[mythtv-users] Autoplay of inserted CDs and DVDs

[Albert Santoni]

If you want to make a DVD/SVCD menu in MythTV, check out this thread:

That's what I use.... In 0.8 I even got some icons in place and
everything... looked really good.
Oh, and since MythVideo already uses Mplayer, why isn't this DVD/SVCD menu a
standard part of MythVideo?

Thanks.
