Hello all - Having an issue with Xubuntu 16.04.

When I insert a Video DVD they will not auto-mount. I can force the system to mount the DVD by going to VLC and pointing the program to /dev/sr0 and then everything works.

What makes this strange is that Data DVDs and CDs both automount with no issues.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Steve

Video DVDs cannot be mounted like data discs. They don't contain a recognizable filesystem because of CSS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Scramble_System) encryption.

It's a bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1577768

The fix (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/commit/?id=55ad13c26fe5d0e606be5a83937f31b8cf576588) will land in Yakkety very soon, then we'll have to do a SRU (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates) to get it fixed in Xenial.
