DVD will mount, but won’t play in VLC.

[BananaBro69]

i’ve been having problems with the way TinyCore handles discs, and it bugs me alot.from what i’ve been experiencing so that you wanna know, i can mount DVDs and DVD Videos. But i can’t play DVDs. I don’t know if i’m just missing a codec that’s in the Repo, but i just can’t play DVDs. And it’s even worse for CDs, as i can’t even mount them without getting an I/O error. And i could play CDs…but that was when i didn’t have sound drivers. don’t even know if it was a coincidence or not.

Hi BananaBro69
Which version of Tinycore are you running?
If you don't know, run:

Code: [Select]

versionin a terminal.
Did you read the  vlc.tcz.info  file?

Yes.

You could also try starting vlc from a terminal and see if any
warnings or errors pop up.

I did, and it said
“DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00f50000. Regions: 2 4” before it gave up playing the DVD.
So maybe i have to find a way to get libdvdnav to read Region 2 and 4 discs, If thats possible.

Hi BananaBro69
See if installing  libdvdcss.tcz  helps.

Hi BananaBro69
Ignore my last post. I see  libdvdcss.tcz  is only in the
64 bit repositories, sorry.

So i can’t play DVDs without having the 64-bit version?

If you can wait a week or so, I can take a look.

Otherwise the build notes should be on the server.

Ok. But while i wait, can someone help me with the CD I/O mounting error with audio CDs? 
(Data CDs are normal.)
