Sounds like you've tweaked your keybindings.  Is there some way and/or 
documentation to do this other than MythWeb?  It seems awfully 
heavyweight to install Apache, php, and such, just to do what's normally 
done with a plaintext file.

Next question... How to you map 2 actions (CLEAROSD+another) to a single 
key?

A few moments later...
I have a cron job that backs up my database nightly, and there's a 
keybinding table in there, with an entry for your "jumptodvdrootmenu", 
and it's currently unmapped.  I suppose it's either install MythWeb, 
find another way to configure, or write some MySQL.  Incidentally:
INSERT INTO `keybindings` (`context`, `action`, `description`, 
`keylist`, `hostname`)
VALUES
('TV Playback','JUMPTODVDROOTMENU','Jump to the DVD Root 
Menu','','xxxxxxxx')
Looks like it needs to be done on a per-host basis.
