Im trying to open a dvd and play it. I am trying a number of programs
but I cannot seem to get it to open my dvd.
I have tried totem, kmplayer and finally mplayer from terminal.
$mplayer dvd://1
gives me:

libdvdread: Could not open device with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/acd0 for reading.
Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/acd0

This seems to have happened a few weeks ago, because i have used
kmplayer (on gnome) before and I had no problems playing dvd's.
Could someone help me out?

Does your user have read permissions for /dev/acd0?

Thanks Fabian
How can i check this. Im not using root.

fk@TP51 ~ $ls -l /dev/acd0
crw-rw---- 1 root operator 0, 99 Apr 30 13:28 /dev/acd0

fk@TP51 ~ $id
uid=1001(fk) gid=1001(fk) groups=1001(fk), 0(wheel), 5(operator), 201(privoxy)

To get these permissions I have:

fk@TP51 ~ $grep ^perm /etc/devfs.conf
perm smb0 0660
perm acd0 0660
perm xpt0 0660
perm pass0 0660

If your user isn't already part of the operator group you
could add him/her, or make /dev/acd0 world readable (0664).
