4025	DVD Eject not working properly	skd5aner@…	Nigel	"I'm running current SVN (r14526) and over the past summer I've seen a regression in ejecting my DVD drive.

1) I used to be able to open and close the DVD drive manually via the physical button on the dvd drive.  I lost that functionality a few months ago
2) I then used to be able to use the ""eject media"" option in myth with no problems.

Now, I can no longer manually use the eject button and the eject option within mythfrontend isn't working properly.  What happens is when mythfrontend first starts up, the physical eject button no longer works.  It works during boot and when mythfrontend is not running.  In addition, when I use mythfrontend to eject the media, it'll work maybe 2 or 3 times.  Then it no longer ejects the drive.  I get the following:

""Unable to open orclose the empty drive LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S (/dev/scd0).  You may have to use the eject button on the drive"".  However, like I've said, it's like myth locks the utilization of the physical eject button.  If the frontend isn't running, it works just fine.  When I use the ""eject media"" options, it'll turn on the LCD light on the drive, spin it up for about a second, and then the message comes up.

The only way I can ever get the tray to eject after this occurs is by rebooting.

Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide to help fix this.
