Hi there,
I got a problem with my xbmc setup: After I setup my movie library with my external dvds they are not played.
When I select a dvd I get an infobox asking me if I would eject the disc drive or play the disc (the last option only shows up when I insert a dvd movie disc). So when I select play nothing happenes but after a few seconds I get a infobox again telling me that the playback is not possible and that I should check my logfile.
The log is this one:

I do belive the corresponding lines are these ones:

Code:

13:49:03 T:5444   ERROR: CDVDDemuxFFmpeg::Open - error probing input format, C:\Users\Grinsekatze\Videos\test\matrix.dvd.disc
13:49:08 T:3792   ERROR: Playlist Player: skipping unplayable item: 0, path [C:\Users\Grinsekatze\Videos\test\matrix.dvd.disc]

My system specs:
Windows 7 x64,
xbmc Pre Eden with PVR support,
AnyDVD HD 6.8.7.0,
I made a file called matrix.dvd.disc with no content and scraped it to the movie library to represent my Movie The Matrix from 1999.

I can play the disc by pressing the CD/DVD main menu entry but not from the movie library via the Media Stubs solution (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Media_stubs).

Maybe someone knows why?

probably your codebase doesn't have some of the latest changes pulled in master (on Dec. 25).

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/8913...0696bc1f41

the above commit fixes various dvd resume issues as well as an issue with the Application that caused stubs to play the stub file instead of a "disc".

[Grinsekatze]

Hi Voyager-xbmc,
that might be the reason. I checked now the latest w32 build. But unfortunately it's from the 24th of december. The latest nightly build is older (from 10.12.). So seems as if I have to wait for a newer version.

But anyway, thanks for the hint!

[LupinSansei]

Are you still having this problem? I think I'm having a similar problem if not the same one. When I go Movies and select a stub the little box pops up like normal asking me to insert the disc. But I can't select play. and selecting eject/load doesn't do anything Is anyone else having this problem?

[Grinsekatze]

Hi LupinSansei,
yes I'm still having the problem but I haven't tried a newer version yet because there's none for windows and I don't want to compile it from the source by my own.
My problem is like yours but when I hit eject the small dialog box disapeares. Are yoiu also using the Eden beta 1 for Windwows from the 24th of december?

Edit:
Ok I noticed there's a Beta 2 aviable now. After I updated to that version everythink works like a charm.

[LupinSansei]

I'm using beta 2 now. I was having the problem with beta 1 but seems I'm having it with beta 2 as well I have two DVD roms one is a burner. I also have Deamon tools could that cause this?

[Grinsekatze]

Make sure you use the drive with the first driveletter (ex if you have d:, e: and g: use the drive attached to d. i somehow read once that xbmc always looks for discs in the first drive.

Thanks I'll give that a try! My Deamon Tools drive was set first so I'm guessing that was the problem though I haven't tried yet I disabled Deamon Tools.
