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.' Clearly I'm missing something, but I
have no idea what. Any hints?
Thanks.

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.

No one has any idea about this? Am I the only one who uses VLC to play DVDs
on Trinity?

When I put in a DVD it automounts.
It's not that I don't do what you're doing, I just don't have the same
problem.

And you're using VLC with Trinity?
I've seen this problem on probably 6 or 7 different machines, every time I
try to play DVDs with VLC under Trinity. It works fine if I manually tell
VLC to play the DVD, but it will not mount automatically without user
intervention. On the same machines, it works fine under XFCE. (It also
works fine with Kaffeine, but I want to use VLC.)
So clearly XFCE is doing something different; the question is, how do I make
Trinity handle mounting the DVD automatically like XFCE does?

Remember that playing encrypted DVDs on unlicensed devices (e.g. Linux) is
illegal in the United States, therefore there are a number of TDE users
that cannot legally do this. This narrows the pool of potential users
with your use case down somewhat. :-)

Or at least, the pool of those willing to admit it. :) So let's assume the
DVDs are unencrypted, non-commercial DVDs, as are those I'm using to try to
debug this.
Now that I have your attention, Tim, can you think of any reason the disks
are getting automounted under XFCE but not under Trinity?

If I remember correctly (using unencrypted home videos some time ago),
mounting the DVD is different from playing the DVD to the point where

It works fine with Kaffeine on Trinity.
It works fine with VLC on XFCE.
It works fine with Parole on XFCE.
The only case that doesn't work is VLC on Trinity. That's a problem for me
because VLC is the only player I'm aware of that can adjust the playback
speed, which saves time, and helps make slow, boring videos less slow and
boring. :)

I've added an option for 'Play with VLC', which executes the command 'vlc
/dev/dvd', which works perfectly in the equivalent place in XFCE. But in
Trinity, VLC fails with the error in my first post on this problem:
'/media/cdrom0 is a folder, but a file was expected.'
But, if I double-click on the DVD's desktop icon, which mounts it and opens
it in Konqueror, then close that window and go back and select 'Play with
VLC', it works.
If the problem were with VLC, it wouldn't work in XFCE either, but it does.
So I think the problem is something with Trinity.

I'm noticing that when I right-click "open with..." and put VLC, it's
trying to open this file:
VLC could not open the file "/home/curt/system:/media/sr0/VIDEO_TS".
(No such file or directory)
Of course not, because the "/home/curt/system:" part should not be
appended to the directory.
Anyone else notice this?

This could very well be the cause, as the tdeioslave is aware of "TDE" vs.
"non-TDE" applications and may have improperly rewritten the URL for VLC
(a "non-TDE application).

When I open VLC, , "Media" "Open Disk...", and "Play"
/dev/dvd, it
does work. So it seems the directory issue may very well be "it".
