vlc on sparc solaris

[Stefan Hinker - Sun Germany - BCG Frankfurt]

Hi All!

I've just been trying to run vlc on a SunBlade 100.  So far, I have not
been successfull in reading a DVD.  The GUI comes up ok, but what do I use
as a device for the DVD?  There is no such thing as "/dev/dvd" in Solaris.
I've tried all the approriate entries from /dev/dsk/c*, all the files
that ls lists in /cdrom/dvd_video/VIDEO_TS:

-r--r--r--   1 root     sys        14336 Nov 10  1998 VIDEO_TS.BUP
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys        14336 Nov 10  1998 VIDEO_TS.IFO
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys      265269248 Nov 10  1998 VIDEO_TS.VOB
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys       126976 Nov 10  1998 VTS_01_0.BUP
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys       126976 Nov 10  1998 VTS_01_0.IFO
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys      7708672 Nov 10  1998 VTS_01_0.VOB
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys      1073739776 Nov 10  1998 VTS_01_1.VOB
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys      1073739776 Nov 10  1998 VTS_01_2.VOB
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys      1073739776 Nov 10  1998 VTS_01_3.VOB
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys      1073739776 Nov 10  1998 VTS_01_4.VOB
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys      1073739776 Nov 10  1998 VTS_01_5.VOB
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys      1073739776 Nov 10  1998 VTS_01_6.VOB
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys      769599488 Nov 10  1998 VTS_01_7.VOB

and I've tried the block device /vol/dsk/dvd_video.

All to no avail.  It seems vlc can not read the DVD, as it reports
a broken pipe.  See the output right here:

./vlc -v /vol/dsk/dvd_video
VideoLAN Client - version 0.2.83 Ourumov - (C)1996-2001 VideoLAN

module: browsing `.'
module: browsing `plugins'
module: browsing `/usr/local/lib/videolan/vlc'
module: locking module `gtk'
intf: interface initialized
input: playlist item `/vol/dsk/dvd_video'
module: locking module `ps'
Read failed (Broken pipe)
module: locking module `downmix'
module: locking module `imdct'
module: unlocking module `ps'
module: locking module `motion'
module: locking module `idctclassic'
intf: ignoring signal 14

Anyone know a solution?

Thanks!
