I'm trying to make a DVD play in vlc when inserted. The command line is set to 'vlc /dev/dvd', which works perfectly in XFCE, but in trinity it results in an error box with title 'Error - KIOExec' and contents '/media/cdrom0 is a folder, but a file was expected.'
The problem seems to be that the DVD isn't getting mounted before VLC tries to play it. When I put in a DVD and the window pops up, if I first double-click on the DVD's icon on the desktop to mount it and open it in Konqueror, then go back to the window and select 'Open in VLC', then VLC opens and plays it without the above error.
So the question becomes, (a) how do I make it (KIOExec?) mount the DVD before VLC tries to play it? And shouldn't it already do it right, like XFCE does?
By the way, this is on Debian Wheezy.
