Bug Description
unable to play a dvd using kaffeine and two drive drives in one desktop
I have two DVD drives in my desktop.
Dvd drive #2 can play DVDs while dvd drive #1 can't unless I manually change the xine engine setting but then dvd drive #2 can't anymore
Is there any way to get two DVD drives to play a DVD in the same desktop using one xine engine setting?
using xine engine setting /dev/scd0 dvd drive #1 works but dvd drive #2 does not work
using xine engine setting /dev/scd1 dvd drive #2 works but dvd drive #1 does not work
my initial configuration was /dev/dvd dvd drive #2 works but dvd drive #1 does not work
so it seems using xine engine setting /dev/dvd is the same as xine engine setting /dev/scd1 at least in my desktop with two dvd drives.
until there is a fix for this, I'll keep using /dev/scd0 for my xine engine setting for the primary dvd drive that I want to use

This is more a usage question than a real bug, so I'm converting it.
The /dev/dvd symlink is created by udev. Which of your drives is set to 'dev/dvd/' seems rather random to me, so you might want to look into the udev rules to find out more about this.
xine itself does not seem to handle the case of multiple dvd players at all.
