DVD autoplay with VLC
 

I'm using KDE. How can I make VideoLanClient to autoplay my DVDs? I found the solution for xine, it was something like in Control Centre's Peripherals -> Storage Media.

Any clues for VLC?

Try:
vlc dvd://[device]
or if you don't want menus:
vlc dvdsimple://[device]
Where [device] is the the dev node(/dev/dvd).

Hope you get it to work.

Thanks munthe, that's the reasonable approach but it doesn't work on KDE. The device is /dev/hdc. When I use either "vlc dvd:///dev/hdc" or "vlc dvd://" or "vlc dvdsimple://..." I get the error "Expected to find file but found folder instead" or sth like that.

Hmmn it works fine for me on gnome, is the dvd mounted?
Try do vlc dvd:///dev/hdc from a terminal and post the output here.
EDIT: also did xine play the dvd without any errors?

DVD is mounted and vlc dvd:// or vlc dvd:///dev/hdc works ok from the terminal. So does xine from the terminal. But when I use this syntax in KDE's control centre, xine just fires up without playing anything. No error message.

The only way to make xine autoplay the dvd was xine dvd:/ #%u.

Maybe if the #%u is some kde stuff for the current dvdrom in use, then "vlc dvd:// #%u" might work?

They might come up with a solution in the fedora camp :D
