G'day all,

I know this has come up before and I wanted to do it, so I though I would add what I have done to get it working.

I have a large amount of DVD's that I wanted to store on hard drive so that the kids could watch without trashing the original.

I used to have them stored as separate vobs but that did just not work, I could watch the movie but the menus never worked.

After much effort I made them iso's and then mounted the iso before watching the movie.

Here we go...

As root:

First I created /usr/local/bin/mount_iso_xine



I then created the mount point


since this is going to be run my mythtv and is a user I need to create an entry in /etc/stab to allow the user to mount
Add the following to /etc/fstab



This will mount /tmp/iso_link to /mnt/iso as a loop back.

Then we need to alter the default player command to run the new script rather than xine.


and change Default Player: to


That should do it.
I now have xine playing dvd's in all there glory with menu's

Stinga

(Hope it is of some use)

just to let you know, xine can play .iso's just fine without mounting them.. i have been playing .iso's without mountin them for many months. just change add a file extension for ".iso" under:
setup>media settings>video settings>file types
(im pretty sure you have to restart mythfrontend after you change those).

xine command for the custom playline. (UNCHECK the "use defualt player")



NOTE: the trailing "/" is VERY important!!

plays all ISO's great.. =)
