'Looks good.
Edit: Oops! Spoke too soon. That killed the title displays. Neither the reserved keyword "ignore" nor any other text works, now.

I can't see how that's possible. The code adjusted is to do with directory listing of "real" directories. The dvdvideo plugin uses a different mechanism to list the "virtual" directory structure of the dvd. The virtual directory structure has the code that reads the file metadata.
Can you double check this and make sure nothing else has changed. If necessary try reverting to the previous version to check that performs in the same manor.

I found the problem. I upgraded the code from your new git, but when I re-started the server, I restarted the wrong server. I restarted the pyHME server, instead of the pyTivo server. Having the new source files with the old run-time modules gave it indigestion.

| Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2011 7:21 pm Post subject: basic questions about the DVD plugin |
|
|
Trying to get this plugin working for the first time...
1. Using DVD Decrypter to rip a movie DVD, do we use the default options? 2. How/when do the VOBs get renamed to mpgs? Are we supposed to do that manually?
3. In the sample default.txt, are Title 1, Title 2 etc keywords? DVD Decrypter indicates that the Main Movie PGC is "VTS_06/PGC 1". How does this related to Title 1, Title 2 etc in default.txt?
4. Once I get this working, can I expect (any) subtitles from the Movied DVD to show up when played on TiVo?

Yes, from memory I don't change anything. Note this is only necessary if the dvd is encrypted. Most of the DVDs I've ripped have needed this

Don't rename of change the decrypted files in any way. In fact if the DVD is not encrypted you can simply copy the contents to a folder. That's the beauty of the plugin.

In default.txt Title 0 is automajically the "main title" (the longest track on the dvd). A little trial and error may be required to determine what the other titles are (making of, trailers etc). If you aren't interested in these simply do "Title X: Ignore" (where X is the title number) and it will hide it from the listing.

No, there is no support for subtitles on files transferred to the TiVo. This is a TiVo shortcoming, if and when they add support for this it could be included as part of the plugin. You need to transcode the video in order to include the subtitles as part of the video for the TiVo.

Actually, I think the rip mode defaults to the wrong value. The user should rip to File mode, not ISO or IFO. You may want to change the default output directory, as well.

To expand on this a bit, I suggest the user start out without creating any default.txt files or __Txx.mpg.txt files immediately after ripping a DVD. Point your browser to port 9032 on the pyTivo machine, and drill into the DVD folder of the newly ripped disk. The user will see some number of titles with duration and file sizes listed. From this, the user can make a good start at deciding what the order of titles actually is. One should then take one's best guess at which titles are which, and create the default.txt and __Txx.mpg.txt files accordingly. Try pushing each title, and if a DVD has its video order scrambled, shuffle around the names until the text matches the video content. Then, if you like, create the cover art. (I go to www.albumart.org to get my cover art.)

|
|
I tried pointing a dvdvideo share right at my dvd drive, but it seems it can't grok that. Works fine if I copy the files to a subdirectory on the hard drive, though. This is with a non-copy-protected DVD and with AnyDVD to boot.
This would also let me use virtualclonedrive to load .iso's into a virtual drive and use the same trick.
Of course, if anyone felt like hacking in direct .iso support to the dvdvideo plugin, that'd be great, too

Yeah I can see how reading isos would be useful if you had a whole lot of isos already. I have no need for this so have no plans to add it. Also most of the dvds I have, have some form of protection which needs to be removed so the current process works quite well for me. You'd also loose the ability to name the tracks.
Having said that I'm happy to look at the dvd drive issue. I'm going to be away for a week, I'll look at it next week.

No worries...you get what you pay for
I started going through the source tree for xbmc to see how they handle ISO files but got busy with other stuff myself.

Finally had a chance to look at the code. Basically the folder becomes the series name so that's why it was failing. I've set the code to set the series name to the same as the track name if no series name is returned.
In short, it should now work. I've pushed the update to my git.

| Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2011 2:53 am Post subject: Two questions: DVD's not appearing and not config table |
|
|
I am using the lucasnz fork of pytivo. I have two issues:
1. When I move DVD folders into the dvdvideo share some will appear with tracks and some appear without tracks. I noticed that a similar issue happened with the Bayer version, but I am using Windows Home Server v1 and file permissions do not match those for Linux. I've tried toggling the read only and archive flags to no avail. What should I look for?
2. When I click on the Web Configuration link the center column, where the variables and values would appear is blank.
I was running wmcbrine's fork, but wanted to take advantage of DVD shares. Other than these two issues, lucasnz's fork works perfectly.

Umm, I'd be surprised if it was a permissions thing. The default permissions in windows allow all users to read almost everything. One way to test this could be to run pytivo in a command prompt. Then it'll be running with your users permissions so if you can see the file pytivo will be able to as well... The DVD plugin does not need write permissions.
Is this issue seen on the web interface or when browsing the share from the tivo (or both)?
It's probably an issue with the IFO files. They're not very big, can you send them to me? Then I'll test them.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by this are you running the latest versions of pytivo and the dvd video plugin?

I pm'd you with the IFO files for 2 movies that show zero tracks on both the web interface and the tivo

I have attached a screenshot. I also noticed that the soft reset button also does not do anything.
