-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Mythtv's frontend application uses a build in function eject to eject the
 media drive. Unfortunetly it looks like there are lots of problems with
 getting this to work if the system automounts. There are a few different
 hacks that people have used to get the eject menu item to work. Both
 involve editing the eject action in /usr/share/mythtv/optical_menu.xml.
 Some users change the action to EXEC umount /dev/dvd; eject, but most
 users seem to be changing this to EXEC eject. The system's eject
 application seems to be a lot more reliable than myth's. Using this line I
 was able to get the eject menu to work. This is a big deal for those of
 use with htpc cases that don't have buttons.



 from optical_menu.xml
