Ejecting disks with MythTV in Fedora Core 6

One of the annoyances I have discovered with MythTV and Fedora Core is the inability to eject the optical drive in a default install of MythTV.

Apparently the function EJECT that is called in the menu file for the Optical Disk doesn’t work in Fedora Core.

To fix this, edit the file optical_menu.xml. Look for the line:

<action>EJECT</action>

Remove the text EJECT and replace it with:

EXEC eject -T

This will tell the system to send the optical drive a close tray command if the tray is open and a open tray command if the tray is closed.
