I'm curious to know if anyone is having the same problem. I put in a DVD and when I press eject from the default skin it won't eject. I have to go out to console, and .
Code:
sudo eject -r

Yes I have the same problem, running Live Beta2.
Seems that it won´t play the dvd´s aswell, the dvd get mounted but when I press OK on the mce remote nothing happens.
Any suggestions? Will upgarde to the Atlantis release tomorrow and see if that helps, today I´m running Beta2 on hdd.

The DVD's plays nice now after upgrade to Atlantis, but the drive still won´t eject the disc.
Edit: Running Live on HDD.

Just a sidenote, not enough to just apt-get upgrade for this fix.
You need to redo the stick from scratch.
If that doesnt help then we would need some logs.

Fresh install from the Live CD, will work on the log as soon as I can. 
Ok, here is my log.
Started debug, restart system, load dvd, stop movie and tried to eject.

Have looked into it more and since I´m a *nix newbie it seems that xbmc "mounts" the dvd drive but it does not release it, is there some way to just make a script that unmounts the dvd after playback since it is easier to just eject and reload the dvd then restart computer.

darnit yeah that might interfere. the mounting was a last minute addition to get UDF and DVD working but be able to eject it should have been good :S
But the fix for these are rather big and I wonder if we can do them as simply a bugfix but Ill certainly look into it.

Thanks for that Topfs2
A quick question, is it easy to add a bashscript into the script meny in xbmc?
Was thinking of something like "unmount /dev/cdrom" as a temporarily solution that I just can run instead of reboot.

Yeah sure, there is a system.exec(Your neat command) that you can do in both skins and in keymap.xml

Is there an "official" recommended fix for this issue?
I've edited sysctl.conf as follows:
dev.cdrom.lock=0
It seems to work with limited testing (except for the warning that pops up when you eject the disk).

Thanks for that _Iz- , haven't looked into this so much (CTRL+ALT+backspace also works if you are fast on the eject button)

Unfortunately no. I'm locking into it but my schedule is quite filled up with moving and with exams
The reason is that we mount DVDs to be able to play UDF, the fix is not a simple bug fix and its more probable that we will yank and remove the UDF support in atlantis instead so eject works
