Make VLC the Default Media Player

[ernieg92]

Is there a way to set VLC to play as the default player for DVD movies? I've added it to the list of applications under "kcontrol" --> "Peripherals" --> "Storage Media" --> "Notifications" but when I select it, I get the following error:

Error - KIO Exec
/media/cdrom1 is a folder but a file was expected

For the command ("Properties" when clicking on VLC under "Notifications") I have "vlc dvd://" (without quotes).

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here

wxvlc dvd:// %u

did the trick.

Hmm - and smplayer (mplayer frontend):

smplayer /dev/dvd %u

Yup, that was it. Didn't know I needed a "wx" in front of vlc. Thanks!
