Full Version: multi-session data DVD
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
UPDATE: found a workaround, I put in /etc/fstab
Code:
/dev/cdrom       /media/cdrom   udf,iso9660 user,auto,exec,utf8 0       0

Now media is mounted automatically upon insertion and XBMC (although not playing that automatically) is able to browse DVD and play. I'd like to hear if anybody knows if this limitation would be removed in future XBMC versions.

Original post:

Hello, I burned a video file over a DVD+R that had a bootable session already, hiding the files from the first session. Now I ended up with a multi-session DVD with only one file in all iso9660, RR and joliet file-systems. I have verified that. Unfortunately putting the disk into the XBMC box (a fedora 18 install) it does not play. I see in the log it trying to play files that were available only in first session. See at bottom.

So am I correct in thinking XBMC sees only first session? Now this DVD is not a big deal because I can burn a fresh one. But I'm used to append DVDs with new data from camera and copying to disk, then burn again a fresh DVD is a PITA. Old media too. I see in a wiki page [1] that this is a known limitation of XBMC.

Are there any plans to remove that limitation? Any workaround?
