Hi All
I just in stalled Mplayer and have a error coming up (no stream found to handle url dvd://1) I dont no what this means and would appreciate any help on the subject thanks
Mplayer always does that
Right click on Mplayer after you open it
Select preferences->Misc. tab
In that change your DVD device and if required cdrom device and click ok
For example, in my pc, my dvd drive is /dev/sr0
How do you find this out?
When you insert a dvd in the drive open My Computer on your desktop, right click on the DVD and select properties, click the meta info tab and read what’s under “device node”.
Problem solved

My experience with mplayer is that it doesn’t have a ‘default’ to tell it
which drive to use for dvd’s (or cd’s, or…)
try this:
mplayer -dvd-device /dev/sr0 dvd://1
tell it which device to use, and it should play happily. I have two dvd
burners, so mine are /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1. If you’ve the typical single
drive, try /dev/sr0.
