RC3: Harddisk based DVD images (1 Viewer)

[Rybber]

Tru also pressing enter, I have couple of DVDs that show only black in the first menu screen.

Nope, doesn't work...

Taipan Yes! I'm using an ati card indeed! I'm using nvidia decoder just like your test n°3 in the thread you posted.

I know it sounds odd, but it looks like only users with an ATI Radeon video card get these menu navigation issues.... :?

Users with Nvidia cards also have these issues, so it has nothing to do with the brand of video card....

A bug has been logged in Mantis and the devs are onto it - but it looks like this one is a tricky one....

I found the following bugs:

Pressing play on a HDD DVD image, starts to play it, but the autoplay dialog is also showing after playback is started.

Navigating in a HDD DVD menu with left-right keys momentarily brings up the skip OSD.

CVS is currently down, but if you like you could try following core.dll - http://day2.no-ip.org/core.dll . This contains some fixes to DVD navigation and menu updating. Make sure that you have newest CVS before trying that and that you have backup off the original core.dll . Use this DLL only for testing those DVD menu issues.

I have tried it, and this improves things. Especially regarding the left/right keys management in the menus.
I guess this core.dll modifications have been included in the latest CVS/SVNs now.

This is not perfect, though, as I still have on some DVDs a black screen (no picture) with just sound.
If this can be of any help, I can send error-prone DVDs (black screen, no menu, etc...) for the dev people to test.

Those navigation issue fixes are in SVN. There should be some fixes for the black menu issues in SVN. So, you could test the latest SVN build to see if it works ok.

I've tested today's SVN.

Although things are better on the menu side (right/left keys on the menu), the black menu issue is still present, as well as the no picture issue during film/trailers (I guess this is probably the same bug).

I am ready to do any sort of test & to provide faulty dvds. Just tell me what is needed.

I got todays mediaportal-svn-04-05-2006--12-21.rar and that fixed the black menu problem. Only tried on lotr 1 tho but it had the black menu when selecting language before.

I just did some bughunting on this wih todays SVN:

Most DVDs with animated menu seems to work.

Menu navigation works like a charm now!

DVD Language selection (when DVD is "inserted") does NOT seems to work. I can press enter and the movie starts, but arrow keys does not seem to do anything.

All in all a very nice progress - thanks

What mpeg2 codec you are using? Could you check if it happens also with mpeg2dec that comes with MP?
