Bug Description

I insert video DVD (non encryption) disc - in is automatically mounted and accessable via standard /dev/dvd, /dev//sr0, ...

But when I run Totem, there is no "Play Disc" in "Movie" menu.

"Eject" is also grayed out, ...

Simply - Totem ignores my DVD as would not exist.

in my case /dev/dvd does not exist so maybe it's good idea to make slink like ln -s /dev/sr0 dev/dvd

Using Ubuntu 12.04 x64...
- The "Eject" option under "Movie" menu option is grayed out.
- The "Play Disk" option is simply missing.

In new interface "Play/Pause" is in main drop-down menu
and "Eject" is in the hamburger menu.

Checked with totem 3.32.0 and Ubuntu 19.10 (dev)

Closing as bug report refers to the old interface and there are
no comments re the new interface which was introduced several
years ago.
