    Open with VLC

    How could I create an entry "Open with VLC" in the device action list (in the System Tray)?

    I tried in the "System configuration", but could not find out how...

      I don't know of any way to put this in the system tray. How you you envision this would work?

      To make VLC the default application for a file type: Right click on the file type you want associated with VLC, select "Properties" then "File Type Options." Under "Application Order" select "Add" and choose VLC from your menu. Before you close it, move VLC to the top (if it's not already) of the list and click OK.

      VLC should now the the left-click default and the first in the list of right-click options.

      EDIT: I re-read your post: I think you mean when you insert a DVD or VideoCD you want "Play with VLC" as an option in Device Notifier (not really the same as the System Tray)? You should have that already from when you installed VLC. Maybe the VLC installer isn't ready for plasma 5. Anyway: ronw is right, it's in device actions.

        Solid Actions aka KDE4 vs KF5

        The KDE is using solid actions to make the device actions (Open with...)

        The KDE4 solid actions path was : /usr/share/kde4/apps/solid/actions/



        With the KF5 the path should be: /usr/share/solid/actions/



        Sadly all/most of applications are still installing the solid actions for the KDE4.

        That is - when inserting a DVD there is only the 'open with file manger'.




        Workaround

        Copy the solid actions to the right place - either to the /usr/share/solid/actions/ or to the ~/.local/share/solid/actions/.


        Copying the whole /solid/actions/ to the home directory.

        Executing the:
        Code:
         kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental
        Reboot.

        Testing.



        Seems to work...
