On a single computer, after an upgrade to udisks2-2.7.5-1-x86_64 (from udisks2-2.7.4-1-x86_64) I have had problems with the recognition of certain devices when hot-plugged. In the case of external drives, the drives did not appear in my filemanager (Caja in my case) but they did appear in lsblk and I was able to subsequently mount them manually. In the case of an inserted DVD it didn't appear in the filemanager and could not be manually mounted. In either case, the behavior did not occur if the computer was rebooted with the media already inserted.
Downgrading to udisks2-2.7.4-1-x86_64 corrected the problem on this machine.
On another computer with different hardware but essentially the same OS and configuration I have not yet experienced the issue.
There have been no BIOs changes on either machine.
The machine having the problem has a Crosshair IV mother board with a Ryzen 7 processor.
How can I further troubleshoot this problem?

I too may be having the same problem.
I am running KDE and when I put a DVD in the drive it usually, not always, does not trigger a notice in the Device Notifier. While doing the Google for a solution, I found a way to force it to recognize the disc and trigger a notification:
cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 -checkdrive (where sr0 is probably your DVD drive)
I upgraded udisks from udisks2-2.7.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz to udisks2-2.7.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz on 2017-12-27. Haven't been doing any DVD stuff until today when I noticed this annoying behaviour.
I will try downgrading to 2.7.4 and see what happens.

There seems to be something wrong with udisks2. When I restart the service
$ sudo systemctl restart udisks2.service
the dvd is recognized immediately and I get a device notice.
I tried downgrading to 2.7.4 and I get the same problem.
The apparent fix that herOldMan found may be because the service is restarted when the downgrade is completed (?)

With my 2.7.4 downgrade, udisks2 is started (and verified to be running) at boot and when I hot-plug my external drive it appears as a device.
