[mythtv-users] libdvdcss error, can't play DVD's :-( any ideas?

[Chris Germano]

I've been trying to get my box to play DVD's, but instead receive some 
interesting errors. I have no idea what's causing this, but I think it might 
have to do with the way I have the drive mounted. Any DVD player I try like 
mplayer, ogle, etc will give me this same error, so any ideas? I have a 
feeling the libdvdcss can't lock on properly for some reason and is then 
giving that seek error in the logs below.

I mount the drive with (/etc/fstab):
none /mnt/cdrom supermount 
dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,unmask=0 0 0

[root at localhost chris]# ogle /mnt/cdrom
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.6 for DVD access

libdvdread: Device none inaccessible, CSS authentication not available.
