Before I post on the -dev mailing list, one thing I
discovered/remembered recently. I have to be root to be able to play
back the DVD when using mplayer and I have never really worked out how
to make a normal user play DVDs. Mythfrontend runs under the user
"piers" so maybe if I can make the user "piers" to be able to play DVDs
it might fix my problem? Although I haven't had any problems running
mplayer to play DVDs as piers before the upgrade...
This is the information I obtained from the database:
DVDDeviceLocation - /misc/cd
DVDOnInsertDVD - 1
DVDPlayerCommand -
/usr/local/bin/mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device %d -fs -zoom -vo xv -slang en
DVDRipLocation - /var/lib/mythdvd/temp
Thanks very much for your help again!
Cheers - Piers
