DVD playback recently stopped working for me. I have previously been affected by Bug #8026 and was able to workaround the problem by opening /media/TITLE as a Video source; this would initiate playback and take me to the DVD menu. Since last week, this no longer works. When I insert a disc I get the message "Mounted removable harddrive: /media/TITLE"; browsing to /media/TITLE only shows the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directories and the contents thereof; there is no file I can open to cause playback to commence (though VIDEO_TS.IFO will show me the FBI warning, thank God ;-).

Playback in VLC works fine.

I have no idea what changed to cause this problem. I haven't upgraded XBMC since June and AFAIK no relevant packages have been updated either. Any ideas?

Here is a log of the insertion of a DVD.

Have to retract the above, partially. DVD playback has changed for the worse. But opening the VIDEO_TS.IFO file does initiate playback. (I made the mistake of trying to skip past the FBI warning, which had the effect of skipping the DVD menu too (?!). If I patiently wait for the warnings to pass, the DVD menu loads as normal.)

To summarize:

Previous behavior: inserting a DVD would bring up a message saying something like "A DVD has been inserted. What would you like to do?" Opening /media/TITLE in the Video browser would immediately initiate DVD playback. (NOTE: This behavior is not ideal. It was the status quo with respect to Bug #8026.

Current behavior: inserting a DVD brings up the message "Mounted removable harddrive". Opening /media/TITLE/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO in the Video browser initiates DVD playback.

Bump.

Stack

Stack

Cryptic, but correct. I've never really understood what "Stack" was supposed to do. I must have accidentally toggled it at some point.

The skipping of menu sounds like a recent change.

Bump. I have the same issue. my DVD's also won't play in lucid with the most recent xbmc svn build.

If toggling "Stack" in the Video menu options doesn't fix it, then it's not the same issue. See the above-linked bug if you're having more general problems with DVDs.

i just tried enabling stack and they still won't play, I'll make a separate post since I have a slightly different issue. I put a CD in and it mounts as a removable hard drive, I can see the files in Xbmc, and when I try to play them nothing happens.
