Ubuntu Multimedia :: DVD Playback Error - Could Not Read From Resource
Nov 18, 2010
When I insert a normal off the self DVD movie, I am unable to play it, I have tried 3 different media players:
Movie Player (An error occurred, could not read from resource)
VLC (loads the disc, shows a time of 00:00, and just won't play) GNOME MPlayer (pretty much the same as VLC, loads but won't play)
The funny thing about all this is that the one burned DVD I tried (no menus but structured as a DVD) will play, I'm thinking copyright?

I can not watch a DVD video using Movie Player. It gives the message: An Error Ocurred Can not read from resource. What does it want me to do ? Buy a new DVD player ? I have no trouble with this drive in another distribution on the same computer, or playing audio CDs in this very Debian OS. So I don't think there is anything wrong with the DVD drive. VLC won't do anything either.

Ubuntu 10.04 with proprietary nvidia drivers enabled. Ubuntu restricted extras also installed.
Can't play DVDs on Ubuntu. Totem gives the "Could not read from resource." when trying to load a DVD. VLC won't load it either.
Any packages I am missing? The movie is Pirates of the Caribbean if that matters at all.

when I try playing a dvd I get this on one DVD.
Error Could not read from resource.
Or another plays through the FBI warnings and stops. Or plays the video for a bit with background music leaving out the speakers voice, then stops.
Once I got a note that said I need gstreameraudiosink or something like that.

I am trying to play a DVD but get the error:
could not read from resource (movie player)
how I can perform a diagnostic n the cd/dvd drive?The DVD is fine - it played in a DVD player. I can also browse the files on the DVD so something else must be wrong.
VLC will not play it either but doesn't show an error.

I recently installed 10.04 LTS. I am now having problems with video playback. When I watch an .avi file in media player, it will play for a few minutes and then come up with an error: pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated
When I play them in vlc and kaffine they will play briefly then the sound will cut out. KMPlayer just stops without an error message.

I have an audio recorder that doubles as a music player. It can play WAV files. So I put in some WAV files and they are out of order, even if they are named numerically. Read somewhere about a little CLI software called fatsort so I installed. The device is located at /dev/sdc. So naturally I write fatsort /dev/sdc, it says something about permission. So sudo fatsort /dev/sdc. Thing is, it says:
Code: sort_fs: Device or resource busy! If I "eject" it (unmount) then it says something about cannot read boot sector or headers. On Windows there is FAT Sorter. It does not work in WINE. So every time I put something in, I have to get to a Windows computer to sort it. It seems like fatsort is the only program that sorts FAT systems in Ubuntu/Linux.

All of a sudden my Debian 5.05 system quits working in several different ways.I think it started after I was trying to set up Virtual Box. My first symptom was that when I was trying to convert a dd backup file to a virtual hard drive, the conversion program, part of the virtual box package, told me I was not part of the virtual box group. So I added myself. I could never get past this error message, so I gave up and figured I would google the answer later.
Next time I am on, my sound card does not work. The volume control in the Panel was a red X next to it and complains about the gstreamer not being present. After another round of google I find the brute force solution of giving everybody in every group rw access to everything in /dev/snd. This works. (My main user account was already part of the audio group. I added a new user and specifically added him to the audio group. Nothing. Only root had audio access.)
At about the same time I discovered I could no longer play DVDs. When the movie player starts, it says I may not have permission to play the movie. mplayer claims there is no stream found to handle url dvd://1Also when I add a thumb drive, the file system is read only.

When I try to playback a sound file in aucadity just after having played one in rhythmbox or totem or vlc (or presumably any other media player), I get the following message :
"Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate."
When I try again 2 or 3 seconds later, playback works fine. In fact if I wait 2 or 3 seconds after having stopped playback in rhythmbox or totem before starting playback in audacity, audacity doesn't give me the error message at all. Just wondering what causes this delay (as there are no delays when I go from rhythmbox to totem or vlc or anything else).

I am unable to rip from CD to .mp3 using pretty much any tool. Dolphin / Konqueror auidiocd:// KIO slave shows the mp3 folder, but when you move the tracks you get: Could not read some_song.mp3: encoding failed WARNING: libsndfile may ignore -r and perform fseek's on the input. Compile without libsndfile if this is a problem. I'm running 11.3 (KDE 4.4.4) with K3B 2 from Packman (with the k3b 2 codec package) and K3B fails as does the KIO slave method above. Lame version is: lame-3.98.4-2.pm.4.1.x86_64 Restricted multimedia formats packages are installed from Restricted formats/11.3 - openSUSE Community Wiki Alsa works great otherwise, I have no sound issue, etc. - just can't rip anything to mp3 Seems like I'm not the only one who has had this problem, there are a few posts here on the Suse Forum, and others elsewhere, but the resolution seems to be nebulous at best. Sometimes lame 3.98 from packman works for some guys, other times not, etc. Unable to rip an audio cd into mp3's using 11.2 - opensuse.opensuse.org - ArchiveOrange

