MediaCD

The access handler for media on CD / DVD drives.

  • Url Scheme:
  • cd: Requires a drive supporting CD media.
  • dvd: Prefers a drive supporting DVD media.
  • Examples:
cd:/
cd:/?devices=/dev/hda,/dev/hdb
cd:/subdir?devices=/dev/hda,/dev/hdb

dvd:/
dvd:/?devices=/dev/hda,/dev/hdb
dvd:/subdir?devices=/dev/hda,/dev/hdb

Note: You can use either "dvd:/" (just path, no authority) or "dvd:///" (path and empty authority).

  • Query parameters:
  • devices: Optional parameter, containing a comma separated list of block device names to use, e.g.: "/dev/sr0,/dev/sr1".

The device names will be verified using a HAL query. If one of the provided devices is not usable (not a block device, or does not support required media type), an exception is thrown.
If the devices parameter is not provided (or empty), all avaliable CD/DVD drives 'detected' using a HAL query. The preferred drive (used as first drive) is the drive pointed to by the symlink "/dev/dvd" ("dvd" scheme only) or "/dev/cdrom".

  • Authority: A non-empty authority URL component (e.g. containing a host name) is not allowed.
  • Path name: Mandatory URL component, that specifies a subdirectory where the desired files are located

on the CD.
