Title: DVD ISO file support?
Post by: clearplastic on May 01, 2009, 01:08:57 pm

Hi!

I understand ISO is not supported yet.  Are there plans to do this?    My original plan was to rip all of my DVDs to ISO files.

(I'm having problems playing DVDs at ALL right now, but I've started another topic for that)

Thanks!

There is no direct support for mounting images right now, but there are great ways of acomplishing what you want. I use Deamon Tools, and set it at auto mount, and I set Windows XP to auto play the DVD from that drive to J River Media Center 13. When that is done, you have to actually import the iso, img, nrg files etc to the library. This files will be imported under the Data section of the library. You can either add the data file types to the Video view scheme, or you can edit the Media Type tag to Video for all the image files.

This have at least worked very good for me. I only hope there is a way of setting the Media Type automaticly under auto import soon.

Other video players load ISO directly, so I'll bet it's planned here.

I see how your solution works, but you can't do that thru Theater view at all then?

Sure you can! It's all done automaticly as you hit the play button. No problemos. There's really no difference actually playing a file in Theater View compared to standard view.
