DVD playback - Play Disc menu does not appear
#16
That worked 100% Smile The disc plays from menu perfectly now on my laptop which i use for testing latest nightlys etc

I then tested on my 'production' mac mini and the play disc menu appears (which never worked before) and you select it and the screen goes black as if its loading the dvd but then it goes back to the menu again.

There are a few differences between my test laptop and production setups:

Test laptop (DVD playback working fine)
OS: Snow Leopard
Laptop: Macbook Pro late 2011
Disc Drive: internal
Debug Log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=11392 (tested playing DVD casino)

Production (Black screen and back to menu):
OS: Mountain Lion
Mac Mini 2011
Disc Drive: External DVD drive
note: Can play DVD fine in VLC and other media players
Debug Log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=11390 (tested playing DVD casino)

Let me know if you need any more info regarding hardware etc

hahahahahah. Agreed. Mountain Lion has caused me plenty of troubles since upgrading. No NFS manager. What the fu$k is all that about?

Ok i have tested it on my mountain lion installation. It worked without issues. I'm using 10.8.2 - can't test 10.8.1.

just upgraded to 10.8.2 and latest nightly. The strange thing is the problem has slightly changed now. I click the play disc menu, the dvd starts up with the first menu on the disc which it didn't get to before (in Casinos case its the language menu). i select English and then XBMC goes back to the main menu. If i chose SVENSKA as the language, the DVD then displays all the copyright warnings in Swedish then jumps back to the main menu

Debug log when English selected: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=11499
Debug log when Svenska selected: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=11500

Not too sure how else to troubleshoot this

Interesting. It now is playing the dvd but the audio has a metallic stuttering sound and the video is stuttery and pixilated. XBMC then crashes: See debug log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=11506

The other thing to mention is I have force DVD region set to 2 (have also tried off) and I have skip dvd intros set to off.

Could you please test this versoin:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30371861/XBMC_libcdio090.dmg

It has the latest available libcdio in it. Please report back if this makes things any better on mountain lion.

Sorry to swear but that works a fu$%ing treat!!!!! Tested on a few different DVD's in mountain lion and playback is perfect now. no crash, no return to main menu etc. Thanks so much for sticking with it on this. Couple of questions relating to it:

What exactly is the libcdio?
Will the latest available libcdio be available in future nightly's or should i stick with this version for now?
If I want to see the changelog of whats going into Mac related changes in the nightlys etc where can I find this? Im guessing Github but wondering about mac specific changes........

Thanks again Memphiz

libcdio is the library we use for accessing the dvd drive. Well seems you confirmed it working at this very moment Wink - so i'll try to get it into the nightlies. You can see mac specific commits on github when you read the prefix [osx] or [darwin] in the commit messages.