So I cant seem to be able to install fedora 15. I think it is the disk. I have windows 7 already installed (and would like to keep it) It was installed on the end of the hard drive leaving a 100 GB chunk in the center of the drive open and unformatted (this may be the problem). Anyway I used the live cd and tried to format the unformatted partition to exf but it gives me this error
Code:
Error creating partition: helper exited with exit code 1: In part_add_partition: device_file=/dev/sda, start=105906176, size=104752742400, type=EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7

Error doing BLKPG ioctl with BLKPG_ADD_PARTITION for partition 2 of size 105905664 at offset 512 on /dev/sda: Device or resource busy
Do I have to reinstall windows for this to work or is there something I can try to do.

Using debian testing.
Pulseaudio got installed by default here during installtion. Since I don't want it I first ran "systemctl disable pulseaudio", "pulseaudio --kill", then without rebooting I use mpd with alsa alone and it worked fine.
But then i rebooted, and now all applications, mpd, mpv, chromium etc just says that alsa returns with "Device or resource busy", tried rebooting again with no effect.
The soundcard appears as card 1 according to the output of "aplay -l", and defined that card 1is suposed to be default with this in "/etc/asound.conf":
Code: Select allpcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
It occurred to me that there might be an issue with permissions to the soundcard so I ran "ls -l /dev/snd"
Code: Select alldrwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Mar 31 03:27 by-path
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 8 Mar 31 03:27 controlC0
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 2 Mar 31 03:27 controlC1
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 12 Mar 31 03:27 hwC0D0
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 7 Mar 31 03:27 hwC1D0
[Code] ....
My user is a part of the audio group:
Code: Select alluid=1000(roberth) gid=1000(roberth) groups=1000(roberth),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),108(netdev),111(scanner)
As far as I can tell, that looks fine unless I am missing something?

I use Rhythmbox to transfer songs to my iPod (nano 1st gen). I installed Mediatomb the other day so I could stream music and video on my PS3 (which is awesome btw). Unfortunately, using Mediatomb my PS3 would only find a small portion of my music collection.So I ran Code:sudo nautilus then right clicked on my music folder, and changed the Group category to "Create and delete files" under the Permissions tab. After, my PS3 found my entire music collection. Great. But now in Rhythmbox I get an error about the mp3 files being read-only and can't transfer them to my iPod I've tried reversing the steps (with and without 'sudo'), but no luck. Under the File Access section of Permissions, I can never change anything (like to "read only" or "read and write"). No matter what I choose it always stays at "---"

The error message I keep getting during mounting is:-
device-mapper: remove ioctl failed: Device or resource busy
This is from ane external USB HDD I use as a backup device. I've tried formatting it as ext4 ane encrypting it from the command line
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1
# cryptestup luksFormat /dev/sdc1
which run without errors but an attempt to mount throws up the above error as well as saying - you must specify the file type (tried that) - and fails to mount. I've tried using YaST to format and encrypt it which throws up the same error when I run mount but actually does actually mount the filesystem Googling around has brought up info saying that it's probably a race condition brought on by invalid udev rules. I've got a (mostly) working system and the udev rules documentation leaves more confused than when I started.

I was just mucking about in xfce, trying out new window buttons in conjunction with the black theme - dusk?? - when POW! - X shut down. Rebooting didn't restore things. Error is along these lines:
xfce4-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. xfwm4: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
[Code]....
Is there a config file I can edit to get away from the window button setting it dislikes, or is reinstalling xfce the only option?

I am using debian squeeze and did an aptitude upgrade yesterday. Today I've found that VLC won't play any video; the files open and the audio plays, but the video is black. The aptitude log is below.
I note that VLC received a security upgrade a few days ago, but my suspicion is that the source of this problem is more likely to be the upgrade of libavcodec52 from version 4:0.5.2.6 -> 5:0.6.1+svn20101128-0.2. I believe this upgrade came from the debian-multimedia stable repo I have enabled.
Does this sound right, and what could I do to fix my VLC playback? This is new territory for me, and I'm slightly surprised that such an upgrade would come from the stable branch of debian-multimedia (although I know this is not an official source).

Yesterday I fresh installed Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit LTS on my Toshiba Laptop. This is my second time with Ubuntu so bear with me. I got everything working even the webcam but it won't play dvd movies. When I go to the DVD player icon and try to open it...its won't because it doesn't recognize the dvd format.I have searched but only end up trying stuff that didn't work for it. I guess what it needs is Codec's.
