Here's my problem: I have been running XBMC (and now Kodi) since Frodo on an old laptop with a broken DVD drive, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get Kodi to play from my USB drive. It seems like I was briefly able to right click on the disk in the file menu and run "Play disk" somewhere in Gotham antiquity, but it didn't work on the next update.
I've googled and otherwise searched for literally years now, and I've never seen a good answer for "how do I make Kodi default to /dev/sr1 instead of /dev/dvd (or whatever it defaults to now)?". More recent searches seem to indicate that /dev/dvd is no longer supported by udev, so that's not an answer either.
For now I have to close Kodi and run mplayer to watch a dvd. It works, but I sure would like to stay inside the Kodi world for all my entertainment needs.
If it is a setting in some configuration file, I would be so very grateful to whomever could point it out to me.
