Has anyone tried testing with IFO/VOB rips of DVDs rather than ISO?
I tested earlier with two rips, With one, I couldn't get it to start at all with the first master IFO and only managed to get it to play with the first VOB of the main movie, which of course was only a short part (16mins I think) of the movie so it stopped at the end of that.
With the other, I got the menu playing but then couldn't do anything to make it start playing. After some time and mashing keys (not sure that made any difference) the movie did start playing but only audio, with the video stuck on a single frame. I'm not sure whether that was with dvdplayer or omxplayer but I got it playing with the other one but then the picture got stuck after ffwding/rewinding and after a while XBMC restarted.
I'll re-test with debugging on when I get a chance, so that I can upload the logs and note exactly what happens but thought I'd check if anyone else has had similar problems or if it's just not designed to play such rips at the moment?
By the way, what does the Hardware Acceleration (OpenMax) option in settings signify? It's on by default but I presume this isn't anything to do with accelerating those formats that the RPi does natively, as I can't imagine why anyone would would to disable this, particularly as the CPU isn't powerful enough to decode them by itself.
