Bump. I have the same problem (the weird issue about opening /initrd.img as the DVD...). Did you manage to solve it?

I still get it today.. Unable to play any DVDs..

mplayer dvd:// works fine.. but CEC control of it doesn't work.
I've even tried a reinstall, still there.

I wonder if it is something to do with external USB dvd drive support.

I found that g_mediaManager.GetDiscPath() in xbmc/interfaces/Builtins.cpp fails to give a correct "disc path". The following CLog call only prints "DISCPATH:" (that is, argument is void).

Code:
else if (execute.Equals("playdvd"))
  {
#ifdef HAS_DVD_DRIVE
    bool restart = false;
    if (params.size() > 0 && params[0].CompareNoCase("restart") == 0)
      restart = true;
    CLog::Log(LOGDEBUG, "DISCPATH: %s", g_mediaManager.GetDiscPath().c_str());
    CAutorun::PlayDisc(g_mediaManager.GetDiscPath(), restart);

When this happens, then it tries to open /initrd instead of a correct media path. Also, I'm booting XBMC from USB (XBMC Live) and I found that it lists the USB root partition contents as a video source. Weird. Seems the two issues are related.

I recreated something usable using the remote buttons and sources. "PlayMedia(cdda://local/01.cdda)" works for playing Audio-CDs and adding a video source "iso9660://VIDEO_TS/" opens my DVD contents.

I also have this problem. But when i shutdown XBMC and insert a DVD and start up again the DVD is played without problems.

I enabled the debugging and got the following output on start:

With DVD inserted:

DEBUG: UDisks: DeviceAdded - DeviceUDI /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0: IsFileSystem true HasFileSystem udf IsSystemInternal false IsMounted true IsRemovable true IsPartition false IsOptical true

Without DVD:

DeviceAdded - DeviceUDI /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0: IsFileSystem false HasFileSystem IsSystemInternal false IsMounted false IsRemovable true IsPartition false IsOptical false

So it seems to me that XBMC does not recognize that the DVD-Drive is optical and does not use it to play DVD.

As an very ugly Workaround I modified xbmc/storage/MediaManager.cpp CMediaManager::getDiscPath to return 'iso9660://' constantly if driveType equals DVD and now it works.
Code:
CStdString CMediaManager::GetDiscPath()
{
#ifdef _WIN32
  return g_mediaManager.TranslateDevicePath("");
#else

  CSingleLock lock(m_CritSecStorageProvider);
  VECSOURCES drives;
  m_platformStorage->GetRemovableDrives(drives);
[color=red]char* dvdpath = "iso9660://";[/color]
  for(unsigned i = 0; i < drives.size(); ++i)
  {
    if(drives[i].m_iDriveType == CMediaSource::SOURCE_TYPE_DVD)
[color=red]return dvdpath;[/color]
[color=red]//[/color]      return drives[i].strPath;
  }

  // iso9660://, cdda://local/ or D:\ depending on disc type
  return MEDIA_DETECT::CDetectDVDMedia::GetDVDPath();
#endif
}
#endif
This works for me until the bug is fixed. If anyone knows which side-effects this workaround could have please report.

[edit]Please keep in mind that the code should only work for the first optical drive found[/edit]

I've just upgraded to the latest git version, and now it is all working for me Smile

I wonder which commit did the trick... Did you compile github -> xbmc -> xbmc -> master?

Yes, githut/xbmc/xbmc

Hi,

same problem here. Updating sources using "git pull" and recompiling didn't do the trick.

Anyway i have to say that this problem is not only connected to the software but to the system configuration as well. On my computer it did work until I did the following (in order to disable kde and boot xbmc directly)

  1. created a new user xbmc
  2. added user xbmc to all the groups olduser is in
  3. moved /home/olduser/.xbmc to /home/xbmc/.xbmc
  4. chowned all files in .xbmc to user xbmc
  5. removed /home/olduser/.kde/Autostart/xbmc.sh so that kde doesn't start xbmc after startup
  6. disabled kde by renaming /etc/init/kde.conf to /etc/init/kde.conf.disabled
  7. installed rungetty by "apt-get install rungetty"
  8. modified /etc/init/tty1.conf by changing "exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1" to "exec /sbin/rungetty --autologin xbmc tty1" so that xbmc gets logged in automtically
  9. created /home/xbmc/.bash_profile and included
    Code:
    if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ $(tty) == /dev/tty1 ]; then
    startx
    fi
  10. so that X is started by user xbmc
  11. created .xinintrc and included exec ./xbmc.sh so that the file just reads
    "exec ./xbmc.sh"
  12. included
    Code:
    #!/bin/bash

    # Start xbmc and restart if crashed
    until xbmc; do
        echo "Server 'myserver' crashed with exit code $?.  Restarting.." >&2
        sleep 1
    done

    exit 0
    so that xbmc gets started automatically
  13. in order to do some debugging: deactivated splash screen by modifying /etc/default/grub chaning GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
  14. issued "sudo update-grub" to make changes in /etc/default/grub work
  15. made all the above steps work (gave xbmc.sh a chmod +x)
  16. changed back GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to "quiet splash" with a "sudo update-grub" to get a splash screen again.

After that playing CD/DVD didn't work anymore.

Not sure was update-grub exactely does, but maybe stomach tells me that it is the most suspicious of all these changes....

Cheers, Phil

HI, can anyone get me any further advice on this?

I just got an up to date git source, but the problem is still there.
I've also tried to apply the patch described by hannemann, but it doesn't work the excpected way. With the patch the CD / DVD menu-item is there. When i insert a dvd i can push the "play"-button in order to watch the DVD, but instead of opening the DVD as a film, just the audio track is played in the audio player.

Any suggestions?

Phil

I got similar problems weeks ago... I've been trying new builds ever since but none of them is working (including beta1). So I keep running an old nightly.

I uploaded debug logs:
Beta1 (no dvd): http://pastebin.com/ZykpZLnU
Nighlty 20111103 (with dvd): http://pastebin.com/ZhEpyEm6

The differences I found are (beta1):
16:02:39 T:3868 DEBUG: CPlayerCoreFactory::GetPlayers(E:\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO)
16:02:39 T:3868 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: Opening: E:\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO
16:02:39 T:3440 INFO: msg: opening target `E:\VIDEO_TS'
16:02:39 T:3440 INFO: msg: cannot open E:\VIDEO_TS (No error)

And for the nightly I get the following lines:
16:27:07 T:3096 DEBUG: CPlayerCoreFactory::GetPlayers(dvd://1)
16:27:07 T:3096 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: Opening: dvd://1
16:27:07 T:912 INFO: msg: opening target `E:'
... no errors

It looks like its selecting the wrong path to open? Is this the same issue?
