Hi all:

I've had limited exposure to Linux and non to KnoppMyth until yesterday.

I've successfully installed and configured a KnoppMyth box running on a Via M10000 itx board but I've hit a snag and just don't understand hardware configurations on Linux.

I can't use my external USB Mad Dog DVD burner. The OS can't seem to see it and neither can MythTV or Xine.

Xine comes back with a pair of error messages when I click on the DVD button.

No input plugin available to handle 'DVD/'. Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist.

When I press <DONE> that window closes and a new message window opens and says.

The source can't be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g.: no disk in drive.) /dev/dvd.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
