myVideo setDVDdirectory

[johnvk]

Sorry to bother you again. See also comments in support-thread. Reinstalling InterVideo solved the problem; at least for Video Library (DVD is playing correctly), but not for My Videos (screen stays black). See log below. First try is with Video Library; second attempt is with My Videos and it seems a slash is missing.

what slash?
vid lib

18:42:01.765 VERBOSE pDvdControl->SetDVDDirectory(E:\Films\hostage\VIDEO_TS\)

my vids

18:44:31.703 VERBOSE pDvdControl->SetDVDDirectory(E:\Films\hostageVIDEO_TS\)

where you like me to put the extra slash?

try it in video arch, or any other video plugin that plays dvds, video library might have access to something plugins dont.

[sub]

From memory the DVD API requires a trailing slash for the folder name.

The video library isnt doing anything flash, it just checks if the path has a trailing slash. If it hasnt, it adds one.

[reven]

i just remember the time when "play dvd" wasnt using the same methods as the dvd api methods.

since they both have the same setdvddirectory message, one presumes that the slash isnt the problem (i cant see where he thinks its the slash that is the problem, i could be missing something but i cant see it).

[sub]

You called PlayDVDFromDirectory("E:\Films\hostage"), which resulted in E:\Films\hostageVIDEO_TS. If you'd called PlayDVDFromDirectory("E:\Films\hostage\"), it would have correctly resulted in E:\Films\hostage\VIDEO_TS

[reven]

oh crap, i missed that slash, i was just looking at the end.

i think the problem is that Directory.getDirectories(string dir) returns them without the trailing slash.

[sub]

I'll add a check in the PlayDVDFromDirectory() API in the next release so that it automatically adds the trailing slash if the plugin doesnt supply a path with one.

[reven]

ok the bug has been fixed, sorry it took so long, i just didnt see the slash (well didnt not see )

Great, guys. I'm glad the bug has been found & solved.
Thanks for your help.
