DVD Playback from Video_TS folders

[stangdaman]

yes in my case anyways the built in video library on the main menu for gb-pvr and the version is 98.8b. I just installed it a few minutes ago. I do not however see a .dvd file listed. That may be the problem.

What exactly is your directory structure?

On my setup I have C:\DVDs\AceVentura\VIDEO_TS containing the IFO/VOB files. When I use the Video Library and browse to C:\DVDs\AceVenturait detects the VIDEO_TS subdirectory and displays the this fake .dvd item for you to play.

It is G:/my videos/movies/National Treasure

This contains the following folders:

Video_TS

Audio_TS

Uleaddmf

all the TS files are in that video_ts folder(I guess that's fairly obvious)

Try getting rid of the Uleaddmf directory.

Ok that seems to have worked. Thanks.

Here's the path I use: \\Mediaserver\d\DVD Master Directory\24 DVD\24 Season 2.2 UP\Video_TS that points WinDVD to the Video TS folder, but WinDVD won't actually start playing it. It just sits there. I can play it from Video Library, but that's not what I want; I want the controls that WinDVD offers. Any thoughts?

I cant help you with that. There is no built in support for playing DVDs with external players like WinDVD.

Hopefully the author of whatever plugin you're using will help you out.

I've been trying to play DVD's as well. I get the special file that ends in .dvd. However when I select it and press play I get:

Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

My directory is set up like this:

\\Tera\share\Movies\THE_WORLD_S_FASTEST_INDIAN\VIDEO_TS

I thought it may be having problems with the network drive so I copied on to a local drive and still got the same error.

I have attached my log files but I didn't see anything in them.

Me either. It doesnt show this error.

You'll probably need to set your 'auto start MVP servers' setting to zero, then reproduce the problem, then zip and attach the logs again.
