DVD does not play on MVP/GBPVR

[malikms]

I am using the wired MVP and am having difficulty playing ripped DVD's on my hard disc. When I go to my server and play the DVD's locally it works fine in GBPVR. When I go to the MVP, select the DVD and try to play it nothing happens. The title just sits there

The DVD does not have any copy protection (old home movies transferred to DVD), Daemon tools lite is installed and configured as per the wiki.

I would welcome any suggestions from anyone.

Thanks,

There no DVD playback support for the MVP. Sorry.

Thanks Sub!

Just one more question. I keep reading about PCH on various posts and that seems to work fine for DVD's. I also read about MVP & PCH working together...my question is What is PCH?

The PCH is a more modern version of the same sort of device as the MVP, but plays a much wider set of media files:

Well, maybe no direct support, but (although it no longer seems to be supported) the xDVD plugin still works for me and the MVP for both .iso files and DVDs.

Hasso,

I installed xDVD but, of course, it does not work. The forums have some information but not at a beginners level like mine. Are there any step by step directions on what exactly to do with this plugin to make it work? I am not sure what it means, for example, when it says edit the skins directory (wiki). I did find it but what goes in it escapes me.

I'm actually working on something that will use ZProcess to view DVDs. I will need some more time

I haven't actually used xDVD for several months now. When I tried it today I get the error below, so really don't know now how to get this working. There are really no step-by-step instructions. With me it was trial and error. Obviusly I'm now back to "error".
