Thanks for all the tips. I ended up trying the directory renaming. I added a '.DVD' extension to the DVD directories and added that file type to the videos area. After a bit of tweaking with the xine settings, it's working pretty well. Now, I just need to get the xine keymap settings configured to work with my MythTV/lircd settings, and I'll be all set. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
