ok, I've been trolling here for about 2 weeks trying to figure out what's wrong on my system. I found several threads on xdvd including the one for the patch but my systems still not playing dvd's.
I Got a MediaMVP and gbpvr. I can get it to play mp3, mpeg, and pics no problem. Now, I'm trying to get it to play dvd's. From what i've read here, i install xdvd plugin, daemon tools, and vlc.
for xdvd, I go to gbpvr\skins\blue\xdvd and modify settings.xml to reflect the daemontool virtual cd. here's settings
<settings>
<TempFile>c:\dvd.mpg</TempFile>
<PlayMode mode="SIZE" value="150"/>
<DVDDrive>e</DVDDrive>
<BaseFileDirectory>c:\</BaseFileDirectory>
<MountDVDDrive>f</MountDVDDrive>
<ForceMvpMode>true</ForceMvpMode>
</settings
Pretty much standard. 1 real dvd player is "e", virtual dvd is "f". Installed the db patch in \plugins.
System has 3 dvd players + daemontool and 2 usb external hard drives.
I'm trying to get the dvd files on the usb hard drive to play, but no go. I can see the directories, and navigate into folder where it says "movie.dvd" and i try to play it. then, gbpvr hangs.
I setup another computer, same way and it seems to work fine.
I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here. Is it the usb drive? maybe i can't put the dvd files on a usb drive?
appreciate any help out there.
