Help fix DVDPlayer App

[timewise]

Hey everybody,

 

I can't get DVDPlayer, iCal or about this mac to work . I did fix system profiler by replacing the spplatformreporter.sreporter here http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2240

I've also tried different applesmbios.kext and to no avail. I used the leopard flat image and replaced the kernel w/ sse2. I did a restore from tiger on a 120GB partition and went smoothly. Repaired permissions and everything except above mentioned works. When I start messing w/ the kext files I lose networking unless I boot w/ -f. I don't know what else to do. Is there any new kernels or applesmbios for sse2.

 

Thanks

Thanks for responding ppg

 

I did try that and I was able to launch DVDPlayer and the DVD would start to play and then quit. It also gave me a report whereas before it would just crash.

 

How can I get a different applesmbios to try Or maybe I could edit v1.0.11 to work.

Also when I try to manually load v1.0.11 I get this error

 

extension /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext has potential problems:

Warnings

{

"Kext has a kernel dependency prior to version 6.0 and CFBundleVersion does not match executable's MODULE_VERSION" = true

}

 

kextload: extension /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext appears to be loadable

kextload: extension /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext is already loaded

 

I am running Leopard Flat Image version and I did not replace dsmos like suggested here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...077&hl=sse2

In tiger I did not see this kext and wonder if it is necessary. I deleted it from Leopard once and it did not seem to affect anything.Any more suggestions would be helpful.

 

Update: Replaced dsmos.kext and did not fix .

I am having a similar issue.

 

DVDPlayer will work on DVD's, but when I open a VIDEO_TS file I get

 

2/2/08 11:27:26 PM [0x0-0x2d02d0].com.apple.DVDPlayer[5085] error: Error getting a reference to /options.

2/2/08 11:27:26 PM com.apple.launchd[121] ([0x0-0x2d02d0].com.apple.DVDPlayer[5085]) Exited with exit code: 1

 

I have not tried the applesmbios.kext changes yet.

I had problems with DVDPlayer under Tiger and I found a sse2 kernel that allowed it to work properly.

My guess is it is related to sse2 kernels in Leopard.

Install Tiger and see if it works.

I am having a similar issue. I built a hackintosh on a bad axe 2 mobo that worked perfectly, but on my new build DVD's will play if they're in the drive, but Video_TS folders are a no go. They work in VLC but not DVD player or front row. Very frustrating! Did you ever find a fix?
