Virt-manager: passthrough read from dvd?
- Inicie sesión ou rexístrese para enviar comentarios
I have successfully set up a qemu vm with virt-manager. Now I would like to access a dvd through the computers internal dvd drive.
I can find some information on how to add a usb pen drive but not an internal dvd drive.
Any suggestions?
I have now suucced to attach my dvd and can open a dvd.
BUT, vlc will only open the very first menu on the dvd (choose language), and after that ... nothing.
Isn't that weird?
You can try to install regionset:
sudo apt install regionset
sudo regionset /dev/sr0
"Video DVDs contain most often a region code flag indicating the geographical region where the DVD was published (enabling the film industry to control the distribution). There are eight region codes possible, currently six are used:
1 – North America (USA and Canada)
2 – Europe, Middle East, South Africa and Japan
3 – Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea
4 – Latin America, Australia, New Zealand
5 – Former Soviet Union (Russia, Ukraine, etc.), rest of Africa, India
6 – China"

Installing libavcodec-extra may resolve your subtitle issues.
sudo apt install libavcodec-extra
"This library provides a generic encoding/decoding framework and contains multiple decoders and encoders for audio, video and subtitle streams, and several bitstream filters.
This package replaces the libavcodec package and contains the following additional codecs:
* ARIB STD-B24 Captions (Subtitle Decoder)
* OpenCORE Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) Narrow-Band (Encoder/Decoder)
* OpenCORE Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) Wide-Band (Decoder)
* Android VisualOn Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) Wide-Band (Encoder)"

Regarding libavcodec-extra:
I am trying it now, to see if will solve the subtitles issue.
Your link is to the aramo-package, but I am on ecne. In ecne the latest version is 60.
According to https://packages.debian.org/forky/libavcodec-extra62 there is an even never version (62). Do you think it would make sense to see, if I can install that, or should I just use the one in the ecne repository (and wait to see if it is updated)?
Still, the issue with un-synchronized subtitles persists.
Regarding regionset:
If my dvd is set the the wrong region, would it even be able to open the first 'choose language' menu?
Does the region not decide if the dvd is playable at all?
.
OK, I will try.
What are they suppose to do?
I removed the post because libdvdread and libdvdnav are installed by default in Trisquel. I sent it before trying it on my virtual machine.
OK.
Do you have an internal dvd drive?
If so, can you access it from you VM?
And, is you VM managed via virt-manager?
I haven't used CDs and DVDs since 2009. Since then I only use flash drives and external hard drives
About virt-manager: Yes, I use it.
What happened? You post got cleared away!?
