Appreciate the speedy reply,Broni,and apologise for not being able to
do the same.
Of the four recommendations that you mentioned in your last post,I
opted to begin with the last,namely,the Primary/Secondary Channel
Uninstall.This appears to have solved the "problem"!Let me explain!
Prior to the sudden appearance of my video player problem,I would
insert a disc into either of my two drives and VLC would automatically
open and play the disc without any problems whatsoever.After the
problem appeared,however,VLC would still open automatically but
wouldn't play discs and would give the error message mentioned in my
initial post.
What's happening now - post Primary/Secondary Channel Uninstall - is
exactly the same.I'm still getting the same VLC error message upon disc
insertion but - and I came across this purely by accident - by going
into VLC's task bar > Media > Open Disc > Disc Device F:\,
DISCS WILL PLAY!Result!!
The important point here is that I had to change the Disc Device manually
before VLC would play.Shouldn't VLC be able to see the drive in which the
disc is inserted and then adjust the Disc Device automatically rather than
my having to do this manually!?Is this a configuration or settings issue?
Would appreciate your feedback as to how I might go about correcting this.
As I mentioned above,this is very different from how VLC used to open and
this is what threw me.
Anyway,sorry for rambling on and many thanks for your help and advice,Broni.
Many Thanks
