"No Audio CD in drive" error trying to play cd with kaffeine

A screenshot of the error.

I'm having the same problem in Dapper. The only way I can get it to work is:

1. Open Kaffeine
2. Click Audio CD on the "Go!" tab.
3. Click "Cancel" when the error message appears
4. Go to "Open URL"
5. Enter "media:/hdc"

The CD then plays (usually). This is an incredibly annoying problem, and would most definitely turn away new users of Kubuntu.

I can also confirm that 0.8.1 fixes the problem.

Works just fine here. Can somebody confirm the bug is still present in latest Dapper ?

I had the problem with two fully-updated (as of this morning) Kubuntu Dapper installations. Can anybody else confirm?

Marking as Confirmed and Major then. Confirmed because you seem to have two computers and I discussed with an user on IRC today. Seems the same problem. Major, because if Audio CD's are unreadable, it's very bad.

For me, audio CD's are readable, but I have to manually type in the location of the drive. (As I described in the bug).

I am also having the problem on two systems:

System one, I must type in /dev/hdc as described above.
System two has two optical drives, /dev/hdc works fine but /dev/hdd has the error.

Same here - readable audio cds, but i have to type in the location of the cd drive.

The drop down list to choose a drive is empty because kaffeine scans for CD-ROMs by searching for lines with "cdfss" in /etc/fstab

however, on my kubuntu machine they are listed like this:
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

adding
"|| line.contains("iso9660")" or
"|| line.contains("udf")"
to line 46 of drivescombo.cpp solves that small part of the problem. That part of it hasn't been fixed in the latest kaffeine either.

I tried adding "cdfss" to the entry for /dev/hdc in my fstab and my CD drive does now in fact show up in Kaffeine's drop down list. I can now click OK to the message and the CD plays - however, I have to click OK almost every time I play a CD.

I noticed that the address for CD audio in Kaffeine's xine settings is "system:/media/hdc". Could it have something to do with Kaffeine not supporting the system:/ protocol? I tried changing it to "media:/hdc", but it refused to save my change - when I clicked "Apply", closed the settings window, and then checked the setting again, it was back to "system:/media/hdc".

The patch I attached to bug #37131 fixes this problem, too. It only needs to get uploaded.
