Hi Richard Have you tried a different dvd ? Have you got the libdvdread etc installed ? see output from apt search libdvd (or the equivalent on your OS), as there are various libraries needed to handle dvd's Running the above on Debian 9.6 appears to tell me if these are installed or not. Probably less helpful:- Are you plugging in the DVD player before or after you login, sometimes it can get mounted as a different user. Lets just rule out the OS doing something silly. Hope this helps or at least helps narrow down the issue(s). Paul On 04/12/2018 15:54, Richard Brown wrote: > Hi > > I am using a portable DVD player on my PC.
