Likewise with DVDs. They're a disc with files on it, that are read as a file, so they need to be mounted. Compact audio discs, on the other hand, are not. It's a bitstream, and the player just has to find the right part to start playing from (what the TOC provides as to how far into the disc). Of course a DVD/Bluray player could do its own tricks at looking at the optical device it normally uses, and if it isn't mounted trigger a mount, then try dealing with it. But that seems like a lot of faffing around, the usual behaviour for inserting a disc is that the desktop automounts it. Another gotcha can be a hybrid disc, where it's not just dual-layer, but the different layers are different things (e.g. one's a DVD, another's a bluray, or audio disc). My standalone bluray has options to handle that. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
