Trouble with Totem and my disk drive

Hi all! I'm currently transitioning myself in from Debian to Arch and I've encountered a weird problem. Arch registers my DVD drive as two seperate drives, reading the "CD" drive when it has one, and the "DVD" drive when it has one. This creates a problem with Totem, as I can't play DVDs since it's only recognizing the "CD" drive within the program.

Might anyone have a solution, or directions toward finding my own?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Trouble with Totem and my disk drive

In your /etc/fstab file, you need to change the value for the DVD type to iso9660. Basically, copy the values from your CD listing:

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