Erie,
For your DVD, you can create entirely new definitions: For example:

For your DVD, you can create entirely new definitions: For example:
- - Create new 'Generic Serial Module' Hardware Interface.
- Select 'Create New Definition' as the 'Hardware Definition'
- Name the Definition something to identify your DVD player.
- Configure the specific serial commands for the DVD player.
- Then create a new Device Definition for the DVD player. You do this from the main menu (Settings/Configure Generic Serial...). Then choose 'Device/New Device Definition'.
- Add the appropriate Properties for the Device and save the definition.
- Restart HouseBot.
- Add the new Device and associate it with the new Hardware definition.
- Map the commands from the Device to the Hardware commands.

Since I was into the code to answer your question, I went ahead and added the option. It will be in the next update (this week sometime).
I guess I would recommend a script (Script Device) for the playlist lookup. The script would execute whenever the Disk# Property changes (using a Task). It would then lookup the disk details (wherever you store that) and update the appropriate Properties on the Device.
