Yeah. Everybody has to follow the own timetable. So without any implied expectation of a test report by you: I uploaded the new development snapshot https://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/xorriso-1.5.7.tar.gz with the new time oriented table-of-content features. They are for situations where the usually shown volume ids are fewly informative (like "ISOIMAGE" in each session) but also if it is difficult to create a search expression for the desired volume id when mounting. Time oriented table-of-content: $ xorriso -indev /dev/sr0 -toc_info_type mtime -toc ...

If you become too perky, expect rejections like: xorriso : SORRY : -mount: Cannot decode timestring 'Rapunzel' Complaints about unfulfillable time constraints will tell the internally used seconds since 1970: $ xorriso -mount_cmd /dev/sr0 before "June 01 2024" /mnt/iso ... libisoburn: FAILURE : Failed to find "before" "=1717192800" "=" is the time_t indicator for xorriso.
