After looking through cdrom.h and the various possibilities and the time it would to test to ensure reasonable behaviour - I think the easiet way would be to add an Eject menu which executes a command which is defined in "settings" and I think it will be the standard "eject" command with parameters to suit your system. The plugin could be configured to insert drive device name into the command line. I think plugin should check that CD drive has status CDS_DISC_OK and cdda2wav is not running before executing the command. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47288 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
