9 Stupid question: is the device mounted when you try to run the movie in
10 Xine, or was it expected to/did it in the past automount somehow?
11
12 What happens if you mount the drive manually in a terminal and then
13 (assuming it mounts) run Xine?
14
15 I only ask since the device permissions seem correct, and I assume that
16 Xine is set to the correct device (/dev/dvd, in this case, which
17 presumes that your reader is correct at /dev/hdc).
18
19 And if the device is correct, and the settings of the program is
20 correct, the only time I see such errors as those (not in Xine, but in a
21 file manager or the like), is when the device is not mounted (despite
22 media being in the drive), so the files on the media are not readable by
23 the program.
