Since nobody seemed to report a problem playing DVDs, I decided to check my settings.<br><br>Smplayer and Gmplayer were both set to play DVDs from /dev/dvd<br><br>I checked and there was no /dev/dvd. So, I did:<br><br>ls -l /dev/dvd*<br>
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 2010-03-24 12:52 /dev/dvd1 -&gt; sr0<br>lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 2010-03-24 12:52 /dev/dvdrw1 -&gt; sr0<br><br>I set both players to dvd1 and everything is back to normal.<br><br>I never changed these settings. Not a chance, mainly in *two* media players... that worked perfectly.<br>
<br>If I&#39;m not hacked, how is this possible? I used a USB flash drive recently and sometimes removed it without unmounting. Can this have caused the problem? The drive is mounted on /dev/sdb1.<br><br>Personally, I&#39;m really without a clue.<br>
