With VOB's you can Fast Forward and Rewind correctly. ok its not that smooth but its still possible.

I cant even FF/RW normal video files nevermind vobs. You can skip forward 1 or 10 minutes but thats about it. DVD menus and playing from the hdd is on the todo list and always has been. But there are so many things that will probably be completed first.

I hate waiting it will be worth it in the end though

Menu handling for dvd has been worked on before, there was an almost complete port from libdvdnav in xbmp.. to many outstanding bugs in it thou which couldn't be solved.

There might be a new opening as an old dev might start looking at it again, or we might pick up his dvd player he is working on.

Don't expect anything in the imidiate future though..

People have been asking for this feature for so long, just did a search and it goes back years.  It seems hard to believe that nobody in the scene has been able to come up with an .ifo player when there are so many DVD players for the PC. If DVDX project had continued it probably would have been almost trivial.

It's a shame because DVD2Xbox which is a great program as it stands is pretty useless as a DVD ripper.

Wouldnt is be possible to get the source of dvdx and incorporate the features into XBMC?

Title: Ifo File Play For Dvd With Menus
Post by: ZWinFlame on January 22, 2004, 06:20:00 AM

It should be possible to incorporate the api of dvdlib to get incorporated into XBMC, however I believe this is a much difficult process incorporating it, otherwise it would have been done by now I perceive.

However it is a humble request to the devs out there to give this feature a closer look. We all have been waiting for this for a loong time. !

Even if it means to pay for the extra addition, I'm sure most of us wouldn't mind a small fee like $30 or something.. Just my $.02

Do you all prefer this post to be Pinned as a requested feature for XBMC for a while??

How would you go about playing the image files?

Is this development on the horizon or shall we not expect it soon? Any one has any further information on this requested feature.

Should this topic be pinned?
Vote: Yes / No !

The new version of XBMC looks promising however it crashed when an IFO file is selected to play.

Does any one have the open source for dvdX ?

Title: Ifo File Play For Dvd With Menus
Post by: ZWinFlame on February 14, 2004, 09:15:00 PM

Does any one have access to XBMC dev's out there?
It would be real nice if we could sign some petition or something to request the dvdLib implementation to get incorporated.

It would be nice if someone could reach out to the devs out at xbmc to let then know that we are all still awaiting this feature from a long time.

What do you'll think?

Title: Ifo File Play For Dvd With Menus
Post by: ZWinFlame on February 18, 2004, 09:26:00 AM

I guess this feature is just not getting the support and requests as needed. It would help guys if someone knows the dev team of XBMC !

Well, since i am in the team i would say i know them.

As it is now there is noone in the team working on it.

I do not think people know how "few" devs are involved.
I too hope for dvd menu support, but there is a real chanse we wont see it in the near future unless someone posts a patch on sourceforge that can be integrated to the existing code.

dvd image playback is in the features suggestion for version 2.0 of xbmc. (Think of that version 1.0 hasn´t been released yet)

I´ll pin this topic so hopefully new people will read through it and we´ll all be happy about less "spam" here

Thanks JayDee for the update and reply.

I'm not understanding this.
I know that the libs, etc would need porting, however why is DVD playback taking so long? (Don't read into this that I'm being ungratefull, I'm just seeking further knowledge.)
It's been said that as soon as Mplayer has something, XBMC will likley have it too, however hasn't Mplayer supported DVD playback for a while?
It doesn't go into it much, but on the MplayerHQ site (here to be specific) it mentions DVD playback support. It doesn't say it's limited or anything, is it?

It is not the playback that is the issue...

It is the MENU system that dont work.

Insert a dvd and it works (mplayer) but you can not get past the menus.

Thats the problem and not related to mplayer.

Great news that the new build of XBMC is out. When dvd is played using the ms dash, the playback is very smooth, however when vob is player without softness enabled, its very choppy.

Are there any updates on the IFO Playback capabilities from any dev's of xbmc? I know its in the feature list of XBMC though.

Title: Ifo File Play For Dvd With Menus
Post by: ZWinFlame on April 04, 2004, 04:09:00 PM

A good progress to the XBMC team. Would really prefer the menu support with screen scaling / smoothness.

Title: Ifo File Play For Dvd With Menus
Post by: ZWinFlame on August 13, 2004, 05:18:00 PM

As a request to the devs! has any further progress been made to play the menus of the dvd too?

Post by: ZWinFlame on November 09, 2003, 08:04:00 AM

Is this feature being worked on? I mean it’s been a while since all of us are requesting this feature. We know that XBMP / XBMC can play the VOB's however, there are some vobs which will only successfully play when played through the IFO file with native menus. Every time there is an update, I look for this feature's implementation.

I'm just trying to know if this is one of the features being worked on. Would really appreciate if the devs could give this feature a little thought.

Is there a way to map a folder to a drive in which dvdX would play like a usual DVD. Thats after DVD2XBOX's extraction! I'm sure it might be possible !

Any views out there by the dev's.

Post by: muerte on November 16, 2003, 03:27:00 PM

i was actually thinking about this... i might try to hex edit dvdx and find where they say d: (or partition w/e) and change that to f:video or something.

Title: Ifo File Play For Dvd With Menus
Post by: ZWinFlame on November 18, 2003, 05:03:00 PM

I tried to hex edit the file and could not find a proper location which I could edit out to a directory. It would have been better if this was an open source project.

any luck with hex edit anyone?

Isin't any one else interested in this feature?

Title: Ifo File Play For Dvd With Menus
Post by: PuddWakkr on November 21, 2003, 06:00:00 PM

I think there are many people interested in this feature. However I also think that there are alot more basic issues that should be considered first. Wouldn't it be nice to have an actuall fast forward and rewind option before you play .vob's thru an .ifo. I'm sure the dev's have seen posts on this and when everything is smooth with the basics they can start implementing more "plush" features. Patience is a virtue.

Post by: ZWinFlame on November 22, 2003, 07:10:00 PM

With VOB's you can Fast Forward and Rewind correctly. ok its not that smooth but its still possible. What I meant was that the devs don't have it in the list of things they are working on. Either way its xbmc/p are great apps. We all have been very patient and hope that some day this will get implemented.

We all were waiting for this in xbmp, and then the devs went for a whole new aspect of development with xbmc and this feature didn't get looked into too.

just my last wish..
