Hi,

I have successfuly compiled XBMC on Ubuntu 7.04 (following the readme.linux).

Video and audio are working nicely.

But I can't figure out how to play a DVD.

If I add a source for the DVD I can only browse the DVD as a directory (AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS) but can't play it.

Any idea? even if there is no support ;)

Thanks

On the Xbox version there is an autorun option:

Not sure it applies to the Linux port though.

Shouldn't it then be default on?

Thanks for the reply

hmm, I've check that already but no luck with xbmc. I can play a DVD with mplayer.

Do I need to add a specific entry in sources.xml for my dvd or is it "autodetected" by xbmc ?

I'll run in debug and let you know.

Thanks .

Here a part of the log :

So for some reason it can't find \Device\Cdrom0

/dev/cdrom does exists ...

Any idea ?

Thanks .

it looks like you burned your DVD-Video wrong, it can not be ISO9660 nor a ISO9660/UDF hybrid, it has to be burnt as a DVD-Video (which is pure UDF 1.02). Can you try a couple of original bought/retail DVD-Video discs instead of copies/backups?

PS! Also upload a full log onto pastebin.com and post the link here.

Also I can play DVDs on the same box using vlc (/media/cdrom0)

I posted a fix for this yesterday. Can you please check with latest SVN and report back?

Thx.

I just tried the latest build. I can play individual .vobs under VIDEO_TS but cannot find a way to navigate the DVD Menu.
Also manually tried setting XBMC_DVD_DEVICE to my DVD device but no success.
