Try the same command as mythdvd uses, from the terminal:
$ xine -pfhq dvd:/ (or whatever)
to se if you get any error messages. I had to specify that OSS should be
used instead of alsa.

I already tried pressing the Play DVD option and it didn't do anything.
I know mplayer works because I used it to show a capture when following
Jarod's guide. I tried a variety of the playing options (Do nothing,
Play DVD, etc) and none of them have worked.
I guess it is going to be another day another adventure with trying to
get this myth box working
open to suggestions...
