Using DVD protocol without devicename in Firefox

Postby Spellcoder » 20 May 2007 16:40

When playing DVD with VLC you can choose to use the dvd:// protocol but not supply a devicename. This seems very usefull since you can't use Javascript to search for DVD media in a drive (unless you run from an XUL application).

However both the VLC player and plugin take somewhere from 30 seconds to a minute before they finally start playback when not specifying the playback device. The strange thing is the DVD-drive immidiately gets to work when I make VLC play for example dvd://@2.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
