Summary: mmpython can't detect VCDs properly on insertion

Initial Comment:
I'm not sure if this is a 'new' problem, but mmpython
hasn't been able to detect VCDs upon insertion (when
browsing the DVD-ROM drive in Freevo) for quite a while
now. I believe it started since switching to lsdvd for
DVD parsing.

When browsing an inserted VCD disk in Freevo, it just
says "No Titles" or something similar.

This is tested against SVN mmpython on Oct 25.

The VCD detection stuff is a bad hack, it has nothing to do
with mounting. It tries to find some strings at the
beginning of the disc. Can you check vcdinfo.py and maybe
read more bytes frm the beginning. Or take a look at
'strings /dev/cdrom | less'. BTW, please reply personaly or
use the devel mailing list, I don't like tracker.

Ok. I've tried mmpython's mminfo, and here's the attached
log. The first VCD (Karaoke) is detected as a video disk,
while the second (children's video) is detected as a data
disk (!) I guess newer VCDs are formatted as data disks,
with a specific subdirectory structure. I've provided the
directory listing for the second disk for reference. I'm not
sure if it is possible to play the avseq??.dat files
directly from a mounted VCD disk. My CD-ROM failed to read
it, but it might be due to a hardware problem (it's rather
flaky when reading CD-ROMs) rather than a filesystem limitation.

lsdvd has nothing to do with VCD detection, it was only used
for DVDs. What does 'mminfo /dev/cdrom' say when you insert
a VCD? And please try kaa.metadata next, it is the new home
of mmpython. Details at http://www.freevo.org/kaa. You only
need to install kaa.base and kaa.metadata to get an updated
mmpython.

I won't do anyhing about this because in rel-1 mmpython has
already been replaced by kaa.metadata and kaa.metadata does
not use lsdvd.
