Title:
  I am runing linuxMint 17 64bit.  I have install all the cods for
  Acidrip does not exist

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am running Mythbuntu 8.04.

  I have installed all the codecs/CSS packages, but MythTV (or Mplayer/VLC) can't play the DVDs.  I believe that the error is that the programs are looking in /dev/dvd for the DVD and that does not exist on my system.  I know that I need:
  ln -sf /dev/??? /dev/dvd
  but I don't know how to find out the sda/sdb device that corresponds to my DVD drive.

  Also, how do I make the link permanent (survive a reboot)?

  Why isn't a /dev/dvd created when Ubuntu is installed? The media
  players seem to use it.  /dev/cdrom exists on the system and works
  correctly, why can't Ubuntu make a /dev/dvd that goes to the same
  place? Is this something that I should file a bug for?

  Thanks a lot for your help.
