Hi,
I am running Kodi over an Apple FireTV stick and I could rather easily scrape my 7000+ videos (movies and TV series) over an SMB share connected to a router with an USB port.
I have then started to add my personal homemade videos, which consist of some Divx, many SVCD and DVD (all created during 1999-2004).
For all of them I have created ad-hoc poster and fanart images, plus an NFO file. I have instructed Kodi to use the local scraper (.nfo), and haven't set any checkmarks (no recursive scanning, no nothing).
The DivX are all recognized immediately, the SVCD are also recognized (although no menu is displayed - the file plays as is) but for the DVD it's a fight.
They are added to the library but sometimes, they play, and sometimes, Kodi can't find them.
Look at the two examples below, which refer to the same video:

And now I can't play it anymore. Kodi asks me if I want to delete it from the library, since this movie does not exist anymore.
I also don't understand why libdvdcss is triggered, since there is no needed decryption. Maybe tomorrow it will work again, who knows... It's a matter of trying and trying. I have 10 DVD which all had this issue. None of them would play, but yesterday and today they all play fine, and I haven't done anything.... Today I have added this Mexico video and it won't play.
This strange behavioiur only happens with IFO files - the rest always plays nice, 100% of the time.
Any suggestions on how I may be able to fix the problem?
Thanks and ciao.

Look at the two examples below, which refer to the same video:

And now I can't play it anymore. Kodi asks me if I want to delete it from the library, since this movie does not exist anymore.
I also don't understand why libdvdcss is triggered, since there is no needed decryption. Maybe tomorrow it will work again, who knows... It's a matter of trying and trying. I have 10 DVD which all had this issue. None of them would play, but yesterday and today they all play fine, and I haven't done anything.... Today I have added this Mexico video and it won't play.
This strange behavioiur only happens with IFO files - the rest always plays nice, 100% of the time.
Any suggestions on how I may be able to fix the problem?
Thanks and ciao.
