DVD Player with Liberty Phone

Hardware Librem 5
22

Then that would be a starting point to compare behaviour.

Note that all the stuff about needing the right package to contain the keys so that you can play a commercial DVD is correct but before you even get to that point, the device has to be recognised.

From that perspective and with a goal of fault isolation, I would try a data DVD first. You could also try a commercial audio CD and a data CD before that even.

Also I do wonder whether the Librem 5 has the battery capacity to power itself and a DVD player for very long. I would probably use a dock with external power if this is a configuration that you plan to use much.

Hereā€™s what tricks detected after being plugged into the dock with external power (since the beginning of the conversation, Iā€™m always plugged into the dock when I plug into the CD drive) and with a CD (and not a DVD this time. But I donā€™t have CD or DVD dataā€¦Yesterday Iā€™ve tried with a CD-Rom and it does not work) in the drive that I canā€™t find when I do ls -l /dev without being plugged into the dock with the drive :

  • drwxr-xr-x (USB, input, disk, char, bsg, block)
  • brw-rw (sdb 1-2-3 and sdc and sdc 1)
  • crw hidraw (0-1-2)
