Fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and fresh isntall of xbmc 11 and I can't play any DVD-isos/imgs with menus.

Here is an output from my xbmc.log when I ran it in debug mode. http://pastebin.com/cGp23JxD

It works great in ubuntu 11.10 installed from the XBMCbuntu-cd so there is nothing wrong with my DVD-isos/imgs files.

Some error in there about "dvdnav".


Here are some more info about dvdnav on the 12.04 machine..

I too had the same problem and have posted in this thread. The errors were very similar to yours:
Code:

I have had this problem, and a friend of mine also has had it, ever since installing precise. We both have a large collection of movies, including many .iso movies, located on an ubuntu 12.04 box with a shared MySQL database serving to other XBMC instances (Windows/Mac/Linux).
I had not identified that the problem only affected .iso movies having menus, though reading the forums others suggest that may be true and certainly many of our movies do have menus.

After reading a lot of forum posts and failing to find any solutions, I eventually solved the problem by replacing the dvdplayer (/usr/lib/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/libdvdnav-x86_64-linux.so) which came from the standard Precise PPAs with another one.
I found references in the forums to a ppa containing alternative 12.04 xbmc builds (see for example: http://www.noobslab.com/2011/12/install-...ecise.html which makes reference to ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-stable). I don't know anything about this build, but I installed the ppa, and then installed xbmc from it, and the dvdplayer worked (however the build didn't have nfs, which I needed).

So I reinstalled the "standard" precise xbmc, but simply replaced the libdvdnav-x86_64-linux.so from this other build. Everything worked.

Here is xbmc log, with debugging, showing the failure: http://pastebin.com/dvyrzY7b
and here is xbmc log, a couple of minutes later, with no change except having replaced the libdvdnav library as described above: http://pastebin.com/iUSFtRgj

I am posting this on the most recent forum post I can find which makes reference to not being able to play .iso files.

I had the same problem. I "solved" it by using VLC as external player for iso and DVD. Not a very good solution since I can't use my remote for VLC. Thanks for pointing out what is wrong. I tried getting "libdvdnav-x86_64-linux.so" from the ppa you mention, but I fail for some reason (probably because of lack of Linux experience). Maybe I install from the standard Ubuntu repository even after adding the alternative ppa. Can you please upload a working copy of "libdvdnav-x86_64-linux.so" somewhere and post a link? Would be worth a lot to me.

Have anyone submitted a bugreport? (to Ubuntu or XBMC-developers?)

Thanks again for locating the bug.

(I'm also on ubuntu 12.04 64-bit)

For me installing from this ppa solved the problem.

Thank you. Worked for me too. Maybe the instructions on how to add a ppa were more noobie-friendly. :-)

This is still busted on 12.0 beta1 the live cd. Any idea if this will be fixed before the final version is released?

Yes I added this to wiki about a week ago, http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM...om_any_ppa

That should make it noobie-friendly as you say, just replace the names part on the instructions and away you go.

You also have a choice of ppas, personally I would recommend the xvba one.

Still busted, the music from the menu plays (as before) but nothing appears on the screen. I used the beta live cd with 12.04.

I then used the ppa for xbmc-nightly.

BTW: I tried this on OS X with 11.0 and it works fine.
