I tried to put in a CD to my Myth box to get it to play it. But then I found there were no play options. I tried to import, but it didn't want to do it (or I didn't understand the interface).
Then, I put in a VCD. I wanted to import it, but the only option was to play it.
Of course, I had no expectation of being able to view a CD-G with it.
Are these options actually missing or are the buried somewhere, or... ?
EDIT: Ugh. I ran into another missing feature I expected. No 'import pictures from a photo cd' option. I put in a CDROM with JPEGs and can't pop it back out. It has locked the tray.

The "play VCD" problem will require you to customise the menus. Something like 'mplayer --autoplay vcd' I think. You will probably find what you need by searching these forums. Try VCD or mplayer as search terms.
The disk stuck in the drive can be fixed by going to a Linux console (Alt-Ctrl-F1), logging in as root, and typing eject. (then, go back to the MythTV screen by typing Alt-Ctrl-F7)

To play audio CDs I believe you have to go through the playlist editor in MythMusic and select the CD. It seems kind of cumbersome, I suspect most people just rip their CDs. What do you mean it didn't want to import the CD? What happened?

Play VCD is automatically there for me under Optical Drives. I don't need to customise anything.

Yes, you are right. I meant CD or CD-G.
A quick Google reveals no mention of CD-G for either Xine or Mplayer.
You can play a CD directly with something like:
xine cdda://<track-number>
mplayer cdda://track_________________ | Nigel Pearson, nigel.pearson.au@gmail.com| "Things you own end up owning you" - Tyler, Fight Club

I've got a singer with a big karaoke collection I've got to please. For that, it looks like I'll have to keep the DVD player around a while more to handle the CDGs.

Nice! I'd have to rip a huge collection to create the CDG/MP3 files, but that'll definately do the trick. With any luck, I could reuse some of the file picker interfaces currently in Myth. Thanks!

From memory you should be able to use Mythvideo as I "think" please don't qoute me you can set which program to use on a per file basis.
Just looked it up and here is a quote from http://www.mythtv.info
Quote: Per-file Configuration
You can also run specified files with a non-standard command. Under the MythVideo Video Manager, if you hit enter on a specific file, you are presented with the settings for that file. The categories here are fairly self explanatory, but in the Unique Player Command box at the bottom you can specify different parameters to launch the file with.
If your movie comes in two or more parts, you can specify the file you always want to play next under, er, File to Always Play Next. For example, if I'm editing "A Film Too Long CD1", I can shift left and right until I find "A Film Too Long CD2" and so on. This will give you seamless playback of your chosen flick.
Give it a go.
