 We have been running MythTV 0.26.0 on Fedora 17 box for a while.
 Recently, we added a DVD player to the box.

 At first DVD playback didn't work at all.  We figured out this was because
 Fedora creates the device as /dev/sr0 with a soft link from /dev/cdrom,
 but MythTV looks for a name /dev/dvd.

 We added manually a /dev/dvd link, and then things worked fine.

 That link will not be persistent, since /dev is populated by udev on each
 boot.  So after some investigation, we realized there was a setting for
 this, which we changed from "default" to "/dev/cdrom".  (DVDDeviceLocation
 in the settings table in the database.)

 After that playback works fine without the manually added link.  But the
 eject entry says there is no device.  Ejecting worked fine with the
 manually added link.

 This is a bug, isn't it?  The eject function should use the device
 configured for DVD playback, right?
