Package: parole
Version: 0.5.4-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I was unable to play DVDs using parole although there was no problem playing them with
gnome-mplayer, xine, gxine, totem or xbmc. I have installed:
    ii  libdvdcss2                     1.2.13-0

Opening locations such as /dev/dvd did not work and left parole stuck.

The solution from: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=7351.0 , to enter
the Media -> Open Location as dvd://  worked and parole plays DVDs fine this way.

This was not obvious and I think it would be easier to use parole for DVDs if there was
an option to select DVD as xine has, for example.
