I have a Ubuntu 14.04 m/c acting as a PVR server and general media source. It has Kodi running on it, and a DVD ROM that is shared using SMB (//PVR-1/DVD). The DVD is set to auto-mount in fstab.
Various other machines - Windows, Ubuntu 14.04, Android - also run Kodi, mainly V17.3.
On the PVR-1 server, the DVD plays normally - the 'Play disc' menu turns up etc.
However, when I try to run it on a remote Kodi, having set up a video source by browsing to the DVD share, get the context menu and click 'Play', it doesn't. Usually it does nothing, although in the case of an Android one, sometimes Kodi crashes.
But here's the thing: If I load a DVD, and start playing it - just for a second or two - on the local Kodi. Then when I go to a remote Kodi, it will play fine. However once the DVD is ejected and reloaded, same happens again (until a short local play).
I have tried explicitly mounting it, but Ubuntu merely says it is mounted already.
Here's a Kodi log section:
Can anyone suggest what I need to do?
