I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but is ther a way to buffer/download the whole movie and then play it in "offline mode" (ex. sitting on a plane)

Unless there's a script that enables it, you have to copy it manually using ssh or some other means to get the file on the iPad.

My idea is to have all my movies on my old drives but not plugged into anything. Then I browse them in XBMC and when I want to play one it'll tell me to "insert disk X" and play. Is there any plugin available to do this?

Thanks for any advice guys.

Hi,

I have installed XBMC Eden ONLY for this purpose. Can anybody guide me to a decent step by step tutorial to create a library of movies / offline DVD collection where the files are not stored in the same machine as XBMC?

TIA
