Eject Bug Hack

Here is a git patch that consists of a script to detect and recover from the eject bug and the modification necessary to make that script be run as a service. Nothing about this install process is automatic, though once installed it runs fully automatic. If you don't know how to read a git patch, you'd best learn how. Improper application of the contents of this patch to your system could certainly brick it.

Unformatted patch follows:

 window.

+#!/bin/sh
+
+# Reason:
+# There is a known problem that, for an unknown reason, disc eject fails on rooted NSZ-GT1 systems.
+# Side effects of this problem include the possibility that the disc is not ejected and in all cases
+# the problem that discs cannot be played after attempted eject.
+# Rebooting the system fixes the problem, but this solution eliminates the need for reboot.
+
+# Alternative solutions:
+# Restart the device via the power cord or ctrl-alt-del.
+
+# Caveats:
+# This fix does not detect the occurrence of any error, but rather occurrence of a known event which
+# reliably preceeds the error and is reliably followed by the error situation.
+# Error messages and odd behavior may be observed onscreen at the moment of eject, though none of
+# this causes any side-effects.
+
+# Stimulus:
+# From command: logcat -b main
+# Output: I DiscPlayerManager: onStartCommand: com.sony.btv.discplayer.EJECT_DISC
+
+# Response:
+# setprop com.sony.btv.discplayer.enable 0
+# busybox eject /dev/block/sr0
+# setprop com.sony.btv.discplayer.enable 1
+
+# Usage:
+#   eject_bug_workaround.sh &
+#   - Runs workaround in background.
+#   eject_bug_workaround.sh 600 &
+#   - Sleeps for 600 seconds before running, all in background.
+#   - Useful for ensuring a window of recovery in case any side-effects occur.
