I am already using Xine in MythVideo and it works well. I don't know
how to remap some keys but that comes later. I didn't think that Xine
could play straight ISO files. I have tried it but it errors out
(not sure exactly cuz I am at work now).
As far as unaltered MPEG2 files from DVD goes, what about DVDs that
are of a TV show? Let's say I have a full season of Star Trek on DVD,
how does the ripping feature handle this?
I don't think there is an automatic lookup of synopsis and cover art
for a ripped DVD. Is that a plan for the future? How do I add
coverart and synopsis info to my videos in MythVideo? Thanks.
