rubin,

probably most efficient solution would be to go to Kmart and buy BRPlayer for 50 bucks. put it under the carpet and connect to second hdmi input of your tv or AVR set.
...
isn't there a service from Apple for movies like iTunes Match for music? like you put the cd/dvd into drive and it will bond the license to the particular album/track to your account - as you would be bought it electronically. in Slovakia this is available only for music, so don't know. other countries.

RE: USB 2.0 DVDRW can't read DVD
so I tried the dvd attached. with a small fix on usbmount, if it is joilet / iso9660 - data cd/dvd, it get's properly mounted under /media and notified with xbmc popup.

unfortunately dvd video - nothing. even after instalation o libdvdread4 and libdvdcss2 and libdvdnav. I suppose the support is to compiled in. Koenn ?

BUT PLAYS NICELY WITH MPLAYER.

so it seems it's just the compilation thing.

yes

and mplayer relies on those libs too. so technically everything is fine.

hehe... i thought of that too... but my dominate dvd need is for in the car... :/

i notice this subject has quieted down some, just curious if it has gotten anywhere yet... i have done a lot of research on it... i'm still a lil new to XBian distro, but this method http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=17877 doesn't seem to work on the beta2... :/ the playDVD addon method does sorta work, but not satisfied with it yet... the last distro of XBMC that i was using was able to play DVDs from a USB rom... i'd just rather stay with XBian... Smile it didn't load the menus perfectly due to the menus still being an issue, but did play and skip through the movie nicely...

correction, playDVD addon don't work on XBian... :/
