Hi,

I have been meaning to turn my script that does similar into a plugin
but, as you have already made a start....
I'd like to make a couple of suggestions to make this plugin more useful
(to me at least :-) ).

I don't use ISO images since I discovered that it is possible to mount a
directory containing the raw video_ts structure directly.  It would be
very useful if these directories were picked up as well as ISO images. 

I've already modified a copy of your plugin to test the theory and it
works well, it only requires a few minor modifications that you may wish
to include in your next release:
I changed the FINDCMD by removing the "-type" filter and allow for
multiple patterns and use the -"printf" to select the appropriate parts
from the results.  I use the find command as follows:

#define ISOEXT       "*.iso"
#define TSDIR        "video_ts"
#define FINDCMD      "cd '%s' && find '%s' -follow -iname '%s' -printf
'%%p\n' -o -iname '%s' -printf '%%h\n' 2> /dev/null"
...
  asprintf(&cmd, FINDCMD, config.ImageDir, config.ImageDir, ISOEXT,
TSDIR);


Additionally it would be good if there was a mount and play option that
would mount the image then go straight into the dvd plugin or mplayer
and begin playing the selection.  


Keep up the good work,

Graham.
