All I have is .iso, what now? - themoller - 2011-10-28 Hi Recently bought the ATV2 as a substitute for my WDTV live. I stream from my Synology DS211 over a wired gigabit connection. So, all excited I jailbreaked the ATV2, installed XBMC with high expectations, launched an .iso file only to see it play, but with tiny stops through the whole movie and sometimes buffering on some specific DVDs. So I started viewing this forum and used a lot of time on it (+12 hours) only to come to the conclusion that XBMC can't handle my DVD iso's as i would like. My theory is it is because of the mpeg-2 format or the de-interlacing. I would also like to point out my MKVs work flawlessly, but as 80-90 % of my 160 DVDs are ripped in .iso, I am pretty ****** and I am very close to just throwing the damn thing out the window. I have tried 100's of combinations with sources, sound settings etc. Nothing works. What are my options? Do I really have to re-encode my whole collection to MKV at this time? - dieselboy27 - 2011-10-28 I've read that RC1 of aTV flash Black supports .ISO playback.

So my only option is to re-encode my entire collection with Handbrake to MKV? Or is there some clever program that can remove the interlacing without re-encoding the whole movie? Or will it be able to run the iso's with the aTV flash black? - Memphiz - 2011-10-28 themoller Wrote:Crap... So my only option is to re-encode my entire collection with Handbrake to MKV? Or is there some clever program that can remove the interlacing without re-encoding the whole movie? 3 things you can do 1. reencode/deinterlace to deinterlaced format 2. try if flash black can do better 3. wait after eden for the devs to find some speedup - themoller - 2011-10-28 Oh, just tried something. Made a sample of a DVD iso in Handbrake in MKV format but with the deinterlace filter turned off. Shouldn't this MKV be interlaced too? I can play it without any problem... EDIT. Okay took a closer look. Seems my DVDs are 25 fps PAL, so this must mean they are not interlaced, right? But then what is the problem? - Memphiz - 2011-10-28 turn the deinterlacer off explicitly in the video osd for beeing sure... - themoller - 2011-10-28 Turned it off and its still jerky. What i dont understand either is the buffering that happens sometimes when playing certain dvds... - filerjunkie - 2011-10-28 themoller: I'm facing the same issue but in my case we're talking about 600 DVDs - themoller - 2011-10-29 #9 Aww, sorry to hear that. Thats a lot of re-encoding hours Done some more testing with deinterlacing turned off and it still buffers at the exact same scenes/times as before. I guess this shows that its not the deinterlacing thats causing i, but what then? - umtauscher - 2011-10-29 If I may: DVD iso playback seems to be broken in all nightlies after the Oct. 18th. Its the point where the size shrinks from 41M to 38M. I reinstalled the old version yesterday and iso playback is back to normal. The problem with the newer nightlies is, that they are buffering about every 30 seconds.

I have no buffering at all and no stuttering/small stops. Obviously there must be something wrong with the DVD iso playback in nightlys newer than this one... - umtauscher - 2011-10-29 I can only test the http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/darwin/atv2/xbmc-20111017-78fbef8-master-atv2.deb version. The versions after that don't start, I suppose because I am using the mysql setup. Versions after that was resolved show the buffering problem. I just tested the build of 29th and it shows buffering problems. - elmartino - 2011-10-29 Hi, with the nighly build from Oct. 18th also for me now everything works fine again. This is already great - I can use my ATV2 again :-) I also browsed through Github. On 19th there was some update to the way ffmpeg is started (neon). Could this be the reason, that now it feels like only hardware-decoding is working? The fix was for iOS5, I am on 4.2.2. https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/8f95324d3844f1e09815e31523dc32c1cb6f6030 Martin |
