RatDVD, hmmm

[reven]

im finally able to playback a ratdvd on my htpc, it turns out ffdshow was screwing it up (just incase anyone else is pulling out their hair, btw im now bald). anyway, i got it to work in Media Player 10, and NVDVD but for some reason i keep getting this error in GBPVR

Code:

14/08/2005 6:19:11 p.m..687    VERBOSE    [2]    About to play DVD volume: d:\my videos\dvds\Dazed and Confused.ratDVD\

and ive got no more hair to pull out (so i guess ill start on my eyes). sub any idea whats going wrong? is it something i can fix? ive no longer got ffdshow on my system (will try and update it and see if it works).

ive been able to play ratdvds thru myvideos if i use the playvideofile(string) api call, which allows me to navigate the menus (using the mouse only, which is expected) but when i click to play the movie (or any trailer etc) it stops.

if i use the video library i get the above error, if i play it thru the api call
playdvdfromiso(string)
i get the above error, oh btw that is the call i should be using right? there isnt a new one say playratdvd?

i konw i should have tested this in the prerelease but errr i wasnt sure about ratdvd, im still not sure, im at the stage im just so frustrated with the bloody thing i want to kick it, but i also want it to work, ive wasted the last few days with this (took 10hours ish to rip the dvd).

also gbpvr can (in theory) play a rat dvd like any other dvd right? like we can navigate using the same remote commands, yellow = next audio, green = next subtitle etc? or is the mouse required to navigate the menus?

thats enough of my bitching..

I have a feeling this will make it worse but the current version of Divx supports some sort of menu/chapter function too.

When you run of out eye lashes and you can start pulling toe nails.

the menu support for divx 6 in gbpvr is ok, divx has this little box that pops up to allow u to navigate, you need to use the mouse, but it works. i love the fact divx now supports mutliple audio tracks, i can now switch between them (once again with the mouse) instead of them being all mixed into one audio stream like before.

Reven, I dont know if you remember the 'play dvd directory API, trailing slash thing' that another user raised a few weeks back? The API was expecting a trailing slash, but MyVideos wasnt supplying it. Anyway, I added some code to append the trailing slash if it wasnt present. Of couse I didnt remember this would break the ratdvd player because it would try to stick a trailing slash on the name. To cut a long story short....I've fixed it for the next release.

[reven]

yeah i remember, i forgot about it, but i remember, but wasnt the trailing slash to do with playdvdfromfolder ? and doesnt the ratdvd use the playdvdfromiso ? (which should have a trailing slash). unless im doing it wrong....

can you just clear this up for me, to play a rat dvd from a plugin what code should i use? (im pretty sure its playdvdfromiso, but just so we're clear, no confusion ).

[sub]

If it didnt have a trailing slash, or endwith .iso, then it was appending the trailing slash.

From memory, you can use either playdvdfromiso or playdvdfromdirectory, which both do exactly the same thing.

ok, thanks for clearing it up
