[mythtv-users] Why does MythVideo require /dev/dvd?

[jonny Linux]

Hi,

I'm running MythTV frontend on an ultra-portable laptop (IBM X40) with no
CD/DVD drive. I have some videos mounted on an NFS share from the backend,
and I can use mplayer to play them. I've just installed mythvideo with the
Internal player, but when I try to play the file I get:

2006-07-25 16:15:08.158 TV: Attempting to change from None to

2006-07-25 16:15:08.206 Failed to open DVD device at /dev/dvd

But I just want to play a file from the nfs share, so why does it need to
access /dev/dvd. I've tried changing the DVD settings to /dev/null and I
even added a symbolic link between /dev/dvd and /dev/null, but I still get
the same error.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Jonny
