[mythtv-users] Playing VCDs

I have quite a few Video CDs, so I just added a menu option in the 
MythVideo menu to launch Xine.  It was easy to do and works quite 
well.  I just thought I'd share.

1) Grab xine and xine-ui packages from http://xinehq.de/ and install.

2) Add this button definition to videomenu.xml (in 
/usr/local/share/mythtv):

   <button>
     <type>VIDEO_MANAGER</type>
     <text>Play VCD</text>
     <action>EXEC xine -g -f vcd://1</action>
   </button>
