Simple script; All it does is opening and closing the dvd tray.
I wrote this just because this functionality was seemingly missing from the Aurora Dashboard itself.
I called it "_DVD Eject" because it's the only way to make this rather unconvenient way of opening and closing the dvd tray somewhat more bearable (Edit 1: And because that's what was recommended to me in this PR, previously I called it "A DVD Eject".)
I aimed for a "least amount of clicks" approach, where one should only click the back button -> dpad/left joystick down -> A -> A.
If I called it "DVD Eject", a few more clicks would be necessary.
I don't know how far scripting for the Aurora Dashboard allows, but afaik, scripting does not allow the dashboard itself to behave fundamentally different, otherwise I would've scripted it in such a way where holding A or B on the Aurora Dashboard would suffice to eject/close the dvd tray, perfectly aligning with X (hold) Launch and Y (hold) Details.
If the dashboard is actually able to be scripted in such a way, please point me to potential examples or something that I could work with.
Thank you very much.

Just a thought - doesn't the Xbox 360 Guide have this functionality with Guide/Xbox -> X?

A faint memory tells me it does

Not when a dvd is inside the tray.
X is not for ejecting.
X is for signing out of the current user if logged in, or signing in if logged out.
If no DVD is inside the tray, there will be an "Open Tray" option, which can be used to open and close the tray, sure, but the second you add a game in it, the option changes to Play X.

Last resort would be adding an option to the Nova Plugin to eject/close the dvd tray, but this is not the scope of my PR.

You're right so I'll apply this change.
Thanks

The Open/Close Tray option is basically a selectable in the guide, not a special action.

Note to BadUpdate users:

If your Aurora Dashboard is crashing when ejecting the DVD drive, usually setting dvdexitdash to false should suffice.
However today this didn't work for me for some reason, so instead I commented it out to use the default set to false instead.
Seems to work so far:
