reFocus: ejecting DVD media

AlfredJKwack · 2011-01-18 18:03

Hi,

This may sound really silly but I'm just drawing a total blank here.

I'm using the reFocus (and loving it more every day). I've inserted a DVD and watched it. Now how do I eject it from within XBMC? Confused

The only logical place seems to be the home screen but there's no option there.

Thanks.

Really, no one?

there's no entry on the homescreen for it. I think it's quite a useless feature, as one would have to walk up to the device anyway assuming the disc is ejected with the intent of taking it out.

And what if he has slot-in dvd drive? (without eject button) Smile

which is exactly my case...

The way I solved this :

open

skin.refocus/720p/HomeMenu.xlm

after

Code:

<item id="10">

<label>$LOCALIZE[341]</label>

<onclick>XBMC.PlayDVD</onclick>

<visible>System.HasMediadvd</visible>

</item>

add

Code:

<item id="10">

<label>$LOCALIZE[31979]</label>

<onclick>XBMC.EjectTray()</onclick>

<visible>System.HasMediadvd</visible>

</item>

This will add Eject in the Main Menu as soon as a CD/DVD has been recognized.

ok, didn't realize the issue here. I have a slot-in drive too, but it does have an eject buton.
Best way to go about this I think would be to have a "disc" entry in the home menu, which opens a submenu with "play" and "eject". I'll have a look at this for the next release.

greetings, jeroen

Hi Jeroen,

Thanks for taking this into consideration on behalf of all Mac Mini users out there. ;-)

@DFence: Thanks for the tip. Since I have DVD autoplay enabled this change is probably the best use I'm going to get out of the menu entry - for now anyway.

Ah, I could have known this would be because of Steve Job's allergy to buttons...

Sorry, CloudDweller posted a question here, but I screwed up when replying Blush

Anyway, at least here's the answer:
sorry, Jeroen

For a quick and dirty way just replace

<label>$LOCALIZE[31979]</label>

with

<label>eject disc</label>
