auto-mount dvd/cd

Hi,

I have just upgraded to XBMCbuntu Eden. I have problems with the DVD/CDs not auto mounting, nothing happens when i put in a disc. If i reboot the machine with the CD/DVD inside it will mount and display in the menu. How can i solve this?

Hi, I have the same problem. Can you check if your findings are similar to mine?

Boot with Audio-CD or Movie DVD inside: DVD gets mounted in /media/CDROM (or Volumename)
xbmc has the "Play DVD" menue item, you can play the disc, eject it.

Boot without disk, insert after boot:
Nothing gets mounted, sometimes the "Play DVD" menu appears, DVD can be played.
This is not really reproducible, sometimes yes, sometimes not.

Boot without disk, exit XBMC and start a desktop session. Insert disk: Everything fine. Disk gest mounted, and a file manager appears. This works with data disks, movie DVDs, and audio CDs.

Ciao
Tom

I too have this problem and have the same symptoms as thd042.

Edit: Using a fresh install of XBMCbuntu 11.0.

Looks like we found a bug.

Does anyone have a system where automount works? We are talking in my case about
xbmc 2:11.0~git20120321.14feb09-0ubuntu1~ppa1~oneiric
and
Linux xbmc 3.0.0-17-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 17:34:21 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I have done some testing and mounting appears to work for usb media(SD, and Thumb drive). So, this problem appears to be effecting the optical drive only.

Also, dmesg gives no new output after an optical disk is inserted.

I tried all of the scenarios but added one more. All of the ones mentioned by thd042 gives me the same output, although my dvd never mounts.

I logged into an XbmcBuntu session and in there everything mounts ok. I then logged out and entered my password for a new session of Xbmc and now the DVD mounts every time. I thought this might be a permissions issue so I changed owner of /media to my user xbmc and gave full permissions on that folder but it's not working anyway.

@jawsdas: Yeah right, USB-Sticks and alike work. That seems to rule out dbus errors, but makes it even more puzzling.

Hi all, has anyone been able to fix this little problem? (obviously i've ran into the same issue).

I just tried a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 with Eden to see if that would solve the problem, but i doesn't. The same problem occurs. I have no idea how to solve this and frankly the system is just useless without being able to mount the cd/dvd drive.

I think i will have to go back to Dharma, if i can find it somewhere.

Yes, what I would like to see confirmed from someone is, if it works on any system and robbanl and I do something stupid, or if this is a bug.
