Why some DVD ISO files plays and some don't?
#1
Every DVD iso file I have runs fine on VLC player but half of them won't run in XBMC. It either won't start at all or it bugs out in the DVD menu.

I have the same problem with Iso's not playing they load very very slow. Luckily I dont have many Isos left , shrinking them into mkv files . My mkv's play fine ? no idea why one plays fine and the other doesnt.

one thing could be iso's that is not in proper udf format (as mandated by the dvd standard) we don't support other types.

If they bug out in menu that is a different story. Would definatly need a debug log and probably a sample to fix.

If they work on camelot but not now i would really like a sample. Do same thing happen if you extract the files in the iso to a directory and play the video_ts.ifo file?

I am having a similar issue. For me svn29158 worked fine for iso and DVD file playback. But when using svn29173 the video seems to play in the background. The filename turns yellow and there is sound but no video. The same can be said when trying to kick off the DVD image with the VIDEO_TS.IFO file.

Elupus, how can I get you a sample if you still want one? Here is my log from an iso that does not work. http://pastebin.com/7zZ9aHWt Im not great on reading these but you can see it says the video stream closes right away. This same iso will play in svn29158.

Let me know if you want the iso I can setup a quick ftp server.

Can this be moved to the general support area. I dont think it belongs here.

Fixed in svn (ie the failure to start)

Just tried svn29243 and it seems to back at the same issue as a couple days ago where the DVD kicks off but doesnt have a any video.

Whats weird is that I can hit tab quite a few times and sometimes the display will come up. Once you hit the tab key once its like the skin's OSD think the video is on top because it will freeze. The debug at the top will freeze once layer but will have anotehr layer overwriting it and the timestamp on the video will freeze. Then you hit tab again and it continues.

Edit: So after playing a bit more I think that the menus are what is screwing up XBMC. Or vice-vera. Once I turn off "attempt to skip introduction before DVD menu" I can get the DVD to start. But once it gets to to a menu it starts to act odd. You still hear the sound from the menu but the video will still be on the previous screen. Even the movable highlighter will show up but not background menu. Then it will finally (most of the time) get to the menu.
