xDVD getting SQL error

[Jwatts]

Hi all,

Running GB-PVR 97.9, pushing the video out to a (wired) MVP. Since the DVD drive on the pc is much less sensitive to scratches than the player in the living room, thougth that I would give xDVD a shot. Installed the VLC player, then xDVD (modified settings.xml to point to dvd drive). When I try to play anything thru it, I get "An OLE DB Provider was not specified in the ConnectionString". Tried ripping the dvd to the drive and running it off the folder and get the same error.

Appreciate any suggestions.

I've posted a patch for it, but I'm looking for some people to test it out and give me some feedback before releasing it to the wiki. It's been working great for me so far.

Thanks. Pulled down the patch and it seems to have helped. If I rip a DVD to the hard drive, it will play thru the MVP. Locally, GBPVR only gets audio, no video. Tried playing directly off of the DVD and got nothing. It can see the drive and creates the dvd.mpg, but it is only 4 bytes in size and never gets any larger. Would that be due to DRM restrictions?

Again thanks for the patch!

I just tried the same thing here at home. It does the same thing on the local machine. On the MediaMVP its fine.

I'll try to look into it on Friday and see if something jumps out at me.

I'm not sure out the DVD drive issue either. I've only ever used this plugin for playing ISOs on the mediaMVP so give me some time to look into it.
