Hello,
In GNOME in general as of today it is not very easy to discover how
to play an audio CD or a DVD. Of course the CD/DVD will start playing
when you insert it in the drive, but if the media was already in the
computer when you booted it, nothing will happen and the user must eject
the media and reinsert it to let the computer play it.
Hence this patch that adds "Play CD" or "Play DVD" on the
right-click on a volume if that volume is a CD or a DVD. Actually this
responds to a bug where the original requester asked for playing the
CD/DVD on left click (open), while I simply added the action on the
right-click menu, the choice left-click action or right-click menu is open.
The patch is at:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149224
As noted in the bugzilla, it is related to the patch
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308388 to the drivemount
applet, also allowing to discover easier how to play a CD/DVD (showing
"Play CD/DVD" for CD/DVD media, instead of "Open", which opens nautilus).
For both patches, there is some code duplication with
gnome-volume-manager, but I don't know another way. The patch for
nautilus was initially written on 2.10 then ported to CVS by
copy-pasting, but I didn't try it on 2.11 because I don't have the
dependencies to build it. However I'm convinced it'll work on 2.11 too,
nothing that seemed relevant changed.
