I think that this is your problem, if you use the auto-mounter then you need to tell freevo where the CD/DVD drive is, at least with "udf,iso9660" as freevo is looking for " iso9660 " in /etc/fstab. So the easiest way is to use the ROM_DRIVES setting such as: ROM_DRIVES = [ ('/media/cdrom0', '/dev/hdc', 'DVD') ] The ROM_DRIVES_AUTOFS setting tells freevo not to mount or umount the drive as this is handled by the auto-mounter. What you need to check is that the auto-mounter is actually using /media/cdrom0 and not another mount point. > What actually happens when I insert a DVD is as follows.

It is possible the Gladiator has a copy protection system that stops it being correctly detected so try another disk. Attached is a patch that does a bit more logging of the ROM-drive detection.
