[QUOTE="Lordwarf, post: 799107, member: 113640"] Hi all, I recently bumped into a strange problem which is as follows : All my DVD are dumped as iso files, and are played in MePo through CloneDrive. Until a few days ago, the hard drive with the ISOs was set in an external case linked to the media center by a usb 2 connection. Disk was seen as the G:\ drive. Everything worked flawlessly. Then, I built a new storage PC, plugged the ISO disk in it, and linked it to the media center via Gigabit ethernet. The disk is shared, and "mounted" in the media center as a network drive G:\ (yes, the same letter, so I do not have to change anything in my setup). Here is were the "trouble" starts. With this new setup, I now have three different behaviors when I try and play a DVD iso, depending on the movie I try to start : Case #1 : DVD plays ok. This is the case for most of the disks. Case #2 : When movie is played, screen goes black, and stays black until I press DVD Menu button. Then the playing actually starts. This is the case for many disks. Not much, though. Case #3 : When movie is played, screen goes black, and stays black. If I press any DVD button like the Menu button, display goes back to MePo GUI. Fortunately, this problem happens for a few disks only. But still, this is annoying. I tried to dump the original disk again, with a newer version of AnyDVD, but with no luck. I also tried and change the DVD codecs in MePo, just in case. If I mount the iso manually, it plays correctly in an other player (zoom player, which I used before I fell in love with MePo). I could not try the manual mount with MePo though, because for some strange reason, I cannot see my Virtual Drive in MePo with the Play disc command (but I have to admit I did not investigate this very much). The attached log files were generated and collected by MePo watchdog. When making the log, I successively launched three discs, one corresponding to each of the cases listed above 1 : Die hard with a vengeance, does not work at all. I end up pressing the DVD Menu button to go back in GUI. 2 : Armageddon, black screen then I press Menu so I get DVD menu. 3 : Daylight, which works ok. I tried and have a look at the logs myself, but nothing strikes me. I would really appreciate any help on this subject. Thank you !
