Is the use of Zones only for audio?
« on: July 15, 2013, 10:23:54 am »

I was hoping to setup zones for video playback of dvd's vs blurays.  All content is ripped to my server.  I primarily use Red October HQ.  The problem is when watching standard dvd's.  When I do they stutter pretty badly.  Blu Ray's play absolutely fine though.  I figured I could create zones where dvd's use RO Standard and blu rays use ROHQ

I created 2 zones, one Video - IFO and the other Video - BR.  I tried setting a zone for dvd where file type is equal to IFO and set it to RO Standard.  However when I go to my Video - BR zone I created for blu ray, if I select ROHQ, then switch back to the zone Video - IFO, I notice that it now shows ROHQ.  It appears the video mode is not saved with zones.  Is this correct?

I believe you're right. However, this might be the sort of thing that MC19 will address.

You can have separate zones for video, but only some settings apply.
I think Video Mode is one of the options that is global in MC18, rather than being a per-zone option.

From another thread:

Select video mode advanced-custom, then in the settings select " Start with the following rules"- put RO standard. Then select another zone and put ROHQ in the "Start with the following rules". It will then switch between RO standard and ROHQ when you change zones.
