[Mplayer-advusers] vcd device selection broken

[Alexander Werth (gmx)]

Hy,
I wanted to play a vcd from the second cdrom drive but there is no way
to specify the second drive. I did:
mplayer -vcd 1 /dev/cdrom2

...
Using usleep() timing
Playing VCD track 1
CD-ROM Device '/dev/cdrom' not found!
Playing /dev/cdrom2
Not an URL!
CACHE_PRE_INIT: 0 [0] 0  pre:204800  eof:0  
Cache fill:  9.60% (98304 bytes)    header block 1 size: 0
Detected MPEG-PS file format!
VIDEO:  MPEG2  480x480  (aspect 2)  29.97 fps  3000.0 kbps (375.0
kbyte/s)
...
This of course didn't work. The file was horribly broken. Just reading
from /dev/cdrom2 with 2048 sectors isn't enough.
This is just the thing I get when I try mplayer /dev/cdrom2
just without the lines:
Playing VCD track 1
CD-ROM Device '/dev/cdrom' not found!
