Hi
I am loading a CD with a video on it. Nothing happens. The device notifier does not even do anything. I have tried several things with the device notifier or CD player but no luck at all.
Any clue?
thanks

Did you enable automounting in device notifier settings? And in device actions, is it set up to open a video file with and app? Does device notifier do anything if you plug a flash drive into a USB port?
I think I did enable automounting indeed. In device actions there a lot of actions and it is not clear how to set up that one for a data CD (I just wish to open it with the file manager).
When I plug a flash USB drive, it works well.
Can you either take a picture of the options/actions with a digital camera (or do a screen print) and upload to ImageBam and share here the picture so that we can see the options/actions?
Does the cd show in Places?
Is the CD made in windows? Is it a closed CD? What software was used to burn it?
did it work before you moved to KDE4.5.2?
if so, you may need to file a bug…

Define ‘nothing’. Is the volume mounted and visible in /media ?
If it is, I’d say it’s working the way $DEITY intended: mount the inserted
media, don’t make pointless announcements to the user (who allready knows
about it, having just inserted the damn medium in the first place).
If not, you do have a problem.

ok; thanks for the feebdack.
I have downloaded 3 snapshots of my device notifier setup:

When I write “nothing happens” it really means nothing. It spins for a few sec and it does not show up in /media or anywhere else. The /var/log/messages still noticed something as:

Looks like it does see this as blank. Jave tried on a windows OS (my other PC) and it works fine.

works fine on your other pc because the other has no hardware error?

DOH!
You don’t say
You didn’t answer my questions. Here is my way to work through the issue.
Copy the .wmv files to a usb pen drive
Can you play them.
Burn them to a data cd/dvd with k3b - does it work
That looks interesting. … You could select the file manager open option, navigate to the wmv and play it with mplayer or vlc or xine or what ever media player you use.
It appears you use Gnome. I’m not familiar with Gnome. So I’ll back off now after that suggestion and let the Gnome experts chime in.
nope I am not using Gnome but KDE 4.5 in fact.
I cannot use the file manager because the CD does not even show up… I don’t see it in /media and anywhere… DVDs seem to work. I should try another CD maybe. Putting the files on a USB does work too.
It won’t show up in /media so don’t waste your time looking for it there.
But I do see it in the dialog box you posted. … at least I think I see it there.
nope, the CD does not show up anywhere… And I still haven’t a clue why.
Made in windows by some cr a py burning software ? Don’t even get me started on .wmv
probably. BUt it works when I load it in a Windows machine 
(don’t get me started there… I hate windows but I still have to use it now and then via wine or vmware)
still a mystery but of course not critical since I can access the files getting the CD into an old PC + Fedora 11… :-))
thanks for the help anyway
