Now I can play DVDs

by on Jun.29, 2005, under Linux

Since Oak has never had a DVD drive, and likely never will, I haven’t been able to play DVDs using MythTV. Unlike TV cards, MythTV has no means of sharing DVD drives between machines. Using GNBD (thanks to its inclusion in FC4) has given me the ability. GNBD works perfectly as advertised, however since the means of reading CSS keys from DVDs is apparently odd (ie, it generates errors), that part would not complete. For some reason, running mplayer on the machine with the DVD drive caches the data (apparently) allowing the remote mplayer to then play without difficulty. I demonstrated the process last night, and I scripted it tonight… ready to watch DVDs now! I had been going through Nemesis-decompression-scene withdrawal.
