The error given here "Media region code is mismatched to logical unit" sounds like the drive believes that it's not allowed to read content of that type. Are you trying to view a non-US/Canada movie in the drive?

Hello all,

Today I received my slot loading pioneer dvd rom drive from newegg.com. But linux tells me there are problems with it. The problem is my new hardware right? Or should I upgrade my kernel? I wanted to be sure before sending it back.

kernel 2.4.22(slackware 9.1)

thanks, baris

Well, if it works I wouldn't worry about it. It is likely that xine is trying "region 0" for playing DVDs from any region, although this is just a guess.

Do I need to set a region code? Here is what I think, I used my first dvd-rom first with a windows system. Probably the player there, changed the region setting to the first DVD that I put in it. But for a long time I do not have windows on my computer, so this new drive has born directly into linux. In linux do we still have region codes? If yes, may be that error is because I am expected to decide on a region? I found a utility regionset http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvd/ here is its output: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ root@penguen:~# ./regionset /dev/dvd Current Region Code settings: RPC Phase: II type: NONE vendor resets available: 4 user controlled changes resets available: 5 drive plays discs from region(s):, mask=0xFF Would you like to change the region setting of your drive? [y/n]:n ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I could not decide whether a region is set already(by xine, or libdvdread or something...) or not. Other than region setting error it looks like I have a "driveready seekcomplete error" problem. What does this error mean?
