Hello,

I have a problem with MP and watching DVD's. If I insert a DVD and he asked me, if he should play the DVD instantly everthing is working fine. but if i don't watch it instantly and wanna start it with the PlayDVD Button in the Mainmenu, i get the Message "Insert Disc". Windows found the DVD and other Players could start them. I reproduced this error on 2 different PCs (both with MP 1.1.1.0) one of them has Windows 7 and all Drivers (see above) and one with Windows XP and the standard Drivers. I used StreamedMP and Blue3 Skin and no differences. Always the same error.

If it isn't a bug and my own fault ... i'm sorry to waste your time and would be glad if you could help me.

have a nice day :)

I had the same problem. It's not really a bug just bad coding. You have to have the disc drive/s amongst the video folders. Check the "auto add optical drives" under Videos Folders and it will start working. The DVD playing is a part of the videos function.

    Hi,

    Have you checked 1.2.0alpha to see if the problem is fixed?

    AW: PlayDVD - Insert Disc Error

    Hi,
    I have a similar problem. MP 1.1.1. SAF 5.0.
    Some DVDs work fine, independently if I start them from main menu (play disk) or after inserting via the pop up dialog.
    Some DVDs return to main screen after 1-2 seconds without error but won't play.
    If I start the same DVDs outside MP with MediaPlayer Classic (e.g.) they play. If I then start MP and select play disc they play correctly.

    I found out that it has something to do with the protection of the DVD because when I use AnyDVD it plays without a problem (also ripped DVDs play).

    However, I would like to play all my DVDs without having AnyDVD in the background.

    Do you have some clue how to overcome this problem?
