Ok I understand now . At the beginning I believe that MEDIATYPE 
describe  the support and not the content .
Can i conclude that mediamonitoring won't make the differents between a 
cd which contain video (avi), mp3 or picture (jpg) and will be consider 
as Data only.
It will be difficult to use media monitoring for mythgallery and 
mythvideo ...

I don't know how to trigger the SCSI emulation device ... but it's true 
, import function for MythVideo/Music/Gallery/Game will become 
necessary. Probably we can do that without a trigger of the scsi 
emulation device.

When i put a cd of data, myth mount the device and say that's not a 
audio cd and not a dvd. but it don't umount the device. Then the unique 
way to tage my cd is to swith from a console and umount the device. I 
don't know where is the feature ... And it's not easy only with a 
remote. then it easier to reboot ...I don't talk about ejecting the 
device but just unlock to allow me to try a other cd.
