Title:
  mythfrontend should use the eject command not myth's eject function

Status in MythTV:
  Invalid
Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythtv-frontend

  Mythtv's frontend application uses a build in function eject to eject
  the media drive.  Unfortunetly it looks like there are lots of
  problems with getting this to work if the system automounts.  There
  are a few different hacks that people have used to get the eject menu
  item to work.  Both involve editing the eject action in
  /usr/share/mythtv/optical_menu.xml.  Some users change the action to
  EXEC umount /dev/dvd; eject, but most users seem to be changing this
  to EXEC eject.  The system's eject application seems to be a lot more
  reliable than myth's.  Using this line I was able to get the eject
  menu to work.  This is a big deal for those of use with htpc cases
  that don't have buttons.
