Hello,

I've been running Kodi 16 for a while under Mint 17, mostly to play DVD backups (e.g., VIDEO_TS folders) stored on an SMB share.

After upgrading to Kodi 17 this no longer works. If I press P on a DVD folder nothing happens, or I get an error about an unplayable item. The debug log shows the problem to be the VIDEO_TS.IFO file that can't be played:

But if I select one of the VOB files it will play correctly.

I reverted to Kodi 16.1 and everything worked fine again. I upgraded to 17 again and got the same problem, and the log file above.

Is there a fix for this, or should I go back to 16.1?

Thanks.
