RE: XBMC, and ISO images...

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's really the problem - the documentation is so poor, you can't
really tell what's happening ...

I'll try an ISO locally, see if that works... :

Ah - over the network. Are you sure ISOs work over the lan ? If you want

to access files over the lan you have to specify xns, smb etc in the
data
- but if you use ISO9660: how is it to know what network to use and how
?

So this line infers an SMB share (I can see that)
iso9660://KEPLER;dvd:dvd@192.168.1.26/DVDs/WEST_WING_SEASON_3_DISC
_1.ISO

But no SMB:// is specified ? Or does ISO9660: only work over SMB and is
defaulted ? But then how would local ISO9660:'s work ?

Just talking out loud here - or is my logic faulted ?

Yeah, that's in the sample .xml file, but it doesn't work (well, not in
any way you'd expect it to..)

If I do this -
<bookmark>
<name>ISO</name>
<path>iso9660://KEPLER;dvd:dvd@192.168.1.26/DVDs/</path>
</bookmark>

I connect to the share, and can see any avi files there, the ISO images
can't be seen :

If I go straight to the ISO file, like this:

<bookmark>
<name>ISO</name>
<path>iso9660://KEPLER;dvd:dvd@192.168.1.26/DVDs/WEST_WING_SEASON_3_DISC
_1.ISO
</path>
</bookmark>

I get nothing...

It's a bit annoying. : we came close to skipping/ebaying the xBox as
ultimately a frustrating and annoying failure as a media player, but
various reactions here prompted me to try again...

I'm again coming round to the idea that apart from a decent remote
control, the xBox is frankly useless - if you don't play console games,
really, what use is it? :

I guess it's the whole appliance vs tinker-toy argument. If I enjoyed
battling with the xBox, struggling to get it to do anything of value...
then I guess there's some value in that.. if I just want the damn thing
to work, well.. it falls short, and falls short badly.

Assume you are trying (in the video section)

<bookmark>
<name>ISO</name>
<path>iso9660://</path>
</bookmark>

Has anyone had any success in playing back ISO images using XBMC yet?



It's supposed to be able to do it now, but I can't see any way to do
so...
