CDs : all problems (or success with playing CDs)

[Pelo]

CD SR0 cannot be mounted
CDs (reading)
SR0 cannot be mounted CD however is seen by Pburn. Mistery to clear.
"Volume sr0 cannot be mounted because it is an audio CD.
It doesn't have a filesystem." X-slacko
CD and DVDs are never mounted in reality.
My problem is playing DVDs and CDs with Parole on a XFCE puppy .
smdavis needs testers. Here we are
CD and DVD Playlist Support
"CD and DVD tracks have now been added to the playlist. This makes it easier than ever to quickly jump to your favorite track or scene. DVD navigation has also been added to the playlist, so you can move quickly via DVD"

I successfully play an audio cd on parole media player by using this command. (whole cd track)

Code: Select all

parole --device=/dev/sr0 cdda://

for DVD playback

Code: Select all

parole --device=/dev/sr0 dvd://

Apply this setting on thunar-volman and will automatically play CD/DVD when inserted

Code: Select all

parole --device=% cdda:// #CD playback
parole --device=% dvd:// #CD playback

If you type cdda:// on open location it will play only a single track of audio CD not a whole disc. dvd:// Is not been tested yet

I've had only one problem with any CD anything, and that's that half the crap comes off the boat from China c/o eBay -- i.e. what I can actually afford -- doesn't want to play nice with Puppy.

Linux support for Chinese-built optical drive enclosures seems to be somewhat potluck...

I was playing CDs in the past, buying Cds. Now i only have CDs which are offered to me, by Santa Claus or family.
However CD functions had to be serviceable in all puppies, whatever the application used.
Parole : ok mistfire, at home, nice
Starhawk : CD is a nightmare, generally. as soon as you buy it . Intermarché in France sell packs of 10 CDS that i trash (made in india)
Ii wil precise trademark later. Memorex are bad too ! sorry for advertising, but our Light and Fast Puppy Linux are not always guilty when playing goes wrong.
That is the reason why i create this topic. To collect in one POS all troubles.

This was taken from askubuntu. It is possibly a read error(bad disk, bad device).


Try the following terminal commands with a disk in the drive:

sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrom

or more simply

sudo mount /dev/sr0 /cdrom

If you get an error message to the effect of "no media in drive" the most likely reason is a faulty drive. Unfortunately dvd/cd drives are a lot more fragile than most people realise - a piece of fluff or a scratch on the lens can render them useless. Even worse, laptop drives that have the lens on the carriage that is ejected from the device leave them very susceptible to physical damage.

You mean audio cds? It's supported by all puppies, every media/audio player con play cds.

You want to mount Audio CDs? Why?

mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrom
mount: mount point /cdrom does not exist
mount /dev/sr0 /cdrom
mount: mount point /cdrom does not exist

However CD 'Tour de France' is played. I will never understand how all that works !

mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrom
mount: mount point /cdrom does not exist
mount /dev/sr0 /cdrom
mount: mount point /cdrom does not exist

I guess you have to do this first:

mkdir /cdrom

Though I guess using /mnt/cdrom would make more sense.

Strange things, Parole for instance (my application on test bench)
With X-Slacko slim reads all devices and files excepted DVD
With Slackoo 5.3.3 XFCE reads CD and DVDs but not files (list songs but id3 tagger missing)
Same DVD same CD
It's not so important, but my logical sense is overbooked, destroyed (dépassé in french)

CD does not eject ? X-Slim Slacko waiting for a new version of x-Slacko.
So i am.
