Yes, i think so. i've now got a solid_mtp.desktop file. This action is new to me because under KDE4 it always popped a choice of what to do when the camera was plugged in. i have to launch digikam now instead clicking the "Device Notifier" option which is fine.
I don't think there should be any change between KDE4 and Plasma5 regarding this. But again, I never used such a camera. Check that you have kio_ktp5 installed. IIUYC, you copied KDE4's solid_mtp.desktop file to Plasma5, that doesn't work, as you still miss the mtp: kio slave. I didn't think there would be any difference either. I didn't copy that file, i used another login and launched digikam, hoping digikam would still be able to access the files on the camera without "Device Notifier" recognising the camera and it did work. I don't know where the file came from as i did also

I have now renamed the "/usr/share/solid/actions" directory, created a new "/usr/share/solid/actions" directory and copied all the files from the "/usr/share/kde4/apps/solid/actions/" into the new directory. The "Device Notifier" now recognises the CD-R and DVDs.
Why? because if i "ls -L" or readlink on that directory i got error messages from all the linked files e.g. "cannot access k3b_copy_disc.desktop: Too many levels of symbolic links" so this made me think the files were screwed.
You replaced the KF5/Plasma5 files with KDE4's now. Probably not a good idea. And you'll get the originals back when installing updates. As long as the originals are correct links/files, it should be fine
An Audio CD is indeed not shown if there are no device actions defined. The Packman k3b package doesn't symlink them to /usr/share/solid/actions/, so they are missing in Plasma5, the standard k3b package in Tumbleweed does though. So install that, or symlink/copy the files manually. The Audio CD does now work.
A data CD does show up fine though, as you can "Open with file manager" (or mount it) in any case. It does since i copied the actions files
But again, I think that KDE4 probably had exactly the same behavior. I have yet to try it though...
Now i've got the "Device Notifier" working, it only pops up the first time by itself, i have to click the "show hidden icons" to make it appear with the correct options if i have to put in another CD/DVD. Audio CDs, DVDs now appear in dolphin as well.
Ok, it doesn't popup if it is hidden. But how should it if it is hidden?
If there are devices available, it should not be hidden though. It is hidden until a device is notified but when i first made the changes it only popped up on the first time i inserted a DVD and it didn't show automatically on the second or third times unless i pressed "Show Hidden Icons". I've since logged out and logged in as another user and now i'm back to this user and its now working correctly on popping up everytime. So, thats now solved as well. Did you hide it yourself in the system tray settings? Why not just set it to "Auto"? They are all set to Auto, i've not changed this setting.
But again, KF5 solid device actions should not really have an influence on dolphin, in particular the KDE4 version.
Looks like the lining of the "/usr/share/solid/actions" files got all screwed up during the when i installed Plasma 5.3 over KDE4. lining -> linking
Hm? You did not install Plasma5.3's /usr/share/solid/actions file "over" KDE4's, as they are in completely different directories. But I don't fully understand what you mean with that sentence anyway... I was just trying to say that i had KDE4 in place and working and then i installed Plasma 5.3 without removing KDE4
