Sweet, that plugin explains a how the magic worked :). Add that to

Re: [Freevo-users] changing a dvd while running freevo
I think I know how to disable the freevo default automount behaviour in
favor of subfs
So obvious I didn't saw it. Makes me feel uncomfortable.
plugin.remove('rom_drives.autostart')
I've tried it, whitout luck :(
I made sure the submount rule in /etc/fstab was uncommented. removed the
module from being started. Stopped autofs starting up.
Apparantly Fedora Core 4 uses udev and hal.
After rebooting I could play a DVD, but could not remove it anymore. So it
was mounted.
Proof of fact: /etc/fstab
# the uncomment rule
#/dev/hda /media/cdrecorder subfs
fs=cdfss,users,defaults0 0
This rule was automagicly added after reboot
/dev/hda/media/cdrecorder1 auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
So the freevo mechanism does not work for me (yet).
Probably I need to dig into info about HAL and udev to prevent automounts.
On the other hand, usb devices working as one should excpect: painless.
I will reenable the subfs system again and start digging into the deeper
basics of the automount system. However, in my case it should be cleaner
to disable the freevo mount behaviour.
Anybody has some toughts?
Not that it produces errors or is annoying, but having two systems for the
same job is definitly not a good thing.

Geert-
Oops, sorry for the typo. Good point baout teh more and more common
automounting setup of the newer Linux distros. I still use Slackware,
so had not really thought about that.

I believe the point is due to distributions which have automount
working
by default for the CD/DVD device.
In my case I had replace it by submount. So disabling any mounting of
the
DVD/CD should work fine. At least I'm gonna try that.
The only way were submount should be effective: you use the computer
for
multiple purposes (Desktop).
So somewhere in the WIKI there should be a statement to drop
automounting
systems for dvd/cd in order to avoid possible issues. Or is there a way
to
disable this default behaviour in freevo? Most linux distributions will
include (actually they do) more and more auto mounting systems.

All I know is that if I have a disc mounted then start and stop
freevo
it is no longer mounted. Freevo must have some internal mounting
already built in because when I put in a CD or DVD it automatically
mounts it (I don't know if it is officially mounted or if it's just
some internal trickery) and when I press the eject button on the
drive
itself it is unmounted and ejected automatically.
I think the real problem that should be addressed is:
If this is not working for you without supermount/submount then what
is wrong with the freevo configuration you have as it SHOULD work
like
you want it to WITHOUT external automounting facilities.

I would say, preformance issue are the big thing. Freevo has not
need to have any disc's mounted to play and the eject buttons work
fine on my drives. As understand it Freevo handles that part in the
background. Running a second system to do the same thing, is going
ot
add alot of undeeded over head with the potential of race or
confilcts
between the two systems. Lastly it just makes installing freevo that
much harder

Evan,

I don't see why you find this a bad idea.

I think using something like submount/supermount is just a bad
idea
in this case. Freevo handles VCD/CD/DVD just fine without any
kind
of
mounting madness outside of freevo.
I added submount to make my freevobox pass the housewife :) test.
Normal users will push the eject button. Like they use to do with
CD
players. They expect the devices behave like this. Intuitive
behaviour.
Creating a application where the user has to read a phone-book
size
manual
full of exceptions doesn't make much sense to me.
Mounted CD's needs to be umounted first before ejecting.
Anyway, thnx to submount CD's get ejected using the eject button
instead
of issuing the eject command from the keyboard/remote control.
adding
a
new CD to the tray gets automagicly detected and applied into
freevo.
So far I didn't see any problem with it. Perhaps this could raise
performance issue with slower processors?
Mandriva users using freevo should already have this feature

supermount.

Re: [Freevo-users] changing a dvd while running freevo
Greet- I think using something like submount/supermount is just a bad idea in this case. Freevo handles VCD/CD/DVD just fine without any kind of mounting madness outside of freevo.

The mandrake distribution comes default with supermount http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/TipsAndTricks#head-1d05cdb982531dee65b0f3d20548b880722069ae Submount needs only a additional kernel module and some experiments with parameters in /etc/fstab Supermount needs a patched kernel HTH Geert On Tue, 26 Jul 2005 11:44 am, Jake Briggs wrote: you dont need to mount a dvd to play it. eject can be used with EJECT mapped to a button on the remote, or . on your keyboard.

Wouldnt be much of a home theatre setup if you had to turn it off to watch another movie now, would it ? :) Haha true :) Jake Hi all How does one change a dvd when running freevo? For example, I just watched a movie, and I want to watch another. Do i have to exit freevo, umount the dvd, eject the dvd, then insert the new one, then run freevo again? Or can freevo do this sort of thing automatically (well, apart from the 'insert a new one' part :) ). I was just going to configure the supermount stuff last night, but then I thought I had better ask, maybe freevo has some issues when using supermount ?
