Viewing DVDs from an optical drive on Android
So, here I am, with my Android "smart TV", to which I have connected a DVD reader. The device is recognized by the kernel and appears as /dev/block/sr0, but when I can't seem to figure out how to tell VLC (installed recently from Google Play store) to use the thing.
IOW when I start VLC it just tells me "no media files found" (and indeed, I don't have any videos or music on that machine other than the one in the DVD drive).
I don't see any place where I can "open disk" (as there is on the GNU/Linux version that I'm used to use), the closest is the button that lets me "open network stream", and I tried to tell it to open "dvd:/dev/block/sr0" or "file:///dev/block/sr0" but that just added a "sr0" at the bottom of the screen saying "unknown artist", but if I click on the "play" button, it still doesn't play the disk (it basically doesn't do anything).
Any help?
