cdrom device side effect
Posted: 04 Apr 2006 14:57
Hi vlc devs,
I've got some 700Mo avi files (with subtitle in a separate .srt file) burned on cdrom and i've found with vlc version (linux version) < 0.8.5-* that i can play them like dvd with the dvdsimple:// command by direct access the device (eg /dev/scd0) or with an alias to this device (eg /dev/cdrom0).
Now with vlc version > 0.8.5-* i can play these cdrom only with the alias, direct access to the cdrom device is recognized as CDDA (on linux and on windows) which seems to be the "right" behaviour of the cd's/dvd's interface.
I found this side effect interesting (maybe strange and probably not so useful
) and i want to know if it would be possible/interesting to have a command like dvdsimple:// for movies burned on cdrom (cdromsimple:// or cdsimple:// on linux/win/mac) ?
