[vdr] Re: Play DVD as VDR recording

["Robert Schneider" <Robert.Schneider@de.ibm.com>]

I also have different DVDs on disk and sometimes I even want to watch one 
that I physically insert. Therefore I use a script for that that I call 
through the commands.conf commands.

Like (activates Matrix):

#!/bin/sh
rm /vdrconf/dvd
ln -s /video1/dvd/Matrix /vdrconf/dvd

Or to get the real DVD drive (in my case):

#!/bin/sh
rm /vdrconf/dvd
ln -s /dev/hdc /vdrconf/dvd

Of course, you have to start vdr with -V /vdrconf/dvd
