I was wondering if Myth can automatically mount ISO images of DVD on a disk and play them?
I could not find anything in the forum or Myth Wiki

A search for "loopback mount iso" should get you started, since this has been discussed at least a couple times before. Here's one thread - http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2496&highlight=loopback+mount+iso

Thanks for the tip since mount iso didn't find anything relevant.

I dont think it mounts it but it does the job...you just have to fiddle with the settings. I will post the entry I add to the Media setttings, File Types in the morning.

xine -pqfh -f --no-splash -B -V xv dvd:///%s

That worked for me....I think I also had to specify the sometimes the corrext audio track if I didnt it would play spanish or the english commentary.

If you have an "almost" image, i.e. just the files from a DVD copied to a folder, xine can play it too. But it needs the path to the directory to do it, not just a .vob (that will only play the particular .vob and menus won't work).

Give the filetype .vob or .ifo (or any other common file within VIDEO_TS, it doesn't matter since it's not used) the following command:



Note the tcl-script embedded to extract the directory part of the %s-file.

No need to get tcl involved, there is already a dirname facility in the standard shell toolkit. Give this a try.
