kaffeine not playing dvds

So I am trying to get my computer to play dvds.  I have installed everything relating to dvds possible I am pretty sure.  I put the dvd in, and it appears on my desktop.  I click play DVD on the kaffeine player menu and it comes back with an error saying: The source can't be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g. no disc in drive). (///dev/sr0).  I notice that my dvd is actually mounted at /mnt/cdrom and is called /dev/cdrom.  What am I doing wrong??  Thanks!

Re: kaffeine not playing dvds

Look for these lines in /etc/fstab and comment them :

/dev/cdrom             /mnt/cd   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd               /mnt/dvd  udf       ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

Also make sure hal is installed and started in the daemons line in /etc/rc.conf
