[mythtv-users] vlc for ISO-files

Hi,

playing DVDs with the internal player works fine. But playing DVD ISO files
looks garbled. So I would like to use vlc as player for ISO files.
According to http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VLC I should use

       vlc file://%s vlc://quit

But "%s" is replaced by an URL beginning with "myth://". This kind of URL
is not working for vlc. A workaround could be to use a script, that parses
the URL and passes the relevant information to vlc. But for vlc being able
to find the file I think I would need to mount a file share... it is
getting more and more complex.

How can vlc or the internal player work for ISO files?

Kind Regards
  Jens
