My XBMC used to work fine, but now (all of a sudden) all of my VIDEO_TS folders (fully ripped DVDs) play extras and bonus features first instead of starting at the DVD menu. They used to play just like the real DVD would play if inserted into the real DVD player.
I haven't changed anything (still Win7-64 and XBMC v10.1).
The options look ok. Please help ... I'm worried.
HTPC: Intel e6600 dual-core, ATI 5670 (HDMI), Gefen HDMI Detective Plus, Synology 12tb RAID-5 NAS
Software: Windows-10 Pro, Kodi v16.1
Home Theater: Onkyo 607 AVR, Epson 8350 Projector, Apple-TV4, BD-60 BluRay, Cisco DVR, Harmony 670
Speakers: Polk Audio Series II and Polk Subwoofer.

I fixed it !
It was the "Stack" option on the left pop-out user menu. For some reason, it must be on for video content and menus in VIDEO_TS folder to play in proper order. It also allows DVD folder to start playing by just selecting them (without pressing Play when inside one).
The best I can figure ... Stack must be on by default, or I may have discovered it must be when I originally setup this install. Then, the other day, when I routinely changed the file Sorting option ... I must have accidentally switched it off.
To the best of my knowledge, I don't need the Stack feature for it's intended function, but it definitely must be on to play DVD folders properly. I hope this helps someone later as they search for a cure.
I think I will see if it can be added to advancedsettings.xml (in case I ever accidentally switch it off again ... a XBMC restart will fix it).

I looked in guisettings.xml for anything with the word "stack" in it.
My advancedsettings.xml file looks like this now:
<advancedsettings>
<fullscreen>true</fullscreen>
<stackvideomode>1</stackvideomode>
<treatstackasfile>true</treatstackasfile>
</advancedsettings>
... but it doesn't help. If the Stack option gets turned off, and XBMC is exited and restarted, it's still off... Hmm, ideas anyone?

Where did you get those advanced settings at? I do not see them listed in the advanced settings wiki page at all.
I'll have to grab a dvd and rip it to test your issue.

Yes, my VIDEO_TS folders play fine regardless of the stack setting.
Did you look at my code example? I don't believe it is <stackvideomode>, instead it should be <stackvideos> with a true or false value.

Ahh. I am on Eden. I did copy that straight from my guisettings.xml. There is a chance the settings changed.
