Bug#786989: xbmc: Eject/Load fails to eject my DVD

[monnier at IRO.UMontreal.CA]

Package: xbmc
Version: 2:13.2+dfsg1-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I installed "xbmc" on a Mac-Mini running Debian stable.  I did
"adduser xbmc", then added this user to groups cdrom, video, audio,
plugdev, and powerdev, and then arranged for xbmc-standalone to be
started by systemd.

It works OK in that I can watched my DVDs just fine, but I can't
eject them from XBMC: when I press the "Eject/Load" button under
the big "PLAY DISC" button, nothing happens.

If I look at the logs while clicking on this button, I see that
really very little happens (even after enabling all the extra
verbose categories).  More specifically, efter each click, the
only messages I get are of the form:

   13:59:49 T:63623168 DEBUG: ProcessMouse: trying mouse action leftclick

The "xbmc" user under which this is running definitely has the needed
access rights (if I type "eject" from a shell running as user "xbmc",
the DVD is ejected just fine).

Since this is a Mac Mini, there's no "eject" button directly on the drive,
so I *really* need this "Eject/Load" button to work!


	Stefan
