g-v-m's default DVD autoplay command doesn't work
Last modified: 2005-03-30 21:57:53 UTC
Please describe the problem: The default autoplay_dvd_command in gnome-volume-manager.schemas doesn't actually work to play DVDs. With the current version of totem and g-v-m, it should be changed from "totem %d" to "totem dvd://" in order to use the URI handling. "totem %d" produces errors of not knowing how to play the device, whereas "totem dvd://" actually plays the DVD Steps to reproduce: 1. Run gnome-volume-properties 2. Make sure "Play video DVDs when inserted" is checked, and leave the DVD autoplay command at the default "totem %d" 3. Insert a DVD Actual results: Errors of the type "don't know how to play the file /dev/hdc," and totem fails to play the DVD. Expected results: Totem should play the DVD, like it does if you change the autoplay command to "totem dvd://" or select "Play Disc" from the totem menu. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
Committed to gnome-2-10 branch and head. Bug fixed.
