Howdy,
New B. here... First of all, let me say congrats on a FINE product. I am using MP among other things to play ripped backups of DVD's for my 2 kids. I have gotten things going fairly well by looking thru the forums but I have noticed a couple of things and I'm wondering if it's me or MP. Probably the former.
1. When I play a Video_TS folder, if I try to use F7 to skip the previews, THX promo etc. sometimes I just get caught in a repeat cycle. Seems to go away once I get into the first scene. Is this just because they don't want you skipping this stuff on the original DVD?
2. Occasionally when I try to skip chapters, I still get sound but the screen blanks and I have to stop and restart the movie to get video back.
3. I can't play a movie folder by using the Play function (P on the keyboard, mapped thru my USB UIRT). If I use Enter though it works fine. Just a bit confusing. The play button works fine for play/pause/play etc. once the movie's started
FYI my setup is a fairly standard EMachine, 512MB, movies on a Linux NAS box across a wired network, remote as mentioned previously thru a USB-UIRT and Girder, and video out to a regular old Magnavox CRT television via a FX-5200 card. I also run BTV and that has been working well, actually BTV-Link on this machine, the server's in my bedroom.
Any help to a noob in need is much appreciated
