Well i did some more testing.. With
Dvd2xbox 4.8 every time i tried putting the disc in it detected it as Xbox Software..
Dvd2xbox 5.0 i didn't test alot but it seemed about 1/4 of the time it would detect it as xbox software the rest as Video 11mb.. I would eject it out and Spin the Disc ~ 1/4 of a turn and put it back in.. Don't know if that helps or not..

Dvd2xbox 5.0 with the Remount commented out.. i just get Unknown it never shows anything else..
And i couldn't get the CVS version to work.. It would just come up with the DVD 2 Xbox background and i wouldn't get any menu's or anything..

the remount has to be in but you could dig inside the remount function and comment the partition check.
I dunno why the CVS doesn't run ... try to make an empty folder called patches beside the media folder and see if it works.

....
Nonsens, the patches folder should have hothing to do with it. I had to change the detect media a little bit to make it work with some other changes.
Play a little bit with the pointer creation "CCdIoSupport* cdio;" and see if this has to do with your problem.

Just to add to this:

I have backed-up over 30 of my games so far and have NEVER had one single problem with any of my games. I havent been using DVD2XBOX long (since 4., I have done every variation, I have inserted disc while on Evox then started DVD2XBOX which worked fine, I have inserted disc while DVD2XBOX was loaded, Then copied, then inserted another disc which also worked fine.

It's worked flawless for me, I couldnt live without it. Keep up the good work

DynaMight what drive do you have in your Xbox because like mine is a Thomson and Scoobydoobydoo is also.. And i can confirm with him.. If i put the disc in while in avalaunch or evox dvd2xbox 5.0 will read it fine.. But when i eject and put another then i have the problems.. if i keep ejecting and loading.. like 1/4 times it will properly detect the dvd.. I am going to test in my other xbox that has a Samsung and see if that was has no problems what so ever..

Mines a Phillips drive...

When I copied all my games onto the HDD, I just copied it, when it ejected I put a new game in there, Copied it, waited for it to eject etc, I did that for about 10-15games in a row...

I have tested 0.4.9 a good bit and here's what I came up with... hope it helps... Running from latest evox with 1.0 box, thompson drive, x2 lite and x2.2 pro. Can load a disk in evox or in dvd2xbox and reads fine. Once finished if I try a second disk, it picks up the video file then, every time. Once it sees the video, I can exit back to dash or IGR (x2) and it still sees the video in evox. BUT if I go back to the dash first before inserting the second disk, everything reads fine. So for me it only occurs with consecutive disks and it does every time... I can try 0.4.8 and 0.5.0 if anyone wishes... hope this helps...

wow i read this and thought i wrote it ..  this is my exact setup and problem as well ..  great app tho, thanx :]

0.4.8 would be nice, thanks.

[scoobydoobydoo]

ok, did a LOT more testing for you...  if any of this has been stated before, please forgive me for repeating it again...  

Tested 0.4.8...  worked flawlessly.

Further tested 0.4.9:  realized I was mistaked when I claimed that it always read the disc correctly the first time...  this was simply because I would insert and allow the drive to initialize from my dashboard.  After a couple of hours I came up to an error rate of about 75%.  When error occurs, it sees a folder called "VIDEO_TS."  This folder contains: "VIDEO_TS.BUP" (12KB), "VIDEO_TS.IFO" (12KB), "VIDEO_TS.VOB" (78KB), "VTS_01_0.BUP" (12KB), "VTS_01_0.IFO" (12KB), and "VTS_01_1.VOB" (11924KB).  If you opt to transfer this to your HDD it chooses "SEP13011042" as the directory name every time.  

Once DVD2XBOX saw the disc in this manner, I left it in the drive and hopped from program to program (boxplorer, evox, mxm, ava, flash fxp) and they would all see it the same way unless a reboot occured.  I also hopped from different versions of DVD2XBOX just to make sure...  I booted from the latest builds of EVOX, AVA, MXM, and a True Blue MS Dash and the error rate was always consistant.  

Finally, I opened XBMP (still looking at the DVD disc, not my HDD), and looked at the disc from its video file browser...  it showed the .ifos and .vobs...  I attempted to play the files and was actually successful...  "VIDEO_TS.IFO" and "VTS_01_0.IFO" both play a video that I have read about on the forums before... some shit happens, forms an xbox logo, then explodes.  "VTS_01_1.VOB" also plays this, but I encounter a slight hang with my current settings.  "VIDEO_TS.VOB" causes the screen to go black momentarily, then it returns.  

Also, I forgot to mention previously that I am using X2 4977 BIOS.  

Sorry for the long post, but more information is better than not enough right?  Hope this helps you, you have a great program here!  If I can be of any further assistance lmk.

[WiSo]

Thanks for the detailed information. I appreciate the work !
@scooby: I'm suprised that XBMP could detect the disc properly. Did you change the disc after starting XBMP to let
it know that the media changed ?

from 0.4.8 to 0.4.9 I changed the iosupport from XBMP to the new XBMC/Avalaunch code which has one major differents in the remount function: the partition check.

@masterslave: Did you make progress while compiling 0.5.0 with the partition check disabled ? I would like to know if this make any differents.

Thanks to all !

[WiSo]

I think I understood. The question is: when you then open the dvd and close it again does xbmp see any differents ?
If not it would make no sense to disable the partition check in the iosupport because this is the only differents in the remount function.

[scoobydoobydoo]

ok, checked xbmp like you wanted.  upon ejecting and reloading it recognizes it properly every time.  I also checked to see if it may be a clock issue, no luck with that though...  if you need anything else lmk.

Hey WiSO i just wanted to Say that i checked out 0.5.1 and i haven't gotten a Video 11mb yet on the Games ejecting them and putting them back in while Dvd2xbox is running.. Thanks for the fix.. and I think i know why CVS was never running for me.. I have noticed with the xml if you are missing 1 tag or you have a tag wrong it will always start at the intro screen and never give you your first menu.. i found this out by putting <xboxip>192.168.0.10/xboxip> i forgot the closing <  and it woudl cause it to hang there..

[WiSo]

Thats the xml parser. Maybe I use it wrong or the tiny thing takes all too serious :-)
It should understand comments but when I insert them the app hangs again. no time to fix it yet.
but if you have some time ... maybe  

[dzv]

Am I the only one having problems with 0.5.1 ??

I still can't access the HDD Browser, it just freezes up the Xbox when I hit B.  I've tried editting several parts of the .xml file, and I even tried re-installing the program with the default .xml file.  It still won't work.  What's going on?

[Saphirix]

I might as well throw in my problems, but I am not sure if this will qualify as one.

I modded my Xbox without a Modchip, it now boots directly into Evox and I got backups to play on it and all from the HD, sending it thru my PC after having to manually sign the .xbe files and all.

Anyway I don't know if it's because I opted to not use a Modchip to boot my Xbox into Evox but I also get this message 100% of the time, it only sees 11MB of Video and it extracts the .vob files. At the same time I notice in my Evox main menu, when I put in a Xbox game after all has booted it says its "Video". I am not sure if my non-chipped Xbox has anything to do with it or not.

Any ideas?

[Schultz]

Saphirix: You probably have a Thomson drive and alot of this thread is about that problem you have.. Have you tried the latest 0.5.1 it solves the 11mb Video problem.. the other way is put the DVD in and let EvoX load the dvd but not play it.. and then go into Dvd2xbox and it will show up as a xbox software disc..
