Interesting.  I tried adding a /media/bluray folder and Ubuntu 12.04 does *not* automount into that directory...you must have done something else?
I tried posting in the Ubuntu multimedia forums to see if anyone knows how to force blurays to mount to a specific mount point instead of /media/<volumename> but no replies yet :-P

But I wouldn't have to if the "alternate player" worked until setup/multimedia_settings/player_settings :-P
I already have a script that autodetects the mount and fires up mythavtest.  I put the path to the script in that "alternate player" configuration field.
Yes, I could modify the optical menu.xml to launch it instead, but I *shouldn't* have to :-(
Has anyone been able to get "alternate player" to work?

From how I understand udev to work, you can key off manufacturer IDs of equipment to trigger symlinks.
In this case, I'm inserting a disc into a device which won't trigger a udev rule.
