Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages When I insert a DVD a dialog appears asking what do I want do do with the inserted disk. If I try to open it with Kaffeine it fails to load giving the following error messages: xine Error - Kaffeine Player No plugin found to handle this resource (dvd:/) Details: xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [dvd:/] xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [dvd:/] xine: found input plugin : DVD Navigator xine: found demuxer plugin: AVI/RIFF demux plugin xine: found input plugin : file input plugin And then: xine Message: - Kaffeine Player Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc drive.) (system:/media/hdd) If then I go to Media Applet and click "Play DVD with Kaffeine" it works without problem. Thanks, Pau
I can confirm this. I believe it happens because when the kded daemon dialog spawns the dialog, the DVD is not yet mounted (for instance, ivman hasn't kicked in yet). When Kaffeine tries to open the DVD, it looks at that status and thinks the medium is unmounted when in fact it is by then mounted. Just some conjecture, but I do have the same results. Using DBUS/HAL. This may belong upstream; it could be that the kded daemon needs to cool its jets for a few seconds to let automounters deal with new media before it pops up a dialog. Maybe I'll give it a try plugging in a USB disk and letting the popup open up a Konq window, and see if I get an error or not. If I do I'll report back here.
Okay, I'm actually going to close this. On my development account, which is using fairly recent SVN for most of KDE and very recent SVN for Kaffeine, hitting Play DVD With Kaffeine works as expected. This is using vanilla KDE sources with fairly recent HAL and DBUS. So the answer is probably "it's fixed, but you'll have to wait for an upgade for your distribution."
