Mount network optical drive as where local drive - ferdyvw - 2011-09-06

Would be great to have the option to mount a dvd disc, via the network, as where it present in a local optical drive.

Now, i can acces the Vobs etc via file add location, but it doesn't let me mount an dvd like it is not over the network. So including a 'optical' drive shortcut in the main menu, with the option to automount/play the disc in de the drive where it is pointed towards.

A lot of mediaplayers don't come along with an opticall drive, but we might stille have our old collection to play Smile

I use the skin Aeon Nox and it has "play disc" on it's main menu so it should already be possible. At least in Eden.

Edit:
Sorry just read again and missed the part you want it over network.

Anybody a suggestion?

I'm not sure if this will work. However, if you're using windows you may be able to create a symbolic link to the network optical drive from your PC. I'm very skeptical that it would even work but may be worth a shot.
