Context menu on the source does give me a "play" option, but it doesn't do anything! It obviously just identifies it as a network source rather than as an optical drive.

I'm running LE 7.90.009 on a Raspberry Pi 3. I'm wondering if it's possible for it to play DVDs from the optical drive of my Windows 10 PC.
Of course, I could buy an external optical drive and plug it directly into the RPi, and there are all sorts of ripping options, but I thought I'd explore this possibility first.
The PC is a desktop Windows 10 device. The RPi can read video files from the PC's hard drive quite easily: I've got HaneWin running on the PC and it creates NFS exports which are mounted on the RPi. I can create an exported NFS folder for the internal optical drive, and the RPi can see that, but it doesn't recognise that it *is* an optical drive, or give me any option to play a disk that I put in it (or at least not as far as I can see).
Is there a way to make this work?
