I'm using GMplayer, the graphical version of Mplayer, to play all my video content. This works perfectly with different video formats like AVI, TS, MPEG etc.

On my external HDD, i also have subfolders containing VOB files, where the name of the folder represents the name of the movie. The IFO files are missing, cause i deleted them :confused:, so i have created M3U playlists with sequentially play the VOB's that it appears as a complete movie.

Now my problem: If i start the M3U playlist manually from file explorer under Windows it plays the video inside GMplayer, but if i start it in MyVideos, only a black screen appears (looks like that Mediaplayer is started which cannot play VOB's).

A sample M3U looks like this:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,VTS_01_1.VOB
e:\VOB-Video1\VTS_01_1.VOB
#EXTINF:-1,VTS_01_2.VOB
e:\VOB-Video1\VTS_01_2.VOB
#EXTINF:-1,VTS_01_3.VOB
e:\VOB-Video1\VTS_01_3.VOB
#EXTINF:-1,VTS_01_4.VOB
e:\VOB-Video1\VTS_01_4.VOB
#EXTINF:-1,VTS_01_5.VOB
e:\VOB-Video1\VTS_01_5.VOB

Any idea and, please: I don't want to remaster all my videos, creating new IFO's :eek:

Thanks in advance...

The reason is, that VOB's are not correctely recognized...
