[mythtv-users] Myth won't play DVDs, video is shaky

[Andrew]

You mean MythArchive Settings, where it says Location of DVD?

 

It was set to /dev/dvd

 

I changed it to /dev/sdb

 

The problem still occurs…

 

Here are my Player Settings (in Video Settings):

 

Default Video Player: mplayer –fs zoom quiet –vo xv %s

DVD Player Command: Internal

VCD Player Command: mplayer vcd:// -cdrom-device %d –fs –zoom –vo xv

I had this happen when I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04. In 8.04 and 8.10 they changed how the optical drives were named. I can't remember sitting here at work but it's something like /dev/sdb or something. Just go into setup and change the device name for the DVD player and that may fix it.
