DVD Player Woes

[supathug]

Hi All,

Im on the most up to date PLi image and im really struggling to play DVD files or ISOs off my NAS. DVD menus have audio - but the main titles dont and after a while, the playback starts to stutter. Media player plays back a 720p MKV file with no such problems so I know its not a bandwidth issue. Anyone know of a fix or whether dream-elite has this problem?

Feedback would be much appreciated.

I've got to be honest and have not been able to play dvd iso's on any image, thats why I was surprised when you said you could here http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/vu-d...msg305/#msg305

Hey Sic.

I was able to play them fine until I upgraded via software update. Thing is, I didnt back the thing up pre update so to go back is gonna involve a hell of a lot of messing around! Thing is, I cant even play back ripped DVD files now either. Do you know if dream elite or any other image has a better DVD Player?

I'll try Dream Elite prob tomorrow night, will let you know m8, but got admit I never been able to get any DVD iso's to play.

Have you been able to get DVD VOB files to play properly?

Have you been able to get DVD VOB files to play properly?

I've not tried m8, I'll try and find time over this weekend. Been so busy with settings up the forums and removing bugs etc..It's been taking over my life last week or so lol!

Sic - Did u try the vob files out? Any luck?

I can confirm that i have a similar issue.

I am running BH 1.3 image - I have a DVD image on my Home PC . The location is shared out and then mounted on the Vu+ duo using CIFS. The mount is fine and am able to manually umount and mount without issue. Im able to read and write to the location too.

When i use the DVD Player in the image, it just seems to stutter. Network is fine...Dont see that being an issue? Anyone else come across this apart from supathug? Has anyone been able to try this and replicate?

Thanks.

In all honesty I've never been able to get dvd player to work. I'll have another go later today with OpenPLi.

I have a feeling the aSupathug suggested that Pli was fine. Might be an issue with BH.

All,

I have seen several comments from PLi site about DVD and video media playback (divx, Mkv and avis) issues after the update on 18th April.

Its something to do with 4.5 drivers. Some users have reported no issue but others have.

I havent updated my openpli since because of these issues but will try it over the next few days.

Cheers for that dude.... i have posted something on the DE site...see if anyone has any further information there. Will report back if anything comes of it.

Just had a quick play with this. Mounted a shared virtual DVD drive from networked PC. Tried to play DVD through DVD player and did stutter a lot. I then played it back as if you where playing back a recording, played fine. Only draw back is I think you would have to play each VOB file to view the movie. One good thing I found though was that is played back with the correct resolution.

Hi,

I did try the DVD player with a USB xbox360 HD drive and it played just fine on VTI image, not tried it recently though.

sic@ did you have the actual DVD files (VOB) or did you try it as an iso? I believe the DVD Player mounts the ISO and runs the dvd as per normal?
