[mythtv-users] Mythtv DVD changer integration

Hello all,
 
  I am planning to use the video section of mythtv to
manage my dvd collection in my 400 disc dvd changer. 
I also want the myth system to control the dvd
changer. 

  What I planned was this:

 Put text files in the video section of the hard drive
on the myth system containing the disc number of the
movie.  When the movie is selected instead of running
mplayer, a program will launch which sends ir codes to
the dvd player if it's a DVD movie.  Otherwise it will
launch mplayer with the name of the file.  I'd also
like a program that would intercept IR codes from the
remote and translate them and re-send them to the DVD
player so I can use the myth remote for the dvd
changer.


So, does this seem feasible? And what applications are
out there for lirc to accomplish this?


Thanks for your input,


   Ben Norling
