Thanks Bill, <br>
<br>
That got me a little further along. Now the system is erroring out
with a type of media problem. So I tried just playing a dvd with
mythdvd and that does not work so I think my problem keeps getting
more and more confusing. :(<br>

<pre wrap="">Thanks Mario,
The dev directory contains several items /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrom1,
/dev/cdrw1, /dev/dvd, and I think /dev/dvd1. So figuring out which one
to use is confusing because both the cdrom drive and dvd drive are not
being recognized.
I have found some information that I might need to make changes to
the ?etc/fstab file and then I have seen some postings saying you need
to unhide the drive in the ?media directory. What are your thoughts?
thanks again,
Jeff

<pre wrap="">Here is a way to find out what your dvd is mapped to. Use the eject
command. eject with no command line options will open the drive door on
your default drive. If that works, then use eject -d to print the
default device and you will know what its mapped to. If the plain eject
command does not work then use eject <device> to figure out which one
work. There are several other options that will help if you are still stuck.
PS - If you are still having problems, post what version of linux you
are running so we can point you to release specific info.

<pre wrap="">Why not just try:
ls -l /dev/dvd*
Should tell you what's going on with your DVD drives, even multiple ones.

In my case I added a dvd drive after install so none of my symlinks
pointed to the correct device which for some reason was mapped to
/dev/cdrom1. (Maybe because the old drive was cdrom0 even though I
removed it during the upgrade.) In my case your command would not return
the correct info but eject with the actual device name did the trick.
After that I re-linked the standard defines to my device.
