ISO playback with XDVD problems

[Bigmaz]

First of all i'd like to say i love this software. Just getting used to it and having trouble playing ISO's, i have been at it all afternoon, evening and night, Novice here :p when i choose my ISO file in the XDVD menu, and press play, i get a DOS window coming up saying the following:

'C:\Progra~1\DAEMON' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'C:\Progra~1\DAEMON' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'sleep' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Press any key to continue . . .

I adjusted the 'playmvpdvdiso.bat' file to the correct Daemon Tools path according to what i read on here, my 'playmvpdvdiso.bat' file contains the following:

@echo off
C:\Progra~1\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe -unmount 0
C:\Progra~1\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe -mount 0,"%2"

sleep 5
rem Leave only one of the following lines without a 'rem'

rem [Audio recompression only--Video remains untouched] [only about 30-50% cpu time]
start /low C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --sout=#transcode{acodec=mp2a,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,url="%1"}} dvdsimple://%4%3 :dvdnav-caching=7000 -I dummy --dummy-quiet --one-instance VLC:quit


rem [This one is for audio *and* video recompression..]
rem !!Carefull!! This one requires LOTS of cpu time! [80-90%]
rem
rem start /low C:\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=4096,interlace,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,url="%1"}} dvdsimple://%4@%3 :dvdnav-caching=7000 --sout-ffmpeg-strict 1 --sout-ffmpeg-keyint 16 -I dummy --dummy-quiet --one-instance VLC:quit

Is this correct? Please help me someone......... I have square eyes, lol

C:\Progra~1\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe -unmount 0
C:\Progra~1\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe -mount 0,"%2"

Shouldn't this be something like: (added quotation marks)
"C:\Program files\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe" -unmount 0
"C:\Program files\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe" -mount 0,"%2"

Because of DAEMON Tools.

Thanks HTV, thats sorted those lines, but now it comes up with an error saying:

Error
mount switch syntax error

then when i click 'ok' the DOS window comes up with this:

'sleep' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


Sorry for being a pain :p

[HtV]

I think sleep is a small program that is used to "pauze" in dos/batch files.
Maybe it's not in the right place or something like that.

google turned up with this (among 20000 others )

Again HtV, thanks for the quick reply very good support on here.

So do i need that command in the BAT file? Or can i just delete that line? Or best to download that Sleep.exe from that site you directed me to?

What about the Syntax error? Do you know why i am getting that error up before it go's to the BAt file?

Thanks again

[HtV]

I would download it, if it isn't there already. Otherwise the batchfile would "go" much to fast.
I don't know about the switch error. You might have to wait till an xdvd or daemontools expert shows up.

[Bigmaz]

Ok, thats sorted that, just means the DOS window hangs for 5 seconds, then go's off. Thats after the switch error. Thanks HtV, i so hope i get this sorted

You did follow the instructuctions from the wiki?

<H2>Configuration

Edit the config.xml in the skin directory to set your iso mount path.
Just unzip into c:\progra~1\devnz You must have VLC installed. If you want to transcode iso’s then you need to have daemon tools installed as well.

</H2>I noticed that the plugin is pretty old so I don't know if it is still supposed to work

[Bigmaz]

See, this is where i got confused earlier when i was trying to sort it, i dont seem to have config.xml in my skins directory, i only have a config.xml file in C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr. I uninstalled GBPVR, then reinstalled it to see if that worked, but still not there.

And sorry, but i dont follow you with the <H2>Configuration, is that in the config.xml file?

Did you look in skin\xdvd\? it should be in there. If you are using a different skin, try looking in the 'blue' skin' (although it should default to that if it doesn't find one in the skin you are using).

Just a thought.
