That is a super bad idea. Read errors can happen for various reasons,
including obviously defective disks, purposefully standard-violating
disks (unfortunately a lame but common practice to attempt to contain
DVD piracy). Advising the user to set region upon read error would a
time bomb. It will cause many many users to destroy their drives
accidentally.
Besides, your drive is supposed to be zoned when you buy it. I fail to
see how the media player is to be blamed.
