I had to mess about with a UDEV rule to have my BD reader mounted in a
static dir instead of /media/<DiskLabel>.


The file to mess with in xbuntu would be
“/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules”


 The line I added to that file looks like this, for my system. For
reference:

SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*",
ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="PIONEER_BD-RW_BDR-207_FFFFEEF0BD0FFDF011153FF-0:0",
ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="udf", SYMLINK+="bdr1", ENV{GENERATED}="1",
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL_ENC}="bdreader"


 The values of ENV{ID_SERIAL}, SYMLINK and ENV{ID_FS_LABEL_ENC} should
reflect your BD readers name/serial and the directory's of your choosing,
of course.


 Then set Mythtv to use that Dir instead.


 Hope that of some help.


Kris.
