You are right, there seems to be a bug there.  I just tried it in v30.
Mine is still set to /dev/sr0, as it has been for many versions of
MythTV, but when I try to set it to that now using the GUI, it does
not work.  I can not see any sr0 under the /dev folder, and when I
type in /dev/sr0 and use the up arrow to go directly to the OK button,
it reverts to /.  You should probably file a bug report about this.

So you may need to use SQL commands to set it, for now.  In my
database, there are two settings that use /dev/sr0:

MariaDB [mythconverg]> select * from settings where data like '%sr0%';
+------------------------+----------+----------+
| value                  | data     | hostname |
+------------------------+----------+----------+
| MythArchiveDVDLocation | /dev/sr0 | mypvr    |
| DVDDeviceLocation      | /dev/sr0 | mypvr    |
+------------------------+----------+----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Your settings will have different hostnames.  They are per frontend
settings, so there can be different values for each frontend hostname.
If you want to use SQL, this should work:

Find the settings you want to change and the correct hostname:

sudo mysql
use mythconverg;
select * from settings where value='MythArchiveDVDLocation' or
value='DVDDeviceLocation';
quit

Then in the following, substitute the hostname you found for <your
hostname> (twice):

sudo mysql
use mythconverg;
update settings set data='/dev/sr0' where
value='MythArchiveDVDLocation' and hostname='<your hostname>';
update settings set data='/dev/sr0' where value='DVDDeviceLocation'
and hostname='<your hostname>';
# Check that the updates worked.
select * from settings where data like '/dev/sr%';
quit
