Description DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2008-06-02 01:31:36 UTC
I entered as default *device* "/dev/dvd" (same bug happens with /dev/hdd ), and when trying to read TOC, I am said:

Job 'Read TOC (lsdvd)' failed with error message:
Error reading table of contents. Please check your DVD device settings in the Preferences and don't forget to put a DVD in the drive.

and when trying to eject disk:

An internal exception was thrown!
The error message was:
Can't call method "project" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Video/DVDRip/GUI/Project/Title.pm line 436.

The only way to get it work is to enter the mount point (as a guy said me on the pointed forum).

- the interface asks a DEVICE name, not a mount point; it should deal with a device file ! and not "expect" a mount point ...
- I wonder how the software could open the tray of a mount point ...
- on the right side of the line asking for a device name, there is a selection menu listing all my optical drives; when I click on the desired device, the menu puts back the DEVICE FILE

There is definitly something broken in the project interface.

2008... can you check out dvdrip-0.98.11 ?
Comment 4 DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2010-09-28 10:22:00 UTC
arg ... you want me to unmask the unstable one :/

so ... -11 has the same issue as -10 anyway: the device list is empty. Nothing to choose.

I now have /dev/sr0 (new box, new hard, new layout ...). With this value entered by hand, i can list the TOC (second tab). So, somehow, the bug is fixed.

And a new one has came in: dvd::rip is not able anymore to list optical ressources.

I'm going to go ahead and mark this one as fixed ...

.. and ask you to open a new bug if this is still the case.

Thanks!

It wasn't fixed until I just fixed it now:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-video/dvdrip/dvdrip-0.98.11-r1.ebuild?r1=1.6&r2=1.7

As in, dvdrip was defaulting to /dev/dvd, and current udev no longer creates /dev/dvd
Instead, it will always link /dev/sr0 (if it exists) to /dev/cdrom, so we should fix every app to default to /dev/cdrom
