Indeed, I did not provide you all w/ enough information. I let Debian Stable 5.0 Lenny automount my DVD's and CD's. Which works fine for me.
Considered to Synaptic I've installed autofs 5.0.3-3. Is that a good or a bad thing? In my /etc/fstab I've configured my dvd-drive as follows: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,auto 0 0 Is that good or bad? In /etc/freevo/local_conf.py I commented out my old ROM_DRIVES parameter I've set in the past, so to let Freevo do it automatically. This worked just fine in Freevo 1.8.3. I've set the other parameters as follows (and tried to modify them w/ no result): ROM_DRIVES_AUTOFS = True ROM_DRIVES = None What actually happens when I insert a DVD is as follows. If I fiddle a bit w/ inserting and ejecting the DVD and restarting Freevo until it will show up in Freevo's Movie menu. Strangely, it also shows up in the Audio menu. So Freevo does not seem to realize that it is a Video DVD. When I press Enter on my "Gladiator" DVD (for example) in the Movie menu, Freevo does not start Xine to play the DVD, but I see the video_ts and audio_ts folders instead. Strange isn't it? And when I enter those directories and press Enter on one of the VOB's then my computer hangs. When I try to play the DVD outside of Freevo it works just fine w/ Xine.
