Thanks for the info, but that doesn't help.
I already don't have the automounter running.
It's freevo that is mounting and umounting the drive over and over.
So you tested this with 1.8.0, with a CD/DVD full of video,
and were actually able to play a video?

With Freevo 1.8.0, no such luck. On investigation, it seems that right
before the call to MPlayer.play() there are two calls:
directory.py calls self.media.umount()
ejectromdrives.py calls item.media.umount()
Naturally, once umounted, the file can no longer be seen, and
mplayer.py returns an error that may or may not freeze Freevo.
Looking deeper, it seems that every time I change directory there is a
call to utils.umount_all().
I can't imagine why anybody thought that would be a good idea.
So why does Freevo keep umounting my drive, and how do I stop it?
Also, I have a USB drive that is not always there. If I mention it in
local_conf.py, I get an error message to standard out and log
every second about how the device isn't there. That really isn't
helpful. Can this message be disabled?
AFAIK this has not changed, since Freevo-1.5
Freevo is a bit odd with mounting, normally DVD and CD are handled
automatically by freevo. You don't need to have an auto mounter running
to mount them, See:
http://doc.freevo.org/TipsAndTricks
USB devices are a bit different, a device is created when a stick is
plugged in, unlike DVD drives, and for these you do need an auto mounter
running on these mount points.
Last time I tested this it worked fine.
