I agree. I have a few ISOs that won't play correctly, and one where the
menu intro plays fine, but once it gets to the actual main menu it blasts
digital noise at full volume. These were kids' DVDs and I haven't bothered
to spend much time troubleshooting it. I also haven't spent much time
trying to get xine or VLC working on this system either; we just don't
watch those ISOs any more. I have also experienced the "seeking reverts to
the beginning of the file" issue on some other files. Suffice to say,
MythFrontend's video playing is still quite lacking, but it's just another
victim of the quest to turn MythTV into a self-sufficient operating system
with no dependence on any external programs or libraries which are hard to
support.
