I've just gotten a Sony DRX-830U external DVD writer that connects to the USB port on my computer. I can read and write CD's using cdrecord, but I can't play DVD movies using xine. With the internal ATAPI CDRW/DVD-ROM xine works fine, after I edit /etc/devfs.conf a la the handbook, so I'm guessing the problem has to do with the external drive being a native SCSI. I've included some info below; [pbowen@sg1 ~]$ uname -a FreeBSD sg1.sgc.org 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #0: Tue Oct 24 02:41:05 CDT 2006 pbowen@sg1.sgc.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 [from dmesg] umass0: Sony DRX-830U, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 2 cd1 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd1: <SONY DVD RW DRU-830A SS20> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device cd1: 40.000MB/s transfers cd1: cd present [326496 x 2048 byte records] Xine complains that it can't find an input plugin for MRL dvd:/ I've edited my /etc/devfs.conf so that /dev/cdrom, /dev/dvd, and /dev/rdvd all point to /dev/cd0. Maybe someone has been down this road before and can provide a helping hand, or at least point me in the right direction. TIA, Patrick
