[mythtv-users] Re: DVD's won't play since .17 upgrade

[Chris Ribe]

Sorry to bother you folks, I figured out my problem.   I needed to be
linking /dev/dvd to /dev/hdd, not /media/cdrom1.

That's murphy's law in action right there, struggle with a problem for
3 days, break down and ask the mailing list, discover the solution 20
min later by yourself.

Thanks, 
Chris
