Automount DVD

[Thommy]

I use Retropie and Kodi to watch a DVD via a USB DVD drive. To mount the DVD i use a terminal and ssh connection on my Macbook "mount /dev/sr0 /media" and its work. Unfortunately it is very complicated, is there a possibility that the USB DVD drive is automatically mount?

thx and cya Thommy

Can you locate the mountpoint?
Ususally the automount feature is active so the loaction should be /media/usb0

Sorry, I am new to the Linux world. The mount with the command "sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media" works, but only manually.
It would be nice if the Raspi when inserting a DVD or the connection of the DVD drive mount it automatically.

Thanks for your help and cya Thommy

Here is a fine instruction that should work

2nd possibility

RetroPie is capable of running a script on autostart ... edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh. There you can set your sudo moundcommand but be aware: Changes in the the es launch script will get overwritten on upgrade.

I haven't tried it but this might work:

They're just adding a line to the /etc/fstab

Sorry for my late reply. I have insert the line

/dev/sr0 /media/dvd auto defaults,nofail,x-systemd.automount 0 2

And the DVD ist mount at the bootup. But if i change the DVD disc it will not automatically mount the new disc ;(

Thx for your help, cya
