I think, judging from the number of responses, that this is an
area of Myth that could use some "polishing" - as originally
suggested by trejje.
Thanks, everyone, for the ideas regarding my particular
situation. I've tried all of them at some point and I'm still
not able to browse discs, even with the settings suggested by Leo
(which I already had set). I am able to play DVDs in Myth (Xine) and
now, after fiddling with fstab, seem to be able to mount dvd data
discs from the terminal. Do I have to have an auto-mount setup
somehow? If so, will that mess up MythTV when playing normal DVDs
through Xine?
Here's the contents of my fstab:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/store /store ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/video /video ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 noauto,users,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
This is MythTV .16, FC1, and the drive is a DVD +-RW, if that
matters... ;-)
Actually, I just figured out that I don't have mtd running...
maybe its related? However, when I try to get mtd to auto start at
boot (by adding "mtd -d" to the rc.local file), my system
locks up if I put a dvd in.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears! ;-)
Copying is not, but playing is....
Find the general settings for mythvideo. Tag the options:
- Videolist browses files
- Newly scanned files are browsable by default
- Set default view to 'Listings'
[. I posted a patch to make the other views work too, but it has not
been committed yet]
Also enable in the general mythtv settings:
- Monitor CD/DVD
And now things should work. If you insert a dvd with avi's it should be
automatically mounted and you should be able to browse and watch them.
This should be in 0.16 AFAIK, but I cannot check this all my systems are
running CVS at the moment.
Leo.
