Linux Playing audio CD
#1
Hi everybody.

I wanted to play audio CD from external DVD unit on my Raspberry Pi with RaspBMC operating system. XBMC tried several times to play the tracks and then an error message appeared. A part of the log file:
Code:
21:14:41 T:3040923648  NOTICE: COMXPlayer: Opening: cdda://local/01.cdda

21:14:47 T:3040923648   ERROR: Playlist Player: skipping unplayable item: 0, path

DVD plays normally from the external unit. I tried the same unit on my netbook with the same version of XBMC (12.3) under Debian/stable and the CD played without problems.

Does anybody know what is the problem?

Thanks in advance

How are you providing power to the external DVD drive? If you are simply plugging it into the rPi, that's not gonna work. You will need and active powered hub. I would even be surprised if a B+ was able to provide sufficient power even after configuring for the USB power boost.

Hi.

I've got an active powered hub. DVDs play normally as I wrote.

Problem was solved by updating XBMC.
