Ok, so as I understand it, the option has gone. Fair enough.

(But the help for the playing options field in Setup|Media
Settings|Videos Settings|General needs to be changed so it no longer
says "Media monitoring should be turned on to allow this feature (Setup
-> General -> CD/DVD Monitor)."

But presumably the option to play a DVD in Setup|Media Settings|Videos
Settings|General should work?

It doesn't for me.

The frontend log says:

Sep 25 19:50:39 mythbrind mythfrontend.real: mythfrontend[2063]: E
Monitor mythmedia.cpp:168 (performMountCmd) Failed to mount /dev/sr0.

Ubuntu settings has "Removable Media" for DVD video set to "Do nothing"
(and there is no visual prompt from anything to play the DVD).

Media Settings|Video Settings|Player Settings has default and DVD
players set to Internal Player. "DVD drive" is set to /dev/sr0.

When I manually start playing the DVD from the Optical Drives menu it
plays fine. Doing M|Playback|Playback data shows it is using "//dev/sr0".

Any ideas on what has gone wrong, or some setting that is incorrect? Is
that double slash significant somehow, given other references show a
single slash?
