It is in the process of adding the appropriate calls. Apparently they can play part of the StarGate DVD using the Livdev software under the linux compatibility libraries. http://daily.daemonnews.org has more information about it. > -- > * Jens Axboe <axboe@image.dk> > * Linux CD-ROM Maintainer > * http://www.kernel.dk -- Rod Taylor Partner of Zort (zort.on.ca) -- -- Rod Taylor Partner of Zort (zort.on.ca) --

Hannum root@ihack.net Subject: [Livid-dev] Re: Net/Free/OpenBSD Speaking as the person who wrote the code: yes, NetBSD now supports the same DVD calls (but not yet FIBMAP) that are in Linux 2.3.24. I'm working on making the decoder software build natively, but it currently runs okay[*] under Linux emulation. So far I've tested Stargate (the original DVD release), A Bug's Life, Alien and Evita. [*] Actually, the Linux executable I'm using seems to hang occasionally (under both Linux and NetBSD) while playing audio and video simultaenously, even with `-ns'. Under NetBSD, I can send SIGUSR1 to a particular `thread' to wake it up again. (This seems to kill it under Linux.)

Hannum root@ihack.net Subject: [Livid-dev] Re: Net/Free/OpenBSD BTW, I've discovered at least one bug in the Linux DVD ioctls... In dvd_layer: start_sector, end_sector and end_sector_l0 should be 32-bit numbers. The Linux code actually decodes them as 24-bit numbers and then truncates them to 8 bits. Not very helpful.
