mytharchive fails with caddy DVD writer when running growisofs

[anonymous]

Hi, mythburn.py currently tries to open and close the cdrom drive, if growisofs fails.

My first thought was, that the drive should get in a state where it is not ready, but my drive does not fail anymore, when getting the status of it before running growisofs. It failed for me every time i created a dvd with mytharchive. So i made following changes:

1. The status of the drive is checked. If the Media is OK or getting status of the drive is not implemented, growisofs starts
2. If the tray is open it waits until the user closes the tray
3. If there is no media inserted, it opens the tray
4. if the drive is not ready it resets it.

I forgot to tell why it fails. It is because the caddy DVD writer is not able to close the tray.

Please ignore the patch above.

• The status of the drive is checked. If the Media is OK or getting status of the drive is not implemented, growisofs starts.

• If the tray is open it waits until the user closes the tray.

• If there is no media inserted, it opens the tray.

• If the drive is not ready it resets it.

I modified the patch slightly to make sure we don't get stuck in an infinite loop waiting for a good status.

Patch by Lukas Kasprowicz. Closes #3841.
