Hi Dan, unfortunately I'm not too much involved in eject code, and volname is not a tool that I use currently... I don't know if I can help so much

Let's fix that. I had a quick look at what it would take. First, udf seems complex, so rather than extend the simple hardcoded iso parser in volname.c, it might make sense to use libdvdread's handy UDFGetVolumeIdentifier() function, and fall back to the existing iso parser if that fails (e.g. if the disc is not udf format). Second, volname currently right-justifies the volume name, which probably works nicely with isos because their names are space-padded, but looks funny with dvds, because UDFGetVolumeIdentifier does not space-pad. Might want to left-justify the output of volname, or remove the padding. Third, libdvdread suffers from a bug ( http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1451 ) which keeps it from reading the volume name properly. This is fixed upstream, but they haven't don't a release yet, so we'd want to include a patch. Fourth, libdvd's DVDOpen() function prints an annoying warning about encrypted dvds not being supported, even when you're just getting a volume name. That probably should be suppressed or printed later, so it's not seen when just retrieving the volume name. I'll attach my quickie patches to the eject and libdvdread packages showing what I have so far. Ideally, someone will reply and say "Oh, we already fixed all that" :-) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: eject 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-25.45-generic 2.6.32.21+drm33.7 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-25-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Nov 21 23:59:49 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: eject To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eject/+bug/678419/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
