[hasjee]

When i start a DVD file from one of my HDDs (one connected to my pc in the network and the other connected directly to my pi) the DVD menu apears But when i make a choice in the menu like play, The pi crashes back to its start screen.

any thoughts?

Do you have DVD iso's or VIDEO_TS folder on disk?

[hasjee]

Both, And all seem to do it. Never had this problem before so my first thought was maybe something went wrong with the latest update or...

[Nachteule]

Hmmm, I can confirm the issue - happens also here

Here is a workaround:
If you have an RPi2, you can disable hardware acceleration in Video settings (both OMX and MMAL has to be disabled) before watching DVD's

Thanks for the confirmation and workaround.

I understand you have added your codec licences to be able to play MPEG2?

@rikardo1979

If you asked me - sure. License is installed. The issue happens also on Cubox-i/Hummingboard. So it is not a license issue

This issue has been solved. Tested with Rpi1 and Rpi2, both are playing DVD iso files again

A new package xbian-package-xbmc has been built and is available in staging repo

To get it, first you have to enable staging repo in file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list

Code:

deb mirror://apt.xbian.org/mirror.txt      stable  main rpi2-jessie
deb mirror://apt.xbian.org/mirror.txt  staging main rpi2-jessie
### deb mirror://apt.xbian.org/mirror.txt  devel   main rpi2-jessie

(sample file is for RPi2)

and then running following commands:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc
sudo stop xbmc;sudo start xbmc

@hasjee
Please test it and report if it also works for you.
Then I'll move this package to stable repo

[hasjee]

Wish i could, Im a total noob at this and have no clue how to ad this repo. If anyone else could test it that be great.

[hasjee]

Could somebody either test this, Or tell me step by step how to do this?

[Nachteule]

I already told it how to do it

1: log in to your RPi. This can be done locally (stop Kodi and then login with user xbian/password raspberry) if you have an usb keyboard attached or remote via ssh connection (if you have Windows putty is your friend)
2. edit file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list (see my post above) (nano is editor)
3. run the 3 commands (see my post above)

[hasjee]

Ok got it done, And can now confirm the playback of the dvd files are back to normal.

[Nachteule]

Good news

Thanks for reporting

[hasjee]

After i had a few system updates the problem returned.

[Nachteule]

Please revert to the previous version.

Unfortunately this commit was lost during last rebase. It is already fixed but package has not yet built.
