 Using MacOS 10.7 (or 10.6)

 MythFrontend will fail to play any DVD

 When selecting the play DVD option in the Optical Menu ; in the log you
 get:
 {{{
 libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access
 libdvdread: Can't stat /dev/r/dev/disk1
 No such file or directory
 libdvdread: Could not open /dev/r/dev/disk1

 programs/mythfrontend/main.cpp automatically prefix the device name with
 /dev/r

 Yet, the default device name it isn't defined by the user is /dev/disk1
 (defined in libs/libmyth/mediamonitor_darwin.h

 The documentation in the settings statea:
 "This device must exist, and the user playing the DVD needs to have read
 permission on the device. 'default' will let the MediaMonitor choose a
 device"

 using "default" does nothing, it uses /dev/disk1 unless defined in the
 settings, and default is /dev/disk1 which myth try to play as
 /dev/r/dev/disk1 which will *always* be an invalid device

 The log also shows:
 MediaMonitor::selectDrivePopup(Select a DVD drive) - No suitable devices

 No such popup ever appears...

 MythFrontend should either automatically determine what the right DVD
 device is, not prepend /dev/r to any path name or properly display the
 selectDrivePopup
