Replay DVD ISO files
#1
Hi,

from my previous media center software there exist a lot of ripped DVD's as ISO images (using file name extension .iso). According to the Wiki Kodi is able to replay them - but when I use the menu "Video" -> "Files" to navigate to the location of these images, Kodi does not recognise them.

So...how can I announce these files to Kodi so that they can be replayed again?

Thanks!

not recognize as in not list them or as in not being able to play them?
i'm gonna guess the latter: what you have is likely not dvd isos, but wrongly ripped iso9660 isos. kodi can only play proper dvd isos (udf 1.02).

to check use 'file <iso>' on command line. it should say 'udf somethingsomething' and not 'iso9660 somethingsomething'

if they are iso9660, you can
1) mount them and play the directory (slightly painful)
2) mount them, then create a proper dvd iso using
mkisofs -dvd-video

No, it is "not recognize as in not list", means I can't even see there are some ISO files to be replayed. As far as I know, they have been ripped from the DVD via "dd" command line tool internally...
