What's Best? ISOs or Video_TS

Forums are to help, not criticize unless of course it's constructive criticism which your post is not. If you want to help then great, if not why bother takes the time and effort to post? Thank for not being helpful, it shows what lack of character you have for beating up a noob.

point of the matter is i DO want to help but my will to help naturally dies when i have to tear the information i need from your/whoever asks for help's cold dead hands. can't you see how frustrating that is? so sure, my character is lacking on the front that i'm no god damn psychic.

THIS **** ^^^^^^

Simply putting .ISO at the end of a file name (or container like a dmg) does not magically turn it into a real ISO.

If you aren't terminal-phobic this might help if you have dmg's...


Disclaimer: I can NOT speak to the fact that the line indicated above WILL be an acceptable .iso in the eyes of XBMC... but it's worth a shot until someone else says one way or the other...

I took the VIDEO_TS folder and added it as a seperate folder to see if it would play and with stacking on it didn't seem to give me any problems, while on the other hand my ISO shows up great with my movie poster art but when i try to watch it nothing happens. The VIDEO_TS folder is the same that is in the ISO file, so nothing different there. Any thoughts on this?

THis post could have been said like this:

I can't get an ISO to work but I am unwilling not tell you specifically how I created the ISO in question (that failed to work) but PLEASE I NEED HELP!

Developers field TONS of posts each and every day from lots and lots of people and THEN they go off and actually try and find the time to add IMPROVEMENTS to XBMC...

To that end... it is IMPERATIVE you provide as much details as you can possibly think of so the developers who go out of their way to field peoples problems can resolve them without an enormous amount of back and forth questioning that does nothing more then to keep them from working on IMPROVING XBMC.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about...

"HELP!!!! The wife approaching alarm system in XBMC is not functioning correctly... I was almost caught watching "Super Jugs IX - NO FAKES... REALLY!!" on TWO separate occasions!!!! Lucky for me I never bothered to fix that squeaky stair... (phew!)

My system is: SE30
My OS is Mac OS 8.1
Memory: 256k
Screen: Built-in (almost HD sorta)

Running XBMC v1234567.891011

Here is a link to my log files....

Link to my xbmc.log
Link to my console.log
Link to my CrashReporter.log

When this happened the sky was blue and the temperature was 72 mild.

My dog was barking at the mailman

Beer was chilling in the fridge

Any more details PLEASE let me know...
------------------------------

I'm actually not kidding... the more details (within reason) the better chance you'll get a fix for the problem you've encountered and chances are searching the forums prior to posting a new topic will likely turn up an answer without bothering the developers unnecessarily since chances are you're not the first person running into a given problem.
