Hi,
I'm having an issue with mythTV. Previously in FC3 I could slide in a CD or DVD and mythTV would recognize the format and either mount the CD or start playing the DVD. Now in FC4 that doesn't work anymore for me.
I've tried some things and when I set the fstype in fstab to udf, mythTV plays DVD's automatically again. Unfortunately it doesn't mount a normal CD that way, so I'm still not back to the way it used to be. I somehow can't put "auto" for fstype in fstab because in that case it will mount a DVD using the iso9660 fstype (which is wrong). When that happens, mythT will not recognize the disc as a DVD any more and not start playback.
Is this mouting of a DVD using the iso9660 fstype a bug ?
Does anyone have a solution ?
Regards, Marcel

In gnome, Desktop->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media, etc.

Hmm, although I don't use MythTV, I have a FC3 box with a DVD-ROM drive. My fstab file has "auto" for the filesystem, and it manages to mount discs with the appropriate filetypes. What if you try using "udf,iso9660" as the filetype entry? I seem to recall that was how it used to be done a long time ago (DVD-ROM drive entries in the fstab file).

I would have thought so. I thought all DVDs had to be UDF. Though are you sure the discs are formatted as UDF?

With "udf,iso9660" DVD's are recognized fine by mythTV, but normal CD's are not mounted as they where in FC3.

The DVD's I use are Video DVD's and some are data DVD's created by k3b (which worked well before in FC3). I expect the Video DVD to be played by mythTV, which it does when I put "udf,iso9660" in fstab and I expect the data DVD to be mounted, which it doesn't at the moment. This is very inconvenient because my mythTV box is normally controlled by remote control and although it has a keyboard, it's not really supposed to be used all the time. In short, this is a bit of a showstopper for mythTV.
