Handbrake 1.3.1 Flatpak does not detect or list disk drives

Description of problem or question:
Handbrake 1.3.1 GUI, Flatpak version installed on Linux Mint 19.3, XFCE 64-bit version -- "Open Source" button opens window, but "Detected DVD devices" drop-down menu includes only "Not Selected," while normally /dev/sr0 (SATA disk drive installed in desktop computer) and /dev/sr1 (external USB CD/DVD drive) are detected and listed, and can be opened as source when using older Handbrake 1.1.0 from Ubuntu repositories.



Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
1. Put DVD in CD/DVD drive (automounts)
2. Click "Open Source" button in Handbrake 1.3.1 GUI
3. In source-selection window, under "Detected DVD devices," no device appears
4. In same window, find VIDEO_TS file of mounted DVD and attempt to select and open it ("no title found")
5. Unmount DVD, attempt steps 2 & 3 above to see if DVD drive is now detected and listed (it is not)



HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
Handbrake 1.3.1, Flatpak version installed using the Linux Mint Software Manager (which has built-in Flatpak support)



Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Linux Mint 19.3 XFCE edition, based on Ubuntu 18.04

Since handbrake has no decryption capability, giving it special access to optical disks is a moot point.

I don't believe that this homemade DVD is encrypted. Is there a way to tell whether it is or not, or whether that is the problem? Thanks.

A non-Flatpak older version of Handbrake (1.1.0), both detects the available DVD drives, and loads their contents using the "Open Source" button or function.

To access optical discs, the flatpak needs full device access. By default, I set as restrictive permissions as possible on the package. You can override this with the "flatpak override" command. I think this is sufficient

Code: Select all

flatpak override --device=all org.handbrake.ghb

Thank you John for your reply and help. I issued the following command--

Code: Select all

sudo flatpak override --device=all org.handbrake.ghb
--and it did create a file in/var/lib/flatpak/overrides/org.handbrake.ghb, the content of which is--

Code: Select all

[Context]
devices=all;
Then I launched handbrake, but that command and file did not change the issue (no DVD drives were detected or listed to open as source). I rebooted the computer and tried again, with the same result, and then modified the command you suggested as follows--

Code: Select all

sudo flatpak override --device=all fr.handbrake.ghb
--because the app was installed by the Linux Mint Software Manager as fr.handbrake.ghb, but still there was no effect. The command to launch Handbrake in my XFCE menu is--

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=ghb --file-forwarding fr.handbrake.ghb @@ %f @@
So the issue persists so far.

Activity log after launching Handbrake and using the Open Source button which opens its own window (no CD/DVD drives were detected or listed).

ah, right, "fr.handbrake.ghb" is the correct package name. I'm not sure why it still doesn't see the DVD device. I'll have to do some digging...
