> Did you try playing the DVD while NOT mounting it ?
Hi Sylvain --
I've tried that -- if I don't mount it, neither libdvdread nor mplayer finds
anything.
I do have the symlink /dev/dvd to /dev/hdc, and this works fine when I'm on the
remote machine. But I can't get it to find the device when I'm not. I agree that
if I could, I probably wouldn't have a problem.
If it's possible to define a DVD drive in such a way that programs running on a
remote computer can see it even when it's not mounted, that would be great. Does
anybody know if this is possible?
If it's not possible, I guess this means I have to rely on the "old method" of
descrambling, which I haven't been able to get make work.
Cheers,
Peter
