cable and have my XL1B1 hooked up (<a
href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Sony_XL1B2">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Sony_XL1B2</a>).
According to the wiki there are patches for MythVideo to get some sort of
support for it. Does anyone have these patches? They don't appear to have ever
been submitted to trac.</span></span><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:-webkit-monospace'><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>If not, anyone know how I should start to
implement or who has one of these and would like to lend a hand? Looks like I
need to run a command to scan the DVD inventory, put what I find in the
database, do a bulk imdb lookup of all entries and instead of playing a file
when selected, I need to issue a load command with the appropriate slot number,
then play the dvd in /dev/dvdX. Then I also need a way to do an update scan
when I add more discs to the jukebox. Doesn't sound too hard. :)</span><br>
