myVideo setDVDdirectory

[johnvk]

Hi,

myVideo plugin won't play DVD-files. This is the error received. Looks like a '\' is missing. Any clues?

12:46:28.687 VERBOSE pDvdControl->SetDVDDirectory(D:\Temp\aapVIDEO_TS\)
12:46:28.697 ERROR pDvdControl->SetDVDDirectory() failed

come on guys, this can't be too hard.
What happend to the missing '\'
Virtual Root in the settings of "My Videos" is set to "D:\temp"; "aap" is the subdirectory containing only a "VIDEO_TS" subdirectory.

What am I doing wrong?

sorry ive been putting off answering this, um im 90% sure the problem isnt with my videos, i think its with the dvd navigator, try to play dvds under different circumstances, like i usually get this problem when i try and play an iso image, when a dvd is in the drive, and it decides to play the dvd in the drive instead of the iso image. which version of my videos/gbpvr are you running? try a different dvd folder (it might just be this ripped dvd), just basically do more testing and find out exactly under what circumstances it fails.

Hi Reven,

GBPVR version 92.11
My Videos 4.1.0.0

Even after a plain install of just GBPVR & My Videos, no playback.

Tried several settings (DVD navigator / Intervideo as playback; driveletters of the DVD-drive; VIDEO_TS in the root of virtual-folders or in subdirectories; different DVD-rips) ; but none worked. Under no circumstance, I succeed in playing ripped DVD's through GBPVR.

Below the log where
* temp is the virtual root name pointing to d:\temp (type HDD)
* movies is the virtual root name pointing to d:\movies (type DIR)
* InterVideo is the preferred DVD Navigator (and default Audio/Video-decoder)
* in My Videos; E: is set as DVD-drive
* in DVD&Remote-tab of GBPVR; E: is set as DVD-drive and F: as Daemon-drive
* the GBPVR screen turns black after selecting the parent-folder of the VIDEO_TS folder; after hitting "esc" I return to the screen before selecting the parent-folder, so the system does not hang.

Hope this clarifies something and gives clues to solving my problem.
Thanks in advance.

what can i say, it works fine for me.

[johnvk]

well, eventhough you haven't got the problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

What are the prerequisites for the MyVideos plugin? If you say it is standard DVD-playback functionality, what should be installed on my system? InterVideo WinDVD 6 is installed on the system.

try playing the dvd folder using "video library" and see if it works, if it does, then yes there is probably a problem with my vids.

[johnvk]

Thanks for your guidance Reven. I can confirm that even with Video Library playing the DVD-folder won't work. See logs. First error is generated by My Videos; second by Video Library. Mark that Video Library does add the backslash.

ok since its not a problem with my vids, i suggest you ask sub for support, i remember having similar issues but that was with mounting iso images (as i said before).

[johnvk]

I've already posted the error-messages in the support-thread. Thanks for pointing in the right direction.
