0001683: Folders containing video_ts / audio_ts folders can not be played back from an external drive - MediaPortal Bugtracker
Could the ones who experienced this issue try if choosing cyberlink dvd navigator
(you need to have Cyberlink PowerDVD 7.x installed, PowerDVD 8.0 does not work) solves it ?

Found a solution for this Windows Bug:
Go to Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Disk management. Right click on the drive panel you wish to assign a re-mountble drive letter of folder name to. From the right-click context menu, select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths'. The click on 'Add" in the dialog wndow, and when prompted mount to a folder in C drive. Create a folder say 'DVD movies Drive' in you C drive via Windows Explorer and use that for your mount.
Then you can use this folder with MP and all Rips will play fine!

FIX playing DVD on external drive
create a junction on an internal drive with command:
mklink /J NewVirtualFolder f:\FolderOnExternalDrive
As result you get a folder hard linked to a folder on the external drive.
