Guy, thanks for the pointers, but the configuration of the plugin is not really the problem. it is properly configured, but it still does not access the CD. i wondered if it is a linkage problem, so i tried looking for libcdaudio.so*, and found it in the following places: ./usr/lib/libcdaudio.so.1.0.0 [actual library] ./usr/lib/libcdaudio.so.1 [ -> libcdaudio.so.1.0.0] ./usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdaudio.so [no link here] when i tried making an ln -s from the ./usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdaudio.so to ./usr/lib/libcdaudio.so.1 or even directly to libcdaudio.so.1.0.0, the plugin no longer appeared in the list when i opened the XMMS player. but all the links in the /usr/lib directory point to libcdaudio.so.1.0.0 as being the actual library. should ./usr/lib/xmms/Input/libcdaudio.so point to one of these other libraries, or am i not looking at this problem right? best, Derek Guy Clotilde wrote: >On Sun, 20 Apr 2003 15:18:59 +0200, derek holzer wrote / a écrit: > > > >>how can i get the libcdaudio plugin for XMMS to load an audio CD? when i >>go to directory /cdrom in the player's file browser, i see subdirectory >>cdrom0, but i can't get it to open the audio CD to play. a program like >>workman recognizes the CD fine. >> >> > >Have you configure the plugin in xmms?
