how to make sagetv behave like a stand-alone dvd player

[jchan1]

Is it possible to make SageTV act like a stand-alone dvd player when ever a dvd is inserted into the dvdrom drive, if so how would I go about doing it.

See the DVD command on p 238 of the v5 manual. You caould make the command part of the autoplay action to take when a DVD is inserted.

The biggest dang problem I run into with trying to get DVD's to auto-play into ANY app (NV, Sage, Zoom)... is that if I turn on any sort of auto-play to monitor for a DVD insert... it does NOT stop the damndable "Intervideo Installers" from popping up in front of the screen and making havok with the application the DVD is playing in.

The only way I can get the stupid installers to shut the heck up, is by shutting off any and all auto-play for the dvd rom drive. Its stupid.

You just haven't tried AnyDVD yet. It will do autoplay and KILL any attempted installs of crapware like "InterActual".

$40 ??? Agh, no thanks, I'll just keep to having auto-play off, and hitting the play button instead. I have no issues with upscaling protection or any of that other bull, so AnyDVD would only be used to auto-launch without auto-installer. Not worth $40 in my book.
