[mythtv-users] Autoplay of inserted CDs and DVDs

[Tako Schotanus]

I thought the same when a couple of weeks ago played around with Freevo, 
popped in my Matrix CD and it just started playing it without having to 
do anything (*wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* ;-). But because that was on 
a 14" monitor and not on my large TV screen I didn't think much of it. 
But at least it looked very good on 14".

But then again maybe we have the same Pioneer player (DV-505)  and are 
just used to the same horrible output ;-)
(not saying that it has horrible output, but either the Linux output is 
good or the Pioneer's output is bad, can't be both =)
