Doesn't MediaPortal support playing Movies consisting of 2 or more ISO files. They enter into the database as one movie (with files ..._DISC1.ISO and ..._DISC2.ISO). When I select the movie cover to play, the "select a disk" box pops up, I click on the first disk and the box goes away, the HDD light flashes a bit but no movie starts.

I also tried renaming the files ...-CD1.ISO and ...-CD2.ISO and making changes in the database, but with the same result.

All the single ISO movies play fine.

I ripped both disks with MediaSlayer as "full disk'

That is a known limitation on core but I did find a solution for it. See MediaSlayer thread a bit later on. I will update core dll files there.

Very cool..... This is the last issue I have that will take care of my HTPC minimum requirements... (Watch/Record TV, Record/Play Music, Record/Watch Movies)

After this (to keep the WAF rating high) I can start to explore other areas of MediaPortal (for me).

I'm looking forward to your update.
