Hello,

I seem to be having a few issues with my new
Pegasos, so I've decided to ask about one of them
here. :)

When I try to playback a DVD with MPlayer, I
receive the following shell output:

--------------------------------------------------
MPlayer 0.91 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team

Exiting... (End of file)
-------------------------------------------------

Does this problem appear to be indicitive of an
unsupported/nonworking DVD drive? I've tried
several options and even IDE channels with no
avail, also MPlayer seems to trash any custom
config file in PROGDIR:conf/config.

Any info is much appreciated,

I'm sorry but it looks like your DVD player doesnt work with Mplayer's decss decryption. I highly recommend getting an LG 8161b DVD Rom drive. It works excellent with morphos and mplayer. There is a a cool Samsung combo CDRW/DVD drive that works to afaik but I dont know the model number.

Bummer...I'll try another drive. Cheers for the
info.
