[Bug 926976] Re: udev does not create the proper symlinks to /dev/dvd due to the wrong : ENV{ID_PATH} in70-persistent-cd.rules

[Pierre]

I have that problem too.  Gnome-mplayer & mplayer (and vlc) will not
play commercial dvd as it looks for them in /dev/dvd but they are
mounted in /dev/sr0.  My dvd is simply no longer routed to the sr0.
This happens both on my old and new install of Lubuntu 13.10.

So, does Ubuntu no longer support playing commercial videos?  That is a
core function for a PC.


You will not fix it... then how do I fix it at my end?

Bug description:
  I am not sure how long this has been, but trying to watch a movie I noticed I don't have any symlinks to /dev/cd,dvd* pointing to sr0. looking in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules  I noticed that ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:0:0" was the wrong address and a simple change pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0 creates the symlinks.
  (doing udevadm info --query=all --name=sr0 gives the address, but _we_ all know normal everyday working people are not going to know how to do something like that!)
