Hi,
I ran into a weird problem: I can't seem to be able to play video files (.avi) from the DVD from under XBMC.
Here is what I have:
- all DVDs I have written in DVD format play back fine.
- Video files (.avi) written on the DVD do NOT play under XBMC (none of them - I've tried over 10 different disks)
--- XBMC does seem to mount the drive and I can navigate the directory structure, but on any playback attempt I'm getting 'Too many consecutive errors encountered' or smth like that
- The video files from the same DVD can be played back just fine by Totem or Xine
- The same video files from the harddrive can be played back by XBMC just fine as well...
- the 'xbmc' user I'm running the XBMC system under is the member of 'video' and 'cdrom' groups
So, it seems that for whatever reason, once files are written on the DVD, XBMC can not play them back. The possibility of the hardware failure is eliminated by the the fact that the same DVD plays back on the same system just fine from other video players.
Codec problems are also eliminated by the fact that XBMC can play exactly the same video files from the hard drive...
Any ideas/hints what might be causing it?
I'm using the latest build ( 17631 )...
Here is a small snapshot from the log file that might be relevant to the problem:
