Hi,
how i perform a DVD in android-xbmc x86?
I build this apk and worked.
My hardware Android have a dvd player and xbmc-android read each file how a individual video instead of a DVD with menu navigator(IFO files).

my apk have a "libdvdnav-i486-linux.so" and i believe that this library do it.

anyone know about this?

I don't think xbmc supports hardware optical drives on Android right now.
Not sure it'll ever happen, either, as I don't think any devs has an android device with an optical drive.

Since many if not most Android media player boxes have a USB-port, would a collection drive to donate a few external slim USB DVD-ROM drives to the XBMC team help this cause?

Perhaps check first if any team developers be interesting in a such project if we did a small crowdsourcing campaign like you did here http://www.gofundme.com/4f1e6w ?


Maybe collect enough money for around 5-10+ external slimline USB DVD-ROM drives or even Blu-ray Disc ROM readers that XBMC team devs and testers could work get to do this?

External slimline USB DVD-ROM Reader and USB DVD-ROM Writer / Burner does not cost that much

Blu-ray Disc ROM readers and writers cost a little more but they are more flexible since can read both DVD and Blu-ray

Blu-ray Disc readers might be the best choice in a such goal crowdsourcing campaign for XBMC devs since they then also have to option to also look att Blu-ray support too?

Well, I should have made clearer that if devs do not have such device, it's probably that they have no more use of it
So it's not so much the $35 than the fact that you might have difficulties finding a dev willing to spend time on this...

My hardware has DVD Player.

apparently xbmc-android know the dvd files, but can't create navigation menu, when try create menus appear this error in log:

ERROR: Error on dvdnav_open

wanna know if exists DVD support for android in xbmc?
or how can i solved this problem?

[Memphiz]

libdvdnav is only the half otf the story it needs physical dvd drive access (via libdvdread or what its called). And the answer is no - there is no optical drive support for android in xbmc (if even available for android at all). So what you see here is just expected imo. Without physical drive access you are not able to decrypt the dvd vob files.

[pazeto]

Xbmc for android is only a shell to call the xbmc underneath it, ie the same Linux that runs the DVD menu.

My problem is very similar to this ( http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid=321764 ), so I think it is related to the directory where the DVD is. In my case is "/mnt/DVD/".

And too in libraries that are in android project after build, apparently has all support to DVD menu.

sorry by insistence, but i need these menus

Android is missing a boat load of sys control calls for the underlying libdvdnav and its two supporting libs. I looked at it a threw up a little...

This question have been brought up again here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=206115

I do however believe that it is now supported from Android 5.0 and later, or is that a missundertanding?

Or it should also be possible if the manufacture have customer kernel and firmware for Android 4.x?

Otherwise could you not maybe hack in libcdio to access the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM?

http://www.gnu.org/software/libcdio/
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/libcdio/

What that not something that XBMC used to do in the old Xbox days?


I guess that Libdvdread might also have similar functions for accessing DVDs too, or?

Hello everyone.
I can play DVDs on my android device (atv1220). My DVD drive is detected as sr0.
The only problem is I have to navigate to video_ts folder and play first file. DVDs are not played automatically.
I'm using xbmc 13.2 Gotham.
Tell me if I can help you playing DVDs on android.
