Was [Selecting a Player] thread.

Above is the error message I get when trying to open a video DVD with any
of the multimedia players. Mplaver, VLC, Xine, etc. The following is a
slightly different message.

There is no input plugin available to handle 'media:/sr0'

Can anyone give me a clue here? Please?

Just last night a guy came to our LUG meeting with 11.0 with a similar (the
same?) problem.

For some strange reason his dvd/cdrom device was /dev/hda - but Kaffeine
looks for /dev/dvd and VLC looks for /dev/sr0

I fixed it by creating symlinks with those names to /dev/hda. I found it
quite a strange problem - and I wonder if the same has happened to you.
Maybe some recent update has caused this problem. Are you on 11.0 too?

Hi Martin, Thanks for replying.

Yes. I am running 11.0. Will try your solution and see what happens. See my
reply to your next message.
