[mythtv-users] Customizing the Video Browser

[Garth Benedict]

I personally never got automount working for anything on my FC3 system.
Either CD or DVD just does nothing.  Or does nothing but lock the drive shut
in some busy state.  I cannot solve your automatically indexing request, but
my simple solution was to add a Mount/Unmount command to the menu.  Eject as
well.  I use sudo to bypass the permissions...


   <button>
      <type>Mount</type>
      <text>Mount</text>
      <action>EXEC sudo /bin/mount /dev/dvd</action>
   </button>

   <button>
      <type>EJECT</type>
      <text>Eject</text>
      <action>EXEC sudo /usr/bin/eject -T /dev/dvd</action>
   </button>
