Play DVD automatically with KDE

How do you get a DVD to play automatically under KDE 3.5

In the multimedia settings, I added a ´Play DVD´ option

Selected Video DVD and in the command: xine dvd://

under the command line this would launch xine and play the DVD (except for modern encrypted ones these days - pish  :evil: )

KDE launches a dialog, and then an error pops up (KIOExec) saying: /mnt/cd  is a folder, but a file was expected

Xine´s options have /dev/dvd set as play device, but I assume KDE is re-interpreting things to itś own ends.

Any ideas?

I had similar problem at first, the command i use is xine dvd:///dev/hdd now and it opens auto. Maybe try adding the device, since it seems kde is trying to open wrong thing.
