I've almost got things sorted out on this new machine and new 10.1
installation. I've got sound working finally, but have a small issue I
don't know where to remedy.
Upon insertion of a pre-recorded commercial DVD, k3b pops up on autostart.
I'd expect a DVD player to run rather than a recorder, as the disk(s) is
not blank.
I checked the /etc/dynamic/user-scripts directory and edited the
video_dvd.script file by moving the order of the called players listed
there to place vlc at the top of the list. But none of the players were
getting launched anyway.
I can successfully watch DVDs by opening them up from a player, i.e.
Kaffeine (Xine) VLC, Mplayer, etc, but a player never gets launched on
autostart. From the command line the commands entered in the script (with
variables replaced with actual devices for the test) runs each app fine.
I don't believe this script is ever getting called. I am trying to discover
where k3b intercepts the DVD insertion. I've checked kdeglobals, but found
no references to any devices there.
I'd sure appreciate a pointer to where k3b is getting called on DVD
insertion.
Thanks in advance,
Rick Kunath
In 10.1 magicdev is used to launch applications when a CD/DVD is inserted.
Magicdev gets its configuration from /etc/gconf/schemas/magicdev.schemas.
Depending on the type of media detected it will launch one of the scripts in
/etc/dynamic/user-scripts
I do not know why your DVDs are being detected as blank media, but if you
edit those scripts you can make it launch whatever you want.
