it helps :sarcastic:

I never play audio CD’s really and when I do I use the defaulting KsCD player which works perfectly.
I’ll just trudge off and grab a CD and have fiddle and get back to you:)

[caf4926]

OK
Here it is, in amarok - works fine:)

Thank you devloop. I had the same problem and after the installation / upgrade of the packages kaffeine works now! :-))

Hi. I am new to OpenSuse. I have recently installed 11.2. I am having some sound woes.
Vlc plays CDs and DVDs but Kaffeine won’t. KsCD won’t play CDs.

When I try to use Kaffeine to play a CD I get:
Cannot find input plugin for MRL [cdda:/]
Opening kaffeine in the terminal gives:
user@linux-kxg1:~> kaffeine
user@linux-kxg1:~> CDROMREADTOCHDR: No medium found
CDROMREADTOCHDR: No medium found

When I try to use Kaffeine to play a DVD I get:
Cannot find input plugin for MRL [dvd:/]

I have installed all the software and libraries that os-forum posts have suggested.
Does anyone know what might be wrong? Help would be appreciated.
Do I have to add anything to /etc/fstab?
/dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd are pointing to /dev/sr0, but these apps are not seeing the device. Why might this be?

Hi
some times im also facing the same problem but after few hours its starts working automatically…

I recently encountered this problem after a fresh installation of Opensuse 11.2 on my laptop.

After a bit of digging it turns out that I was missing a link for /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd - instead I have /dev/cdrom1 and /dev/dvdrw1.

If KsCD is refusing to play cd’s, you can check if you have the same issue by launching it from a terminal. If you get a message about not being able to find /dev/cdrom then the odds are you are missing the link as well.

To confirm + resolve the problem, open a terminal and cd to the /dev directory. if you run dir cd* you should see your links for cdrom devices.

If you do not have a link for /dev/cdrom, you will need to create one by entering ln -s sr0 /dev/cdrom <be sure to replace sr0 with whatever your existing cdrom link is pointing to>

I moved to openSUSE 11.3 and now it works
