Hi!
I'm using my Raspberry for about a month and tried several things (including a little overclocking) and I'm sure at the beginning DVD playback wasn't an issue - but now it is. (and of course I've bought the license for MP2 and VC1 codec).
I've picked one of my dvd's just for demonstration purposes, in the end I've problems in each dvd.
Please take a look at the video showing the problems:
# the video of the universal-trailer that starts directly at the beginning of the dvd-playback disappears after a couple of seconds, but comes back a few seconds later.
# after the trailer there should be immediatly the first dvd-menu for language selection - but it's not coming...
# (in other dvd images I sometimes get the menu, but when I choose an item from the menu nothing happens.. playback locks up and I can stop it - but no chance to navigate through the menu as expected)
Heres the video:
RaspberryPi DVD playback error
(at the beginning you can see the RPi with the USB-Stick where the dvd is stored, the XBOX-IR-Receiver and the original DVD
It needs a password: raspberry
So at first I though it might be a bad rip, but as you can see on the video it's possible to play the .vob file that contains the trailer without any problems - only when it's played as part of the dvd it makes problems, so the files are correct.
I've tried the following things:
# play directly the disc with a connected dvd.drive >> same-error
# play from the ripped folder >> error (as seen in the video)
# play from a ripped iso file >> same-error
I've tried 4 different distributions on different sd cards with different version (frodo and gotham builds):
# raspbmc
# openelec
# xbian
# raspbian-xbmc
and I get exactly the same problem in each of them.
I also tried 2 different TVs and different power supplies, different sources (USB, network SMB and network NFS), XBMC install to sdcard and to usb stick... but nothing made a difference.
But I can play the rips successfully on XBMC-Windows, XBMC-Android and XBMC-Openelec-Generic-x86 - so the ripped files are not damaged.
Any ideas?
I'm running out of ideas... ordered a 2nd RPi yesterday so I can compare results on another unit.... but it will take a few days until I get it.
Can this be a hardware defect? But in case it is - why can I play the VOB file without a problem and only when played using the dvd-structure the problem occurs? And why is everything else working? In case it's not a hardware defect - why can't I find anything about this issue on the net?
If not the slightest idea what else I could try....
