fedora 14 dvd


fedora 14 x86_64.
I've got this standalone workstation pretty much to where it's working alright for my situation. I've done most of all the post install exercises. This is more of an annoyance issue.

The problem is the system autodetects music cds and offers to open the rythymbox player. However, for dvd video, it doesn't do this so I use
applications>sound&video>vlc media player>media>open disc to play dvds (I gave up on totem and installed vlc through yum instead).

I've tried system>preferences>file management>media and choose the vlc player for dvd video. But this does not resolve autodetection of dvds.

note: vlc is not listed in modules or domains in selinux management.

It's an annoyance as I've got to manually umount the /dev/dvd in order to eject the media from the dvd device if its been played. Any suggestions where to look?

Read my Post of today on "Problems reading /dev/dvd" and I think that will fix your problem. Good Luck !

Thanks for the suggestion but it did not solve my problem. VLC can open the dvd and play fine. I think it's detected but its not proceeding to an available app to open with. Then afterwards, I have to manually use "umount /dev/dvd" to be able to eject the disk.

This is the sympthom I'm finding: a music cd will not proceed to an app if a dvd was used, unless /dev/dvd was umounted first. So something must be amiss in the way dvds are handled.

This is a snippet of dmesg:
