Title:
  Can't play dvd (no /dev/dvd available)

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  UPDATED DESCRIPTION:
  ####################
  I have two optical drives, a CD/RW drive and a DVD drive. 

  In /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules the CD/RW-drive is binded
  as /dev/cdrw and /dev/cdrom in and the DVD-drive is binded as cdrom1
  and dvd1 - even though there's only one DVD drive. This causes
  programs, for example Kaffeine, to fail play DVD's from the DVD drive.

  So changing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules to mount CDRW to
  cdrw and cdrom1 and DVD to cdrom and dvd thigs started working again.

  It think this has nothing to do with Kaffeine so I'll try to change
  the description etc in this bug report respectively...


  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
  ########################
  Kubuntu 9.10 with medibuntu, partners & backports activated, upgraded. I installed Kaffeine (as Dragonplayer's a bit limited..) to play DVD:s, but it won't work:

  start kaffeine
  press 'play DVD'.
  stdout gives me:

  gs at utberg:/dev$ kaffeine
  gs at utberg:/dev$ libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1.1.16.3 from http://xine.sf.net
  libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.
  libdvdread: Can't stat /dev/dvd
  No such file or directory
  libdvdnav: vm: faild to open/read the DVD
  libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1.1.16.3 from http://xine.sf.net
  libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.
  libdvdread: Can't stat /dev/dvd
  No such file or directory
  libdvdnav: vm: faild to open/read the DVD

  and I get a popup telling me "Cannot find input plugin for MRL
  [dvd:/]"

  /dev/dvd doesn't exist. I can create it manually but it won't help
  much as I don't know how to make DVD appear there.. Also Kaffeine
  doesn't have the settings menu item there -> I don't know how to tell
  Xine to look for /dev/scd0..
