Cannot access optical drive

Hi, I am just wondering, how can I set my Arch to access CD/DVD drive? I have already done this:

# sudo gpasswd -a sdoky optical
# sudo gpasswd -a sdoky audio

it helped for the audio, I couldn't play any audio before this command was executed. However it does not help with accessing the CD/DVD drive.

Can you please help me?

Thanks

PS: I have rebooted the machine since then, doesn't make any change at that point.

Does that output something like users audio optical?

looks like you need to add 'video'.

Re: Cannot access optical drive

By the way, how are you trying to access your optical drive? Is a program or the shell spitting out permission errors? Is it a simple matter of using the correct device node (/dev/sr0) ?
