[mythtv-users] Customizing the Video Browser

I've always loved using my XBox as a media center. However, one thing  
that's irked me recently, is that the best way for me to play back  
videos is to reboot my XBox, and load up XBMC.

I'd much rather be using the MythVideo browser, but it's far less  
intuitive than XBMC. I've set the DVD drive's mount-point to a  
directory in side the root MythVideo directory (I plan to add some  
network locations later). My big problems right now are the auto- 
mounter and the file indexing system.

I'm having a trick and a half getting auto-mount to work, but I'm  
sure I can figure it out. I'm wondering if there's a way to get  
MythVideo to index videos when the disc is mounted, or when the video  
browser is loaded. Anyone else tried this? Any success? Or am I  
better off just rigging a menu item to reboot the XBox on-demand?

     Because of its continued use as a heating duct sealant, duct  
tape now surrounds us. Time and exposure to high temperatures slowly  
breaks duct tape down, and tiny particles drift into ducts where they  
are eventually carried into the air. And so, duct tape is like God.  
It's everywhere.
