ripped DVDs ?

Hi all,
In my Homeserver I use to store my ripped DVDs with original structure (folder with movie title, AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS subfolders, .VOB and .IFO files). I wolud like to play these DVDs using serviio but from my clients I can only see VOB files. With my ICYBOX, au contraire, I can play directly my DVDs. I tryed this with a PS3 and a samsung 5+ TV. Is this a limitation embedded into DLNA or is it possible to implement a transcode plugin ? Pleas don't tell me I have to re-encode all my DVD collection :-/
Regards

Serviio does not support DVD structure format.

Re: ripped DVDs ?

I play my ripped DVD's all the time. I can't play them as a DVD, but you can click on the first file in the folder, and Serviio will play them, one after the other. There will be a small delay as each file starts, but I can watch the whole DVD, including any extras. It's not as good as playing the DVD, and there's no interactive features, but it works to watch them.

What a pity. Yesterday I tried Wild Media Server and it seem to play DVDs MUCH better, furthermore whan I play a BD (mkv) with serviio I have problems, with wild media server everything is much more fluid

Re: ripped DVDs ?

I just updated this ticket with an idea I think may work for a possible future Serviio version:

Re: ripped DVDs ?

So does Servio serve the IFO/BUP Files now in version 1.0?

It would seem to me that it does not but I was using the device specific profile and not the general profile which would service all file types.

I'm using a WD TV Live, which does handle ripped DVDs just fine, but as any player would, it needs to see the IFO/BUP files to generate menus, proper playback etc etc. A great argument for the presenting appraisal of DVD files is that some later releases films will use the fact that content does not have to be muxed in the same file, making playback of the vob useless without information in the IFO/BUP

Re: ripped DVDs ?

I guess we'd need a setting in the profile to determine whether the renderer supports IFO or not. If it does, serve that. If not, stitch the VOBs together and serve that instead.

Re: ripped DVDs ?

i don't really mind that i can't watch dvd's but all the vob files are visible in the library and that really clutters is up. I think they should not even show. since you can only play them one by one. Of course i can put them in seperate directory and not add that directory to the library, but sometimes i am too lazy to move them from my download directory ;-)
