Please try loading something up in the dvd player. See if it mounts the disk by opening up thunar. You should see it on the left panel. If you do not try opening up settings manager then desktop then icons and see if you have it checked to show. We need to see if it is actually mounting or not. If all those things are good try opening up disks from the menu then clicking on the gear wheel and edit mount options. Uncheck the automount option then check mount on startup, hit ok then reboot and see if that now mounts things and is seen with vlc. There is a bug with vlc, 4.10 hwe kernel where it plays sound but no video and you will have to change the video output from auto to opengl glx video output (xcb).
