Hello everyone,

I am pretty new to Hazel and was wondering of how to accomplish the following task:

I want Hazel to open a specific programme when a DVD or a BluRay is mounted via my disc-drive.
So I though of doing this by: If the mounted folder contains a VIDEO_TS folder, open programme XX, if the mounted folder contains a a BDMV file, open programme YY. Would this work or is there maybe even an easier way of doind this? And I was wondering of how to access the volume folder with Hazel.

any thanks for your help.

If you can find the Volume folder in Finder, you can drag it into Hazel to monitor. While you can use a nested condition to look for certain folders/files on the volume, the problem is that every drive on the system is under Volumes so it would cause a huge scan of every file available. You might need to come up with a shellscript which can do some queries on the mounted volume to see if, in the very least, it's removable media. Even better if it can identify a DVD or BluRay.

Well, I have to admit I thought it is easier than that.
I am not familiar with shell scripting at all. Is there someone who could help me out here?
Many thanks in advance...
