I have an Xubuntu 17.10 machine and can't get DVDs to autoplay. I gave up on Parole as a player: it won't auto-install the codecs it needs and installing all I thought I needed manually didn't help. So, I installed VLC and it will play DVDs, but I'm trying to get it to autoplay when a DVD is inserted. How do I do this?

- Most add-ons for Thunar are part of the
xfce4-goodiesgroup, and if you downloaded it, then consider that all add-ons are already installed.
install
sudo apt install thunar-volman
Configuration https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Thunar
- Settings -> Removable Media -> Multimedia -> Videodisks
/usr/bin/vlc --fullscreen dvd:///dev/srX
where srX - DVD drive

The command to run VLC was exactly right and thank you for adding the the full screen argument so I didn't have to look that up. – djoyce Feb 20 '18 at 21:12
