Poor response when playing a SD-DVD using MePo (1 Viewer)

[nzdreamer55]

Hello everyone,

I'm using MePo 1.3 Alpha and trying to play SD DVD's, but it seems like when I put in a disk, my DVD drive goes on for a second then stops. If I switch to Play Disc, It asks me to insert a disc.

If I get it playing, the playback is hard to control in that I cannot jump to the DVD menu and when I play the movie, it seems slow to respond to commands from my remote. It seems like it opens another player in the back ground, but it then blinks to the foreground to play. Are there logs for playing a SD DVD? Should I put MePo is debug mode and try to play a SD DVD and then submit the logs?

Thanks for the help

yes, you should.
also please post screenshots of MP config - dvd settings, and codec settings for dvd

Thanks for the help. So here is what I have done. I have included screen captures of the settings that I suspect you will need to help me trouble shoot this. I have also posted a video on line showing the problem. At the present time it seems that it is mostly the playing a DVD using the Play Disc function and the poor play back during the DVD Menu. I have set MePo to debug and attached the log.zip file for this as well.

Thank you.

Here is the link to youtube demo

Just for your info: LAV Video does not support DVD yet. Maybe you gonna try another DVD video codec? (Cyberlink for example)
I don't know if this helps tho...

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try changing the DVD codec. Is the LAV codec the default for installation? If this is the case should we tell the developers to change the codec that are deployed with the installation?

So I tried changing the DVD codec and things are better. I am experimenting with the different ones that are available.

I still am plagues by the please insert Disc problem. The DVD won't play unless I hit it right when the drive is going after I put in a disc.
I have turned off the Windows Autoiplay and set the Autoplay under the DVD settings within the Mediaportal client configuration to Play for all type of media (audio, video, and photo)

Anyone else had this problem and have a solution? It seems that this should be one of the most basic tasks that Mediaportal should be able to do.

Thanks again

Weird Hun?
