Play from dvd drive over SMB
Is there any way I can play a physical dvd? I can see the folder and files on the dvd, but there are problems:
1. Everything is black. Is this because I lack the codec serial number for MPEG2?
2. The dvd drive makes bonk-bonk-bonk noises
3. I want to play the entire move, not just single files
4. I need subtitles

I have XBian 1.0 Alpha 5.

better stay away from this on RPi... to much hassle as XBMC on RPi never meant to support DVD

I backup my DVD's as ISO. These seem to play flawlessly over a network - and the whole file without a stutter.

However, you have to remove the menus and just backup the main movie. DVD menus do not always work, sometime they do, othertimes, they don't.

You need a MPEG license to play these files. Or convert to mp4 or mkv and you don't need a license.

Please read before you post
