Kieth Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Is it possible to have the Device Notifier in KDE4 give other options to open/play the various plugins (pen drive), CDs and DVDs (Xine, Amarok, etc.)?

Kieth Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I guess the answer is no. On another forum here they said it wasn't possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 What a shame… I suppose the same is true for Gnome then. Reading your question the first time I saw it, I hoped some answer would give a hint at the cure for this same problem on the Gnome side :( There are so many times when I just wish I could umount/mount the device using the panel. Instead of that, there are only options for playing or ejecting the media, and I end up opening a terminal and running the umount command the old way… Yves.

Kieth Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Today, I tried something. Would you believe that I didn't have to mount the device to play a music CD? I put it in, but the Device Notifier didn't give me any options, as it wasn't mounted. I opened up Xine, pressed the play "CD" button, and. . . music!!

scarecrow Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Would you believe that I didn't have to mount the device to play a music CD? Factly, I wouldn't believe you were able to mount an audioCD. They have just RAW data, without any filesystem and as such they aren't mountable! Mixed mode CD's are a different story, but still the mountable part is the data one, not the audio one, and they aren't RedBook compliant/ true audioCD's. You can only "mount" an audioCD using KDE's or Gnome's virtual filesystem- not a real mount, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
