Today I was watching “The Wire” season 3 while getting some work done. By mistake I ended up hitting the “title” button and was greeted with the following error message.
”DVD Player encountered a system error, -69889″
After doing some google’ing and some Apple - Support - Discussions searches this thread was all I could find regarding that error.Personally I don’t think it’s an issue with my DVD drive. VLC was able to play my DVD fine. Moreover I tried rebooting and deleting the file com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist in ~/Library/Preferences. My disk was also clean.Anybody else have any ideas? I’ll post a screen shot when I get a chance of the error and if I find a solution I’ll post it also.
UPDATE: Today I came home and installed some software and ended up doing another reboot thus clearing up this issue. Hopefully this issue was just a one shot deal but I would consider this a resolved issue.
I hope you are able to find a solution and can finish The Wire :’(
You should watch Charmed :-[
My guess is that you didn’t run a permission repair after a system update that carried over into dvd player cache corruption.
I am sorry your mac sucks vanlandw.
on a better note, you have a modded Xbox. I really need to have fulljeff help me do mine. It’s just sat here since i got a 360.
I found that starting the disk at the beginning (rather than where last played) fixed this problem for me which I am sure is a fluke- The Wire Season 1 disc 1… good luck.
hey i just brought the new apple mac pro and it comes up with the same error what do i do
