ISO files

Is there a way to play .iso files in NPVR/Movies? That doesn't seem to work for me. I can play them in VLC.

If you've got Daemon Tools installed then they should play.

Use Virtual Clone Drive instead of Daemon Tools, works better.

Thank you. Installed Daemon Tools and they seem to work now.

Had trouble with Daemon Tools so uninstalled it and installed Virtual Clone Drive. Easy enough to do and to mount an .iso to a virtual drive. But, can I then play that via NPVR/Movies and if so, how? I see how to add a virtual drive to NPVR/Movies via settings but it doesn't play when I select the movie from the movie menu.

I prefer Virtual Clone Drive from Slysoft - it's free and not full of spyware.
You just point NPVR in settings DVD Iso settings to the Daemon.exe in the Virtual Clone Drive Folder.

Thanks so much. I was trying to do it in the Movies section, which wasn't working at all!
