Subject: [mythtv-users] Mounting a DVD iso image - There must be an
easierway?

I have an archive of ISO files sitting on a server mounted NFS to my MythTV
backend.  Each ISO file is in its own directory.

MythTV sees the iso files within their folder but when I attempt to
mount/watch the DVD xine flashes a dialog:

-----------------------------------------------------
xine engine error

There is no demuxer plugin available to handle
video/DVD/101DalmationsISO/101Dalmations.iso

Usually this means that the file format was not recognized
-----------------------------------------------------

.. the same one as when you try to open the file directly in xine through
it's menus This message only appears for a couple seconds and then goes back
to the description of the video.


What I've tried so far:

added the .iso and .ISO extensions to the file types

set the player settings Default player to: 'xine -pfhq --no-splash dvd: %s'
or 'xine -pfhq --no-splash %s' or 'xine -pfhq --nosplash %s/'

none of these options has worked.

The only thing that has worked is mounting the ISO manually:

mount -o loop -t udf path/imagename.iso /mnt/dvd_image

then playing with the 'Play Dvd' command:

xine -pfhq --no/splash /mnt/dvd_image


It seems like the normal methods don't try to mount the image automatically.

Could there be some command or setting missing?  I'm using FC3 if that makes
a difference.
