Problem with DVD Rips on external HDD

jof · 2008-09-24, 20:25

Hi I posted this already at the moving pictures forum, but I have this problem also with the standard movie plugin:

I have a weird problem!

I have all my DVD Rips on an external HDD. With video_ts structure.

When i want to play the movies, I only get a blackscreen the time is at 0 minutes and nothing happens. I tried changing the codecs but it didn't help.

Now comes the weird thing.
For testing i copied a movie to my internal HDD, imported the movie and then started the movie.
The movie started without any problem.
Then I tried a movie on the external HDD and blackscreen again.

So if I have my Rips on the local HDD ecerything works fine and on the external HDD only blackscreen???

Can someone please help me with this? I have no clue what the problem could be!

Attached is a log with following situation:

First I played 3:10 Yuma from local disc without a problem, after that i tried blood diamond from external HDD and it didn't worked.

One point to add. With PowerDVD I can play all the movies on the external HDD without a problem. So there could be no failure with the HDD.
