[Solved] SMPlayer and Kaffeine cannot play DVDs, VLC can
I cannot play DVDs with SMPlayer or Kaffeine.
Here is the terminal output of SMPlayer:
Debug: BaseGui::openDVD
Debug: DiscName::join: result: 'dvd://1//dev/dvd'
Debug: Core::openDVD: 'dvd://1//dev/dvd'
Debug: DiscName::split: disc_url: 'dvd://1//dev/dvd'
Debug: DiscName::split: protocol: 'dvd'
Debug: DiscName::split: title: '1'
Debug: DiscName::split: device: '/dev/dvd'
Warning: Core::openDVD: folder invalid, not playing dvd
Kaffeine puts up an error message saying
01:33:00 AM: xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [dvd://]
01:33:00 AM: xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [dvd://]
01:33:00 AM: xine: found input plugin : DVD Navigator
VLC plays all DVDs just fine.
Please, what can be the reason for the problems?
PS: I forgot to mention, that I was definitely able to play DVDs with Kaffeine until yesterday. No upgrades on my system were made AFAIK.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just had the same problem even though yours happened six months ago I couldnt figure out how to change /dev/dvd to /dev/sr0 in kaffeine so I did a quick workaround: I removed /dev/dvd and softlinked /dev/sr0 to /dev/dvd and now everything works perfectly. Oddly enough how you said yours didnt work in mplayer or kaffiene but did in vlc, mine didnt work at all in any of them!

For some reason, I cannot play a DVD in Window Media Player while using the ATI graphics. I get an error that says something like, "WMP cannot play DVD because the codec, graphics driver, digital copy protection, etc. are not compatible. You can try to update your graphics driver... blah blah blah" I updated to the latest ATI driver from their website, but I still get the same error.
I tried downloading another player, but that didn't work either. Any suggestions?You either have to install a DVD codec or you can use VLC player.

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded on my iPad Mini and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.
If the albums do appear in the Music app, hold down on the album icons and the X to delete will pop up on the icons. Tap the X to delete the albums.
You don't see a anything in iCloud, you see your previous purchases in the purchased tab of the store that you bought the content in. So you find your music purchases in the purchased tab of the iTunes app on your iPad. Tap on Purchased and look for the albums in the Not on this iPad section - assuming that you are able to delete the albums from the device. -

I have just bought a MacBook Air and i cannot play videos from the internet as it asks for a flash player to be installed i try to download Adobe flash player and it will not allow me to do so?
Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

I purchased an album on iTunes - Magna Carta - On July 9th. The album is all grey in My Music and I cannot play anything. I have the reciept however I don't know how to address the issue.... I have since bought music and it downloaded fine.
Hey kaliapple,
Thanks for the question. First, you can try deleting and redownloading the purchase by following along with this:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If that doesn't resolve the issue, then you can read how to report an issue with your purchase here:

I moved from USA to South Africa and now cannot play my music on my new PC. I cannot remember the password for my USA account so cannot deauthorize that account to allow me to play my music on my South African account. How can I now play the music? When I try to use my secret questions to access my old account I am told I have the wrong answers, including my own birth date!!!
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them: -

I'm using OS X Mavericks and Safari cannot play videos on Apple website. Any clue?
Usually, that's due to a DivX plug-in or Safari extension... start with Safari - Preferences - Extensions & switch them off. If nothing there, see Safari - Help - Installed Plug-ins & note any that are for DivX.

I received a cd from a dj and itunes cannot play the cd. Why?
I received a Cd from a disc jockey and iTunes cannot play the CD. Why?
It could well be an MP3 CD, which many car players will now handle. Those disks are basically just data disks, so if the tracks are indeed MP3, dragging them into the iTunes window should do the trick.
Regards.

Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them
Why are some songs on my phone in pale text and I cannot play them
the songs are in the libraryI had the same problem when only about 5% of my 11,000 song collection on my Ipad would play after downloading OS 7.0. I re synced my Ipad with ITunes on my MacBook selecting no music and all of the music was erased from the Ipad. I then re-synched it selecting all music, all songs re-loaded, and all songs play just fine.

Every time I start my PC it says Procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll It also keeps freezing on Itunes and I cannot sync. Please can anyone help?
With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck -
