Hallo Sascha,

OK, I'll try to specify some more :)
Actually it is not /dvd I was remembering wrong. I am using /dev/dvd and
it is normally a link to /dev/scd0

When I test a DVD I remove /dev/dvd and link it like this :
ln -s /path/to/dvd.iso /dev/dvd
>

Then I start the DVD plugin and it plays the .iso :)

I don't mind starting the Media Detection Plugin by hand ! 
I really don't exepect it to look at /dev/dvd all the time to see if it
has changed ;)

How can I dod that with the above ?

Is it more clear now ?
