i've changed fstab to
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd iso9660 noauto,ro,users 0 0
and still it can't detect a dvd in the drive
(xine detects and plays the dvd ok; mplayer does not offer to play a dvd)
ROM_DRIVES: Autodetected and added " ('/mnt/dvd', '/dev/dvd', 'DVD-1')"
Error detecting the disc
and a series of other errors related to can't get its title etc

getting the perl tv_grab-au to run under gentoo took many hours until it ran
into a dead end with the Perl modules, even trying to use deb2targz to get
the required modules installed
i've got further with the python script and can get an xml listing of tv
stations and hope that this works further down the line
as I am going line by line through local_conf.py
