Public bug reported:
I am running Mythbuntu 8.04.
I have installed all the codecs/CSS packages, but MythTV (or Mplayer/VLC) can't
play the DVDs. I believe that the error is that the programs are looking in
/dev/dvd for the DVD and that does not exist on my system. I know that I need:
ln -sf /dev/??? /dev/dvd
but I don't know how to find out the sda/sdb device that corresponds to my DVD
drive.
Also, how do I make the link permanent (survive a reboot)?
Why isn't a /dev/dvd created when Ubuntu is installed? The media players
seem to use it. /dev/cdrom exists on the system and works correctly,
why can't Ubuntu make a /dev/dvd that goes to the same place? Is this
something that I should file a bug for?
Thanks a lot for your help.
