.iso dvd backup playback XBMC

[W1ll1am]

Hello all,

I just purchased a raspberry pi over the weekend and thought I would attempt to make a cheap fontend for my xbmc setup. I tried out raspbmc and it seems kinda slow and I couldn't get my .ISOs playing even with the playDVD script.

I decided to install arch on my pi and then install xbmc from there. I have it installed and I was able to get .ISO DVDs to play sort of. Using upnp to find my backend and then trying to play .ISOs fails but if I mount my backend drive with nfs on the pi and then play the movie it will work. Now some movies don't work and it is kinda tricky to get the ones that do work to play but once they do they play flawlessly. I believe that the problems I am having has to do with menus

So here are my questions why was the playDVD script made? Why can't I play the .ISOs from upnp but I can with nfs? Does anyone know what work is being done on .ISO playback and menu functions? And most importantly has anyone managed to get this to work with all .ISOs?

The Xbmc package in archlinuxarm is basically an standard version of Xbmc, so I'd recommend you to ask theese questions in the official xbmc raspberry pi forums: http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=166.
The playDVD script was not created for archlinuxarm, so again, go to the source: http://forum.stmlabs.com/showthread.php?tid=7623
That being said, I haven't tried to play DVD isos on my Pi.

Don't know if it will help, but you can try xbmc-rbp-git package.
