Check this thread:

what version of mythvideo are you running?  MythVideo recognizes the
VIDEO_TS directories fine for me, and from there I use the following
command line:

xine -fg dvd:%s

Well, actually I don't quite use that command line...I use a script to
make sure the video is correctly mounted as I have several networked,
dynamically mounted video directories...but it boils down to that
command line in it's simplest form.
