VLC only plays first track of downloaded CD's (libdvdcss)

Postby 98Guy » 23 May 2010 00:27

Windows media player is normally my default mp3 player. I recently installed VLC 0.8.6i (the last version that runs on win-98) and it seems to play the first track of CD's that I download from the net (these are MP3' format) but not the other tracks. WMP plays all tracks just fine, and a program called "MP3 Checker" finds no problems with any of the mp3 files. I started a debugger window and it is saying the following when I try to play the other tracks:

libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 0.2.0cvs from http://dvd.sf.net
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access
libdvdread: Cound not open (file_name.mp3) with libdvdcss.

plus a few other lines.

The files are on my hard drive - not my DVD drive. Why does VLC think these are video or DVD files?

VLC tries to identify every file before playing. Some bugs in this code can lead to something like this. Tools like WinMP3Packer might "fix" those files.
