Re: [LUG] Portable DVD Player

 

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
