mythfrontend unable to play ISO dvds

[glemsom@…]

I'm using MythTV 0.21-fixes@20673.
Currenly the mythfrontend seems to be unable to play ISO DVD's.

This is seen in the mythfrontend.log file:

What I've done to create the ISO's.

1: I've copied my DVD to a directory.
2: run mkisofs -o "mybackup.iso" /path/to/my/dvdfiles
3: Copy iso to mythtv video folder, and try to play it.

I mounted the iso file - and made sure the /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO and /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP files exist. (Though, the filenames are shown in lower case on Linux...I guess this is because ISO9660 isn't case-sensitive)

DVD's must use the UDF filesystem. Your process for making the DVD ISO is completely broken. Use MythDVD to rip the DVD to an ISO.

[gdisol@…]

dvd_reader.c (part of libdvdnav library) executes DVDOpenImageFile where the variable dvd->isImageFile gets 1 that means True. After this all the access will be done understanding that your DVD must be a UDF filesystem compatible. If not (a IS09660 DVD) you will have the DVDOpenFileUDF errors.

What I can't understand is why Libdvdnav is not trying to get the ISO9660 access instead of UDF specially after the the O.S. mounted the DVD as a ISO9660 type and not UDF. The source code of Libdvdnav said that all block/char devices or files are being access using UDF ignoring IS0 ....

So, all in all the question is : Libdvdnave will have real supoort of ISO9660 ?????

No, libdvdnav is never going to support an out of spec filesystem.
