[Solved] DVD/Blu-Ray Burner Mounting Issues in Gnome

I just noticed today that when I insert blank media into my DVD and Blu-Ray burner drives it is not recognized in nautilus, and all other removable drives also become hidden, and only return after a reboot.  Both drives work fine in Windows 8.1.  This is also replicated on my laptop which also runs Arch and dual boots with Windows 8.1. 

Gnome's disk utility on both shows that the media is blank after it is inserted, but Bracero does not read the media or recognize the drive. 

I know it's not hardware related, and I also burned a few ISOs to DVD recently, so I'm not sure if this is a bug or if anyone else has similar issues and/or a fix.  Does anyone have similar issues in KDE?  I use Arch 99% of the time, and have no want to boot into Windows if I don't have to. 

Anybody got any ideas or comments?  Thanks.

EDIT: The drives work fine when non-blank media is inserted.

Thanks for that link.  It said that error can be fixed by installing libbluray-git from the AUR. I can confirm that it works too.
