Linux-based recognition of CD/DVD discs, with cover art

I've been using the software with my Hollywood +.  My only gripe with DVD under Linux is that it doesn't
retrieve the dvd title, cover art, director, actors, etc. like in Windows.

But my friend just installed Plutohome, an open source Linux media project.  Whenever he inserts a CD or DVD,
it recognizes the disc and displays the cover art, along with detailed attributes, like the names of the
chapters in a DVD, or the studio for a CD, like a Windows XP Media Center does.  It also seems to cache this
locally since the next time he puts the disc in the recognition is instant; first time there's a 2 second
delay or so.  I didn't know there was such a free system for Linux.  I only knew about freedb, which works only
for cd's, isn't nearly as accurate, and doesn't have cover art or other extended data.  Why don't we do the
same thing?  Since Plutohome.org is open source, can't we just copy the code?  I don't want to install
Pluto-home because it has so much stuff I don't need (home automation, phone system, media streaming, etc.).

Thanks,
Johan

What sofware?

I guess you should say this to the developers of your preferred player 
(xine, dvr, vlc, mplayer or any other). Here, we only work on drivers 
for Hollywood+ and DXR3 boards, not on any player...

Cheers,

Nicolas

As you may guess, it works fine for me. What version of the dxr3 driver 
are you using? 0.15.0? Or current CVS?
And if it is current CVS, what version of the autotools have you used? 
Did you get any warning?

Cheers,

Nicolas

Proper bootstrapping requires the gtk+ devel files.

Problems with 0.15 driver

Hello,

I'm a newbie to the dxr3 Linux driver (though I've had this card since
the late 90's).

My system is:

SuSE Linux linux 2.6.11.4-21.7-smp #1 SMP Thu Jun 2 14:23:14 UTC 2005
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

The module compiled and installed without errors.  devices.sh was run to
create the devices:

> ls -l /dev/em*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     13 2005-07-20 21:04 /dev/em8300
-> /dev/em8300-0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 121, 0 2005-07-20 21:04 /dev/em8300-0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     16 2005-07-20 21:04 /dev/em8300_ma

crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 121, 3 2005-07-20 21:04 /dev/em8300_sp-0

Loading the driver using ldm results in:

OK. That patch is now applied.
