I cannot play DVDs (Region 2) with MediaPlayer, VLC, and SMplayer…
No idea why, Haiku was playing DVD in the past even it took some time then to load the DVD with VLC.
Please can you all confirm and test the DVD and Audio performance on the Drive (not files)?
Edit:
The mount path has to be set each time you use VLC:
It is not!: /dev/dvd
Can you play audio CDs the old way - play the virtual WAV files exposed by the cdda_fs in Media Player?
To find the correct device mount path use the DriveSetup app:
or the df command in Terminal:
Then insert the correct Device mount path in VLC:
VLC will not find the DVD path automatically nor store it in preferences!
In SMPlayer you have to insert the mount path in CD an DVD preference field:
Then the DVD’s will play!
Edit: If the DVD plays in VLC you can then drag n’ drop the DVD icon to the VLC player to play it! No need to insert the mount device point each time for the DVD.
I just tried but it is a very poor performance!
If I copy the .wav files MediaPlayer will play them just fine!
How to runn the files in Terminal?
I experience exactly the same issue with direct play performance vs copied .wavs!
Probably this is a bug in cddafs and should be fixed. Please do open a ticket if there is not one already.
Ahoy !
I searched for this issue for playing Audio CDs, I saw it was in Beta3, but it still persists.
Also I’ve seen the requested ticket and that was closed, as
ticket #16331 is still open about it.
I added my update on Haiku Beta4 x86_64, asking for fix it.
Asked CD play in terminal :

As it cannot skip to next - adding one file - I searched for a GUI program.
Only fre:ac can create playlist - as it is a converter program, however it has the usual, regular control buttons as well.
Only volume cannot be controlled directly from the program - you can use Mixer to set the volume.
There is a ‘Haiku sound plugin’ that appears when playing with freac where you can set the sound volume, or just use the Main system amp slide.
Kind regards,
EDIT :
Í installed SMPlayer - that’s finally plays Audio CDs - it works with drag’n’drop the icon only.
It creates a list of tracks of the disc and start to plays them automatically flawlessly.
