[mythtv-users] Mounting a DVD iso image - There must be an easierway?

[James Oltman]

It has something to do with the combination of / at the end of the
statement.  My player command is something like:

xine -pfhq --no-splash dvd://%s

I do not have the trailing / and I am not sure if that makes a
difference or not.

Running FC3 2.6.11-35 i believe.
