Full Version: AppleTV not shoing external DVD media

I have a USB DVD drive connected to the AppleTV and it works fine when playing DVDs. However, I have converted some DVDs to MP4 files and combined them on DVDs and they do not show up in the /Volumes directory. Is there another way to access the disc?

The output of mount is:
Quote:/dev/disk0s3 on / (local, read-only, journaled)
devfs on /dev (local)
fdesc on /dev (union)
<volfs> on /.vol
/dev/disk0s4 on /mnt (local, journaled)

Edit:
I am running SVN:33324

xbmc.log is showing a bunch of these lines:
Quote:20:09:34 T:56607744 M: 40513536 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuity - was:716726441.753455, should be:716716051.380176, error:-10390.373279

what format is this DVD, real DVDs follow an ISO standard.

lsvfs (if present on the atv) will show all filesystems that the os knows about.
I don't have lsvfs, but the DVD is ISO 9660.

ls /dev/disk*

disk0 is the internal disk, if you don't have any other disks connected, disk1 will be the USB drive.

disk1 is shown when I run that command, but it still doesn't show in /Volumes. I burned a new disk using a different computer and a different brand of disk and it is the same result.
So I have been able to get the DVDs read, but it seems like this is not how it should be done. My goal here is to insert DVD, scan the media to the library and when played, XBMC says can't find title on DVD001. I would even be happy if I could just get it to work without using SSH. Please let me know what I am missing.

Here is how I can play from the DVD:
Inserted disk
Created a directory: sudo mkdir /Volumes/DVD
Mounted disk: sudo mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/disk1 /Volumes/DVD
Created a source to view the videos in XBMC

At this point I can watch the videos; however, when I want to change disks, I have to unmount the drive and start over. I don't think I will put up with this, but I know my wife won't bother. Any help is greatly appreciated.
