Misc DVD Drive Support

[thelaughingman]

A few things about supporting DVD drives:

I know DVD player support is currently in Boxee, however, I have discs with multiple avis/mkvs on them that I would like to be able to pop in an play. Currently I can browse files on the disc, but I can't play them.

Eject currently doesn't work.

In OSXBMC/Plex there is an option to skip the opening of a DVD and so you do sit through the antipiracy warnings, Paramount logos, etc. Can this feature be added to Boxee.

Thanks.

dvd's with a filesystem (a.k.a iso9660) are not yet supported off the shelf.
you can however watch the content on these dvd's when browsing to them from the "options" menu.
go to "my video", click "options" -> "sources" (the 4th option) and the dvd should be one of the sources displayed. when you browse the dvd from there you will be able to play your files.

you can twick the "auto run" options via the settings screen (under "system").

regarding Plex, we are based on the same code as they are so those features are available to boxee as well. however we do not expose them in UI for various reasons. a walk through "guisettings.xml" can get you places... :)
