avi on DVD-ROM
« on: September 21, 2007, 10:57:55 am »
Hi,

I assume LinuxMCE should be able to recognise a set of .avi files on a dvd or cd ROM when it is inserted and present them for playback?  If this is the case I have yet to get it to work, and would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.  I've tried with several different CDs and DVDs with avi files on them, mostly divx3 content.  The files are recognized and played back from the KDE desktop, but the orbiter only says a CD has been inserted and nothing more.  With audio cds it starts playing the tracks.  I've checked DCERouter.log which gives me this after inserting a cd:
Code: [Select]

This is the one thing I'm lacking from a perfectly usable set up for my living-room media playback, so I'm very eager to get it working.

Wow, I found this old post and was surprised to see someone having the same problem.  If anyone knows why this happens or how to fix it I would love to know.

Thanks

same issue. Is this just a thing with LinuxMCE? where it cant use the Disc drives for data? (i.e. .avi, mp3 etc)

The Disk Drive device, currently does not support this. We would of course, welcome a patch to do this.

thanks for the reply. Now I gotta learn how to do a lil programming so I can actually contribute to this community, instead of just taking.
