[mythtv-users] Internal DVD player quits frontend or drops back to DVD menu.

[Michael Jones]

I just installed a new DVD reader/writer in my MythTV system and upgraded to
version .20.   The version upgrade was relatively painless.  I had only one
issue that was easily solved.

When I try to play a DVD in the system the DVD spins up and then (depending
on which DVD I use) either quits the frontend completely, or just drops back
to the MythDVD menu.

I can get ³SOME² dvd¹s to play using mplayer (I haven¹t tried xine yet) but
not with the internal player.

I¹m also getting the following the /var/log/messages file whenever a disc is
in the drive:

Oct  1 01:05:46 myth kernel: ATAPI device hdc:
Oct  1 01:05:46 myth kernel:   Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05)
Oct  1 01:05:46 myth kernel:   Cannot read medium - incompatible format --
(asc=0x30, ascq=0x02)
Oct  1 01:05:46 myth kernel:   The failed "Read Subchannel" packet command
was: 
Oct  1 01:05:46 myth kernel:   "42 02 40 01 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 "
Oct  1 01:05:47 myth kernel: hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 {
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Oct  1 01:05:47 myth kernel: hdc: packet command error: error=0x54 {
AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
Oct  1 01:05:47 myth kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown

It just so happens that hdc is loading as the new DVD drive.

I can¹t seem to find anything else meaningful in the logs ­ but I can watch
them more closely next time I try a DVD.

Thanks,
