Cannot Play DVDs (1 Viewer)

[timmo82]

Hello All,

For some reason i have been unable to play any DVDs through MediaPortal, Once i insert a dvd i receive the error message "Unable to Play Disc Did you insert a Disc?" my answer of course is Yes i have! this started one night when i had started a a dvd for the first time and left it in the dvd menu while i made a coffee and came back and stopped the dvd then went to start it again and ever since then i get the above error message. Ive tried reinstalling all codecs and tried using a different dvd navigator but no luck, could some one please help as this is frustrating since i have to exit mediaportal to watch a dvd.

I have also included a rar file of my logs:

What DVD navigator filter you have selected in the DVD playback codec configuration? Seems like something has failed when calling Dvd.IDvdControl2.SetSubpictureState

Same but only using component conection to my plasma TV

Same hapend to me.
I've tried With Windows Media Player and hapends the same. Video Lan Ok.

Seems to be a problem with copyright protection of some original DVDs. ie, Cars (disney) in Spanish edition.

I have my Panasonic Plasma TV conencted thought Component Video and 720p. If I connect using Vga cable and 1024x768 computer resolution dvd's are played ok.

Any help?

mediaportal.xml may be the issue, it is found here C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Appdata\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal

Rename to mediaportalold and then run config again, be aware there is a navigation issue with RC1 which is fixed in current svn, or forthcoming RC2 release.

Regards
