[Mplayer-users] fibmap weirdness

[Geoff Horne]

This one is really bugging me - can anyone tell me what I've forgotten ??

mplayer compiles and runs just fine (even with gcc 2.96!) UNLESS i try to
read a dvd. i running it as aroot and fibmap_mplayes is also suid root but
it still errors out, Here's what happens:

[root at drgeoff /root]# uname -a
Linux drgeoff 2.4.3-20mdk #1 Sun Apr 15 23:03:10 CEST 2001 i686 unknown

[root at drgeoff /root]# gcc -v

[root at drgeoff /root]# id

[root at drgeoff /root]# ls -la `which fibmap_mplayer`

[root at drgeoff /root]# mplayer -dvdauth /dev/dvd \

Reading /root/.mplayer/codecs.conf: 15 audio & 28 video codecs
Font /root/.mplayer/font/font.desc loaded successfully! (138 chars)
DVD is encrypted, issuing authentication ...
fibmap_mplayer: fibmap ioctl: Invalid argument (Hint: fibmap_mplayer is not
suid root?)

fibmap_mplayer could not run, trying with ioctl() ...
ioctl FIBMAP: Invalid argument
Hint: run mplayer as root (or better to install fibmap_mplayer as suid
root)!
DVD: CSSDVDAuthTitle() failed.

===================
SOO - IS  there a problem with the ioctls in me kernel ?? (i /thought/ the
DVD patches were in the 2.4 release) or is something else bad ?
