Hi,

My myth frontend is built in a "settop box" PC and there is no physical access to the DVD eject button (it is stuck behind the front panel).

The box does have an eject button which emulates the keypress "ctrl-e".

Can anyone suggest a way (via Myth or otherwise) of detecting this keypress and causing an "eject" command to run? ( Pitty there isnt an eject button on the myth menu.)

I am using Xine for DVD playback. It is OK if there is a DVD in the drive to start with as I can map the eject keypress in Xine, but unfortunately if the DVD starts empty then Xine just exits back to Myth.

  Any ideas?

thx,
Dave

not an export on this.. but couldn't you just run irexec in the background and map a key to it from the remote?


this is similar to the "Wife Friendly" feature which restarts the box.
