[mythtv-users] monitor and mount a central DVD drive for two front ends

[Kevin Robbins]

Is there a way to have myth monitor a folder instead of /dev/dvd so
when I insert the dvd on the central dvd player and mount it (which
its mounted to the remote pc folder as well) it will act just like I
stuck a DVD in the local machine?
