[LINUX] Local DVD Drive as Source - ::Jon:: - 2010-04-30
Hi,
Sorry for the noob question, but I'm buggered if I can figure out the correct setting to have my DVD Drive as a Video Source.
I've successfully setup directories as a source, and even a source to a myth:// backend.
Can't for the life of me figure the setting to allow it to connect to the DVD Drive.
I've tried /dev/sr0 and /dev/dvd, but XBMC complains that it cannot connect via the network.
If I click on the little play icon on the bottom left (default skin) - it plays the DVD
If I have the DVD auto-play when inserted - it plays too.
I just can't get it to be a Video Source.
Please help.

Did you try mounting the DVD drive either via command line or fstab?

This other thread I just read was using a source path of udf://dev/sr0

Thanks.
I've since found the PLAY DISC option in the context menu.
I've also found that setting up a source iso9660:// and going into it, and seeing "VIDEO_TS", and trying to browse into that directory - plays the disc (not the prettiest solution, as I'm now playin "VIDEO_TS" - not DVD).
I just saw that other thread, and will try those suggestions too.
