[MPlayer-users] Problem with playing DVDs as non-admin user...

[Christopher Koeber]

Hello,

When attempting to play DVD's in mplayer as a regular user in Linux I am
confronted with the following message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Playing dvd://mnt/cdrom.
The hostname option must be an integer: mnt
Struct dvd, field hostname parsing error: mnt
Option stream url: This URL doesn't have a hostname part.
Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd (Permission denied)
No stream found to handle url dvd://mnt/cdrom


Exiting... (End of file)

However, when playing under the root user account everything works fine. Any
ideas?
