The autofs daemon is running and i also checked the "check for CD/DVD changes" option in mythTV settings. But still there are no videos displayed in the video list until i manually mount the cd/dvd. Can anyone help me with that problem?

Unless I'm mistaken, "check for CD/DVD changes" doesn't work on such 
CD.  Here is a script I use with KnoppMyth.

#!/bin/bash
mount /cdrom
/usr/local/bin/mplayer -fs -vo xv -cache 8192 /cdrom/*
umount /cdrom

I have a button on the menu that is configured like this:

   <button>
    <type>MPEG4 CD</type>
    <text>MPEG4 CD</text>
    <action>EXEC sh /usr/local/bin/divx.sh</action>
    </button>
