Just add a symlink to your cd/dvd drive in your video folder and browse
it via mythvideo. You need to set the option to use a "browses files"
view in mythvideo settings (and of course use a view for which the
option is set), then you can browse your drive just like any other
directory in your videos dir.
The good thing is that now (since 0.18 or 0.18.1?) mythvideo can remove
orphaned db entries if the file is removed through means other then
myth, even if you run the Video Manager with a disc in the drive they
will be removed from the DB if you run it again.

I'd like to add the ability to watch video files (mpeg, xvid etc..) off of
CDs/DVDs
to the optical disk menu. I believe I can customize the menu by copying it to
my
myth user's home directory and adding a link to a shell script. That seems
kind of
like a hack though. I want something nice and clean that I can queue up files
on
the disk or play them individually. Does anyone have a script or how-to etc to
do
this?
BTW... this should be standard functionality. Anyone who's capable of putting
together a working myth system has these disks laying around.
