pathname to dvd player 'appears' to have changed

Linux Support

Good one this . . . . . . I installed acidrip after some searching for an easy ripper to burn some of my dvd’s to hard drive -

The first one i did was called GOGS (fwiw hilarious) I read through the instructions, put a dvd in, loaded up acidrip, and nothing. . . . . in - /dev/dvd nothing came up when I pressed ‘load’ so . . . . I opened up the file manager, copied the file path and tried that – /media/dave/GOGS - then when i pressed load - it loaded, and I managed to queue it all up and get it to rip - however . . . . . now I can’t get anything else to load, I’ve tried putting a monty python dvd in and I can’t seem to be able to either point it to a path or get it to find one, and I don’t know how to change the settings, there doesn’t seem to be anything to change it with? ! Why do these people make something so hard to use ? lol And to top it off, when i right click/properties for the dvd player and go to permissions, it says 'permissions of ‘GOGS’ could not be determined ’

I’m lost . . . . . .

A DVD won’t have permissions … the file system doesn’t support them.

If you insert a DVD does it get automounted ?

What’s the outpput from

mount

Hi Mark,

I just changed some settings so VLC auto plays when inserted as I’d turned it off - the output from mount -

Bugger . . . I gone done it again . . . . I don’t know if what I did made a difference but I just read something about checking the mount points so I opened disks and copied the path . . . . . then it worked . . . . . lol . . . . sorry mark another false alarm or so it seems at the moment, i’ll let you know if it changes.

I think you should just be able to set it to
/dev/sr0
and it should work.
