[mythtv-users] mythDVD ?

[Jason Ramey]

Here's what I use to play DVDs and SVCD/VCDs. I added these buttons to
videomenu.xml:

----snip-----
   <button>
     <type>DVD</type>
     <text>DVD</text>
     <action>EXEC mythdvd</action>
   </button>

   <button>
     <type>SVCD</type>
     <text>SVCD</text>
     <action>EXEC mythsvcd</action>
   </button>
----snip----

Then I created these bash scripts and placed them in /usr/local/bin:

mythdvd
----snip----
#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0.0
/usr/local/bin/mplayer -fs -nolirc -zoom -quiet -dvd 1
----snip----

mythsvcd
----snip----
#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0.0
/usr/local/bin/mplayer -fs -nolirc -zoom -quiet -vcd 2
----snip----

These mplayer commands should work as is, with the possible exception of
location of mplayer and the numbers at end. YMMV. I've also created
little icons for them, and worked out the placement of them in the menu.
I think they blend well with the existing icons. If interested, feel
free to email me for a copy of them.

The official party line up to now has been is "go ahead, nobody is
stopping you". If you just want a button to play your DVD it doesn't
have to be very difficult either because you can add your own buttons to
the menus by changing the corresponding XML files, but making it a full
fledged plug-in with imdb support will of course take a lot more work.
