Any ideas how to get your plugin installed with XBMC Dharma? I'd like to try it out. I'm currently using the Live version of Dharma.

Thanks,

There are some bugs with the release 1.6.0
The project made a update to 1.6.1
I provide the debs soon for 32 and 64

Did somebody tried this on MacOS?

Hi everyone,

I have Dharma b2 on my ASROCK ION 330HT.
I've installed the plugin to play bluray.
The disk played smoothly but I don't have any sound when using the DTS channels whereas it works fine with the commentary channel wich is AC3 stereo.
I'm playing the movie directly on my TV, which is stereo.

I have updated my alsa to the 1.0.23 version.

Does anyone have an idea for me ?


Error with brackets in path - lenwar - 2010-10-23

Hi,

I found that if I want to play an ISO with a special character in the pathname on a Linux system. For example, if the path has brackets ( ) in it. The the makemkvcon process doesn't get executed.

I find this in my log:

Code:
/bin/sh: taskkill: not found
/bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Killed


I then changed this:
Code:
# Check if the file is reachable through the filesystem, to prevent errors with smb:// shares etc.
if not os.path.exists(choice) :
  self.message(_(50073))
mkvStart = '"%s" stream %s:%s' %(mystarter.settings.mkvLocation, type, choice)

into this
Code:
# Check if the file is reachable through the filesystem, to prevent errors with smb:// shares etc.
if not os.path.exists(choice) :
  self.message(_(50073))
mkvStart = '"%s" stream %s:[i]"%s"[/i]' %(mystarter.settings.mkvLocation, type, choice)

(Note the doublequotes around the 3rd %s variable in the last line). Now I can open ISO-files through which have brackets in their paths. I haven't been able to verify if this also will work for index.bdmv files.

UPDATE (wiki)
I just verified it with an index.bdmv file. I can play those now too!! :-)


Dharma Issues - brw02005 - 2010-11-01

Currently this causes my HDMI audio to crash under dharma. I have an Integrated 8200 ASLA 1.0.22.1. I cannot repeat this with TrueHD,DTS HD, DD, or DTS on other material so I assume it's a problem with how the stream is sent.

Hmm,

running the plugin on Dharma beta3 causes XBMC freeze while pressing "play disc"

Any ideas?

Regards

Oliver

idem running the plugin on Dharma beta4. no errors in MakeMKV_log but XBMC freeze so i can't see anything...


Not Working on RC1 - peterdewit731 - 2010-11-22

The plugin nowadays addon isn't working on Linux Xbmc RC1
It's freezes when you want to play a Blue Ray.

But you can read(files) from the BlueRay in XBMC and browse through the disc.

Has anyone made it work on Ubuntu 10.10?

For some unknown reason I have lost the Progress Dialog. No more starting, initalizing, waiting, etc. No more working icon, although it does play the BD eventually, but I need to keep my eye on the drive light to make sure it is still running and not in a lockup state. Any suggestions?

Thanks, but it's not working with makemkv 1.6.2. frazes after selected "play disc". I'll try makemkv 1.5.4 beta later.


- Mike8913 - 2010-12-08

This causes xbmc to freeze. any solutions?

I noticed makemkv is now version 1.6.2. could the newer version cause the issue?


- speed32219 - 2010-12-09

Suggestion to those having lockup problems. I have had none in all the latest releases of XBMC (from 26018 up to 35xxx) as well as now running on Lucid and Maverick. (9.1 & 10.10)

Go into addon settings for Makemkvcon and hard code path to /usr/bin/makemkvcon instead of just makemkvcon. Also, did you setup Makemkv by going into files --> preferences and set paths and such to the SVQ files among other things?
