Hi all, long time lurker here.

I have a Revo 3700 with MiNT and XBMC, which works perfectly. However I now want the ability to play original DVD's and don't want to have to buy a USB DVD drive for the Revo. I've managed to mount a drive from the Revo to my Windows 7 box's DVD drive, added a location to the drive in Locations, and can see the contents of DVD's when I browse to them.

What I need help with is the last step: getting XBMC to play a DVD when I select the external DVD Location. Playing VOB's or IFO's are hit n miss.

Any help is appreciated Smile

Thanks
