When you said "it will require more work", I just wanted to know if it was developer work, or end user work... > With the patch freevo at least detects the drive.

The main reason you might have problems with that, is that we have to use Linux ioctl's to identify the media; so if there are BSD equivelants for those, we can add them. i.e. CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS=0x5326 CDSL_CURRENT=( (int ) ( ~ 0 >> 1 ) ) CDS_DISC_OK=4 CDROM_DISC_STATUS=0x5327 CDS_AUDIO=100 CDS_MIXED=105 CDROM_SELECT_SPEED=0x5322 Those are the Linux IOCTL's for certain types of CDs. They're taken from cdrom.py (in Python) which may also exist for the BSDs; as for the audio CDs, we have to read the TOC from the drive so we can do a CD lookup; this is done via a C Python module; it would also need an equivelant. If there is a CDROM.py for FreeBSD, is should also have an ioctl for eject; under linux it's an ioctl to '0x5309' > Thanks for the quick response! No problem... I'm always happy to avoid platform-ness, since I don't exactly use Linux-only myself; it's always annoying porting things to my Mac because of the Linux-isms...
