22 OK Neil. thanks. I added mytharchive and now I have the optical disks
23 menu entry. That's a step in the right direction. Seems I need to add
24 some storage area for it to store ripped discs I suppose, but other
25 than that at least things look more functional.
26
27 Maybe I made an assumption about mythdvd that was incorrect. My wife
28 asked if she could watch movies inside of Myth instead of using xine.
29 I assumed Myth could just play a movie from the disc but it seems like
30 possibly it wants to rip first?
31
32 Are you able to play DVD's without ripping them? If so maybe I'm
33 missing some other module? mythvideo possibly?
34
35 Thanks,
36 Mark
