Description William Kenney 2017-06-25 20:33:32 CEST
Description of problem:

In Plasma System Settings -> Hardware -> Removable Storage
there are no calls for using VLC to play a DVD. In Mageia 5 the calls are:

Open with Video Player (Dragon Player)			dragon --play-dvd
Open with VLC media player				vlc vcd://%25d
Open with VLC media player				vlc cdda://%25d
Open with VLC media player				vlc dvd://%25d
Open with VLC media player				vlc bluray://%25d

In Mageia 6 there are no VLC media player calls to play a DVD and it looks like this:

Open with Video Player (Dragon Player)			dragon --play-dvd

From what I'm seeing when the DVD in inserted the launch selection menu appears
on the right hand bottom corner of the screen and it reports "7 actions for this device"
none of which are for VLC. There is "Open with Video Player ( Dragon Player ).
I'm struggling getting Dragon Player to play the DVD.

Using VLC -> Media -> Open disc -> tick "No disc menus" -> Play
that works just fine.

So to Plasma System Settings -> Hardware -> Removable Storage I added:

Open Video Player (VLC)     vlc dvdsimple:///dev/sr0    (command)
and I can select that and launch the DVD without menus.

Did the "Open with VLC media player" selections get left out for a reason
or forgotten?

Looks like this bug was because KDE solid changed the paths.
Please test vlc-3.0.5-2 in updates_testing to ensure the bug is fixed for you like it was for me.
