Bug 174857 – Can't play DVDs anymore with xine-lib-1.1.5

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Scharrer 2007-04-16 21:52:54 UTC]

After updating to xine-lib-1.1.5, xine-ui (v0.99.5) doesn't play DVDs anymore, 
both from /dev/dvd nor from images.

After opening the DVD by pressing the 'DVD' bottom of xine-ui the app freezes and has to be killed by 'kill'.

Downgrading to xine-lib-1.1.4-r2 fixes the problem.

I have the same problem, and found the same solution.  My system is x86-32, not x86-64.

Turning on verbose settings, I found that it is trying to read /dev/sda1 to get the css key, not /dev/dvd (which is a symlink to /dev/hdd).

To get additional output:
export DVDCSS_VERBOSE=2

I suggest masking 1.1.5 until this is resolved.

Masking would be problematic because earlier versions have security issues.

Tested with kaffeine and gxine and both freeze after trying to get the keys. Also kaffeine seemed to be trying to open /dev/sda1 too. gxine could be doing and I might not have enough debug info on.

1.1.4-r2 should not have security issues.

1.1.5 does work for me but has indeed problems for others, 1.1.6 should be released in a few days; I don't think it's a package.mask case by myself, as the issue does not apply to _all_ setups; it's ~arch after all.

Anyway, there should be a patch ready now that is going to be pushed on the Hg repository.

The same here, on ~amd64.

[Comment 7 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2007-04-18 10:21:48 UTC]

fixed in 1.1.6 which was just committed to CVS.
