I didn't have this problem in 12.05... so, /dev/dvd is considered obsolete??? and is now removed?!?!? Well, somebody forgot to tell that to all the app developers.
In BETA 14.04 the following are broken due to this *feature*
xine, gxine, (totem) Videos
I didn't test VLC but this bug was orignally entered for vlc.
So, Basically any and every video player in existance is broken by the remove of /dev/dvd
is that really such a good idea??? especially since xine sucks at trying to manually select a disk.
I can get the players to work by creating a symlink to /dev/cdrom, which itself appears to be a link to /dev/sr0
but every time that I reboot the computer I have to recreate the symlink. This is a major headache and 80% of end users will not figure this out, instead they will conclude that Ubuntu won't play DVD's and they should use windows instead.
This should be a death by 1000 cuts item....
Why would anyone ever think that removeing /dev/dvd and breaking all of the video players in existance was actually a good idea?!?!?!?
