I just installed kodi for the first time.

I have two DVD players, /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1.

/dev/dvd is a symlink to /dev/sr1

vlc is working. "Settings=>Player Settings=>Discs" exists.

If I enter "kodi /dev/sr1", it plays some small clip from the DVD disc.

There is no icon no matter where I put the DVD.

I am using ubuntu 18.04.

$ kodi --version
17.6 Debian package version: 2:17.6+dfsg1-1ubuntu1 Media Center Kodi from Debian

It should be under Music as long as the condition System.HasMediaDVD is true.

the Debian package is not supported here, please try with kodi from our PPAs

New kodi version:
18.1 Git:20190217-8cfdc89 Media Center Kodi

Disc icon is still missing.

How do I track down System.HasMediaDVD?

Thunar detects which DVD is in the player, and can eject, and update the display of the DVD.  So I think udev is working properly.

This is after grepping the log for dvd:
