CD Burning and Xine is the same day!!!

[mychl]

OK, so after installing xine (xine-lib, then xine-ui) all I had to do to get DVD working was to make a link in /dev

ln -s /dev/hdb dvd

Then DVD worked for me.

Then I went to try X CD Roast, and noticed that only my CDRW drive was available.

I happened to notice that in my lilo.conf file there was an append "hdc=ide-scsi". Knowing that hdc was my CDRW drive, I thought, well maybe i'll add that for my dved drive as well. So I changed the line in lilo.conf to this
append "hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi"

Then I reran lilo, and rebooted.

Hey, my cd copying is working... cool.

Then I went to watch a DVD on my PC... just because I could, and I got this error oabout no plugin available for xine-whatever-0.9.7.

Then I remembered the link I made to DVD. So I cd'd into /dev and did
rm dvd
Then I did ln -s /dev/scd0 dvd
I rebooted and now EVERYTHING worked.

I was so excited, to get both of them working in one sitting... I"m thinking to myself, I might be able to pass a linux cert soon. Then look out world, here comes me.

M,

You make it look so easy!
Please hop on over to the tech. support forum and read my post from Jan. 19 about all my cd-rw troubles.

I've tried everything I can think of, and I'm not getting any closer to getting my cd-rw functional.

Please help if you have a few minutes to spare. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Or for Xine, edit the config file to point to the DVD device...worked for me
