[mythtv-users] Autoplay of inserted CDs and DVDs

[Tako Schotanus]

I had to scroll all the way down in my list of MP3s to see that the 
option actually exists :-D
But it's grayed out no matter if I have a CD in the drive or not.
Is there anything else I need to do to make this work?

But are any of these features being planned?
Because mplayer is already being used in MythVideo for example, so 
wouldn't it be possible to add an "DVD" entry just like the "CD" option 
in MythMusic?

And autoplay options would make me very happy as well :-)

Of course I could write scripts for all this but this is about making 
MythTV the greatest and most useful "media center" possible.

Cheers,
 -Tako
