How do you change the default action of disc insertion from Totem to VLC? I cannot seem to find it.

Open   ~/.config/Thunar/volmanrc

and change

AutoplayVideoCdCommand = totem %d

to

AutoplayVideoCdCommand = vlc %d

I am building a list of known issues with the 8.10.01 release. Having read the above comments, I would suggest that the current fix for DVD playback is to install VLC:

sudo apt-get install vlc-nox vlc

Once VLC is installed, DVD playback should work without problem as libdvdcss is installed by default.

How do you change the default action of disc insertion from Totem to VLC? I cannot seem to find it.
Also, can you add the latest build of VLC to the repos (0.9.8)?

Thanks,

Ogle is a DVD player with DVD menu support and some other useful
features like bookmarks, time skipping, multichannel audio,
and crop & zoom video and also:
     * Reads encrypted and unencrypted DVDs using libdvdread/libdvdcss.
     * Audio and subpicture selection.
     * Handles advanced subpicture commands such as fade/scroll and wipe.
     * Detects and uses correct aspect for movie and menus.
     * Fullscreen mode.
     * Screenshots with and without subpicture overlay.
     * Title/chapter search.
     * Supports different audio formats: AC-3, MPEG, LPCM (DTS
        only via SP/DIF).

But you must learn many shorcuts to control Ogle. :P

read manpage for more details.

P.S. there is GUI version of Ogle, called Ogle-gui. But it's very ugly gtk+1.2 GUI. :(

Just a note for brjoon1021: VLC is not a GTK app.

So you may or may not want it.

Good point Mystery Member :) If it is any help, efforts are being made to make Qt4 applications look more at home with the default CrunchBang theme, see: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … r-openbox/

So you may or may not want it.

sudo apt-get install vlc-nox vlc

Once VLC is installed, DVD playback should work without problem as libdvdcss is installed by default.

Totem error message

...Just a shot in the dark as I am @ work, but is libdvdcss installed by default?  You may want to check that out...

VLC seems to do well.

:)

I prefer vlc over pretty much every other media player and it works without any problems playing DVDs here.

- Do you have any recommendations for other DVD players ? I have never been a big fan of anything with "totem" in it. I usually rip it out, roots and all, from ubuntu ASAP. I do like the idea of using more or less, native GTK apps in CB Linux, though, so I am hesitant to add lots of stuff like huge libraries, etc... with other movie players. What about VLC or Ogle, are they good choices ? Better recommendation ?

2. When I open synaptic it tells me that I am starting without administrative privileges. I know that I can sudo from terminal, but synaptic used to open with root privileges, I don't know what happened.

Thanks,
