Kodi can not eject DVD, but kodi user can - Ferdinarm - 2024-01-20

Complete debug log: https://paste.kodi.tv/akobuyaqat.kodi

I'm on Arch Linux ARM on a Raspberry Pi4 w/8 GB RAM
  • Kernel release: 6.6.12-1-rpi
  • Hardware: aarch64
Installed packages (from the OS, with pacman):
  • kodi-addon-inputstream-adaptive-git 21.3.1.Omega.r3.g7ce06b0a-1
  • kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple 20.13.0-1
  • kodi-rpi-git 21.x.65106.48c4ae548b-1
  • kodi-rpi-git-eventclients 21.x.65106.48c4ae548b-1
  • p8-platform 2.1.0.1-4
  • kodi-addon-inputstream-adaptive-git 21.3.1.Omega.r3.g7ce06b0a-1
  • kodi-addon-pvr-iptvsimple 20.13.0-1

Kodi runs under a normal user account, that is allowed to operate the DVD player device (/dev/cdrom is linked to /dev/sr0).

That is, the kodi user can perform
Code:
$ eject /dev/sr0
and the DVD or CD will be ejected from the player.

If I choose to eject the DVD from Kodi however, nothing happens.
Does anybody know what Kodi actually does, and if it's configurable?
