Doesn't detect or play CDs

Asked by nobody

I'm on Debian Wheezy stable amdx64 and I have exaile version 0.3.2.2 from the repository.

I can play audio CDs in other applications. Exaile doesn't recognize that a CD is mounted, and when I try to open one of the tracks directly from the File menu, absolutely nothing happens. When I start the app from the command line, I get:

INFO : Loading Exaile 0.3.2.2...

Please use the latest version of exaile (3.3.2), as 0.3.2.2 is no longer supported. However, I suspect that it may still be broken.

This has definitely been fixed in trunk. Prior versions of exaile probably didn't work, because nobody uses HAL anymore.

Hmm...should exaile's CD plugin be using some alternative to HAL? I'm still getting this error with the most recent version:

The current released version of exaile does not have udisks 2 support. You need to use the current trunk to get that. There will be a release of Exaile 3.4 very soon, hopefully within a month or so.

Done.
