You could do this with irexec. Assign a button the would copy the file. If there is a way to get the currently highlighted selection from the frontend, it would be easy. If not, you could cook up something like so:

Assume mplayer is currently playing the file, you have irexec run a script something like so: (this is pseudo-code)

#!/bin/sh

CURRENT_FILE=`ps ax | grep mplayer | cut "-d " -f10` # something like that
cp "$CURRENT_FILE" /myth/video


As I said, that's pseudo-code. You'd have to adjust the -f10 parameter, possible the "-d " parameter too.

This might not be what you want, but if you place a symlink of the dvd in the video directory, and use submount to mount your dvd, then whenever you insert a data dvd, cdrom or whatever, you will be able to see them in the list of movies.
You will not be able to copy them to the HD, but you can watch them.

| If I may interject... I am SOOOoooo looking for this feature too. Basically, I have a whole bunch of data DVDs with various stuff archived on them (shows, movies, clips, etc). Currently, I load them onto my MythTV box by inserting them into my Mac and copying them over the network. Of course, the WAF for this is very low. I would love to be able to insert one of these DVDs in the drive of my Myth box and navigate the directories to play the files directly from MythVideo.
