I am using fedora cinnamon and I need my PC to read DVDs.

For some disks, the file manager can't mount them automatically.

I know the problem isn't from the disks because I can read them by mount them using the command line with 'sudo mount'.

when I tested using pmount seems to solve everything and the mounted disk even shows up in nemo's side bar.

From what I understand nemo uses udisksctl by default; when I use this command on a disk with the auto mount problem:

udisksctl mount -b /dev/sr0

I get

Object /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sr0 is not a mountable filesystem

I get the same output even if I force it to mount it as UDF:

udisksctl mount -b /dev/sr0 --filesystem-type udf

I want to force nemo to mount using pmount. I'm not sure how to do this.

Small, but necessary correction: Nemo does not use udisksctl; it uses GLib to do the mounting, which on your system uses the same mechanism that udisksctl uses (but does not use udisksctl).

While GLib does support other mechanism to mount devices, calling the external program pmount is not among them.

So, I'm afraid you simply can't do that, short of programming your own GLib mount daemon, and that would sound ill-advised.
