Adding actions to the Storage and Media mime types

Hello all,

I would like to change the default DVD Video playback application. It is now
set to play it with Kaffeine, but I prefer Xine.

When I go to the Peripherals --> Storage and Media in KControl, and I try to
add Play with Xine to the DVD Video Disk mime type, it does show up, but
claimes it is expecting a file (not /dev/cdrom0, which is a directory).

The strange thing is: when I put the following in the console:

xine --auto-scan dvd -p=fh

it works perfectly!

What am I doing wrong?

Is there an HOWTO to follow?
