MP not seeing .iso (1 Viewer)

[RichMc]

Super newbie here, I've tried searching but can't find a solution.

1.4 just installed win7 64 PC and I use a Netgear NAS server for storage. Pictures and music are working but It doesn't seem to be able to find my DVD collection that's stored as .iso files. I want to use Virtual Clone Drive as I'm familiar with it but I can't seem to get MP to even see the iso files when I go to videos it just says no results found. I've set the path up in the configuration tools and as far as I can see set up the MP to use V clone drive.
Any pointers?

Hello and welcome RichMc

The file types MP recognises as videos are listed and controlled by this section in MP configuration:

Please double-check .iso is included.

Hi mm,
yes I did add .iso to the list and have double checked its still there.
The path to the folder containing the .iso is \\NAS-BE-D5-09\media\Videos
and there are around 400 .iso files in the folder all ripped with CloneDVD2.

Do you understand the difference between a shares view and a database view?
In a shares view you see the contents of your HDD(s) as per the directory structure on the HDD(s).
In a database view MediaPortal only shows the media that has been imported into the MediaPortal database. Therefore it is critical to import your media.

I've very new to media PCs and am not sure about the differences, what I have managed is to go to Video Database, scan, this now allows me to "see" most of the films is this what you mean by importing?
However if I click on a film it says its been mounted but times out even if I get it to try for 60 seconds A couple of times it still won't play.

Yes, that is what I meant - well done.

However if I click on a film it says its been mounted but times out even if I get it to try for 60 seconds A couple of times it still won't play.

I use Daemon Tools Lite and that works fine for me. Hopefully somebody who uses VCD will be able to assist you...

Or rather not using VCD, its not working for me, I'm looking at DT at the moment to see if that is the fix. I have VCD as I use any/clone DVD.
