Hi all,

1st post so go easy on me Cool

Fairly new to all this Media Centre stuff, and after tooling round with Windows 7 MC and found it clunky and not very customisable someone pointed me in this direction.. and what a great pointer it was, gotta say well done to all the guys involved in XBMC Nod

Anyway, I've started to rip my DVD collection to my HDD, but im having a few issues getting them to show in XBMC Movie Library properly
Ive been using dvd shrink to rip them, just taking the main movie, 1 audio stream and the English subs.
When doing a library scan on the folder it will add 2-3 versions of the movie, i assume its picking up the IFO files as well.
Im using Aeon Showmix mod (which rocks), lastest Alpha of XBMC on Windows 7.
File structure as follows :
Z:\
->My Videos
-->Movies
--->Movie Name
---->VIDEO_TS
----->.vob & .ifo files

Ive set scan recursivly on the scraper to get to the bottom folders.
Ive hidden the IFO files in windows and set XBMC to not show hidden files.
Other than deleteing the IFO files and just keeping the VOB, im out of idea's.


I have tried using MakeMKV to put it all into 1 container, but it seemed to bodge the FPS and audio sync.
Ive tried packing them into an ISO which does work but then seems to miss some of the meta data about the file format.

Is there something I can do so XBMC will just read the vts_01.vob from the VIDEO_TS folders, without having to delete the IFO files?

Which brings me on to another question, I have ripped some films and deleted the IFO files, and have no problems with them, audio, subs are fine etc, but the film duration shows as 10mins? (full film is there though).. I assume this is something to do with losing the chapter data in the IFO file?
Is there a way to rebuild the IFO without having to re-rip.


ps I have read through the Wiki, and done a forum search and cant seem to find anything on this subject, unless im blind/dumb/both.

Thanks!

I would recommend that you get rid of the VIDEO_TS folder. Just put the .vob and .ifo files under the movie name folder. DON'T scan recursively and DO use folder names for lookups. This works for me.

Removed the VIDEO_TS folder and also removed the My Video folder so my structure now is

Z:\Movies\<Movie Name>\xxx

Also changed the settings as you suggested

But im still having problems getting it to play the dvd's corractly

It seems the XBMC picks up the VIDEO_TS.ifo as the movie instead of the VTS_01_1.vob
So when I try to play the movie from within XBMC it just does nothing.

Ive tried editing advancedsettings.xml to exclude ifo files but then it doesnt even pick up the movies at all.

that is correct - the ifo IS what makes it a dvd and it should stack it down to the ifo's.

do what you should have done in the first place and do a PROPER request for help. see my signature.

Call me stupid but I have already looked through the manual, and have read the FAQ & searched the forum as far back as 2005.

The only thing relevent in your signature is about submitting a bug report, which I wouldnt associate my problem with. I was assuming that im just doing something wrong.

I did notice that it mentions file size, this file happens to be 6.5GB

Getting help here is like trying to get blood from a stone.

Given up trying to use the built in player and setup so it will use MPC as external player, works a treat!
