I saw this email and decided to compile libdvdcss, libdvdread and mplayer on
my current, today's build, and tested mplayer on a couple of mpg's and avi's
that I had laying around and it worked fine so I decided to try a dvd with
the following results due to the devfs, I suppose.


/root/.mplayer # mplayer -dvd 1 /dev/acd0c


MPlayer 0.50pre-1(C) 2000-2001 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!)

Reading /root/.mplayer/codecs.conf: 18 audio & 39 video codecs
Font /root/.mplayer/font/font.desc loaded successfully! (495 chars)
Playing /dev/acd0c
libdvdread: Can't open path /dev/acd0c.
Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/acd0c

Exiting... (End of file)

This does show libdvdread trying to open /dev/acd0c.  The default is /dev/dvd
and that isn't created automatically.  What device are you using?  Does this
work with devfs?

Thanks,

| mplayer actually uses libdvdread, not libcss.  The freebsd port of
| libdvdread is 0.8.0, which uses libcss; however, the newer version of
| libdvdread is 0.9.x, which uses libdvdcss, which does work on FreeBSD
| (there's a port too).  I checked that libdvdread 0.9.2 does compile on
| FreeBSD, and then the mplayer port builds properly against this
| libdvdread.  However, I don't have any dvds to check that it can play
| them.  If I try with an empty drive, it gives an error message from
| libdvdcss (the FreeBSD port) about not being to get the encryption
| label.  So mplayer is linking to libdvdread, which in turn is linking
| to libdvdcss, properly.  You could try it out, I think it may work.
