   Hi all
   I've always the same problem : I can't manage to have vlc working. When I run
   $cvlc dvd:///dev/sr1
   the answer is
   VLC media player 2.1.5 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-49-gdab6cb5)
   [0x806d150] main interface error: no suitable interface module
   [0x804b0d0] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed
   [0x80b6a88] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
   [0x80b7110] main input error: open of `dvd:///dev/sr1' failed
   [0x80b7110] main input error: Your input can't be opened
   [0x80b7110] main input error: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/sr1'. Check the log for details.
   Maybe I've missed something. Have you had the same problem ?
   Have a nice day.

   Hi yves04,

   I haven't CD/DVD drive installed in my netbook, so please excuse my dumb question:

   Do you really have file named sr1 in the folder /dev after you insert your DVD?

   If no, you can check visual what device file is added into /dev folder. But I think better you can use next commands:

   1. Remove your DVD from drive. Open terminal and type next command following Enter key:
   ls /dev > dev1
   (now file named "dev1" contains all file names in the /dev folder).

   2. Insert your DVD into drive and wait few time until it rolls and stops. Type following command:
   ls /dev > dev2
   (now file "dev2" appeared).

   3. To check differences between two files type command:
   diff dev1 dev2
   You'll see lines with "+" and "-" at the beginning. Plus means that this line (read: device file) added after you inserted your DVD.

   Also, try using /dev/sr0 if only one optical drive present.

   Key Master

   Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/pinj4tb6ucchdmb/libvlc-2.1.5.tazpkg
   tazpkg install libvlc-2.1.5.tazpkg --forced
   This will autoinstall libdvdread if connected to the internet.
   If not download to flash drive and manual install.
   tazpkg install libdvdread-4.1.3.tazpkg

   Keyboard controls do not work with cvlc.

   Thanks a lot for your quick answers. Just after I started the system, the command
   $ls /dev/sr*
   returns
   /dev/sr0 /dev/sr1 /dev/sr2
   because I've three drives (two internal IDE and one external usb)
   I've done as you have said Aleksej but
   $diff dev1 dev2
   doesn't return anything
   So I've tried as mojo said
   #tazpkg install libvlc-2.1.5.tazpkg --forced
   the answer is
   /usr/bin/tazpkg: .: line 3090: can't open '/tmp/19570/receipt'
   But #tazpkg install libdvdread-4.1.3.tazpkg works as well as #tazpkg -gi libdvdread and #tazpkg -gi libvlc (it's the same releases).
   After #tazpkg -gi vlc the problem is the same : vlc doesn't start.
   Then I tried mplayer
   mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device /dev/sr1
   it works (but whithout menus)
   I don't know how to set up smplayer
   Have a nice day, thanks again Aleksej, fatmac, mojo
