[mythtv-users] import DVD is not working

Hi -

I did the recent "big" Fedora 9 update, and since then, the mythfrontend
"Import DVD" is not working.

Any ideas?

I haven't figured out where/how mtd communicates with the front end.

Details:

I am running with kernel 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686, since there has not yet
been a matching nvidia livna rpm updated for the 2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686
kernel.

I *was* having failures playing the DVD (via xine and mythtv), I was
getting IO errors for the DVD device. I rebooted (with a power off in
between for good measure) and those errors have gone away, and now xine
and mythfrontend can both play the DVD.

The mtd starts, and I get the frontend "waiting for DVD" message, but
nothing else. All other myth features seem to be working fine.

I'm running from svn 0.21 source, I just updated, built and re-installed
it, but no change.

I don't see anything notable in "mythfrontend -v all" output.

There are no errors (now) from the kernel.

mtd sees the DVD, per this logging:
