changing default programs - davesurrey999 - 06-23-2014 I need to set up LL 2.0 to make it super easy for XP refugees. How can I set the default programs specifically for replaying CDs and DVDs? In Linux Lite I would go to Preferred Apps but in LL this doesn't contain a Removable Media section nor Music or Video categories. As it stands clicking on DVD or CD icon on the desktop doesn't not auto play and getting a DVD to play in VLC is far too complex for our over 60s users. Thanks Re: changing default programs - davesurrey999 - 06-23-2014 I meant to say.. In Linux Mint I would go to Preferred Apps but in LL 2.0.... Re: changing default programs - Scott(0) - 06-28-2014 Hi Davesurrey999. Does this help? At the moment I have no way to test it. Menu > Settings > Settings Manager > Settings window opens Removable Drives and Media > Multimedia Tab Re: changing default programs - davesurrey999 - 06-28-2014 Hi Scott, Thanks for this help Really appreciate it. I found the Removable Drive and Media settings in Menu>Settings>Removable Drives and Media. It allowed me to set a default program but in my test box here it still didn't auto-run a DVD. Will have to try Monday when I have a range of boxes to try to ensure it's not a bad DVD drive I have here. Will report back. Cheers Dave Re: changing default programs - Valtam - 06-28-2014 Sometimes your device is listed in the system as sr0, may pay to check that first and set it accordingly in VLC. Re: changing default programs - davesurrey999 - 06-28-2014 Hi Valtam Yes I have tried that but still doesn't auto-run so I may have a duff drive here. Will test Monday on a range of boxes. Thanks Re: changing default programs - N4RPS - 06-29-2014 Hello! I just stuck a video DVD in, and VLC came up automatically. I clicked the Play icon in VLC, and a screen came up, I clicked on the 'Disc' folder tab, clicked the 'Play' icon inside it, and the DVD started playing. Will have to reboot to try it again... 73 DE N4RPS Rob
