Ticket #160: SC support for ISO playback on NMTs, - 2008/08/03 14:13
Hi Nigel,
I really like to see the new ticket #160. I was coming up with just the same enhancement proposal, however, also including the correct playing of DVD-VOB file structures (enabling the DVD menus).
I donīt know whether it will be helpful for you, but since it shouldnīt harm, I simple post my investigations on the correct syntax for the PCH browser to do the job well:
Consider the subsequent 3 video files (one mpg, one DVD-VOB-file system and one DVD-ISO file) on the server (IP = 192.168.0.101) to be played by the PCH:
The files seen from the Windows world look like:
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film1\abcd.mpg
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film1\folder.jpg
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film2\efgh.iso
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film2\folder.jpg
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film3\folder.jpg
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film3\VIDEO_TS\VOB_TS.BUP
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film3\VIDEO_TS\VOB_TS.IFO
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film3\VIDEO_TS\VOB_TS.VOB
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film3\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.BUP
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film3\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film3\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.VOB
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film3\VIDEO_TS\VTS_02_0.BUP
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film3\VIDEO_TS\VTS_02_0.IFO
\\192.168.0.101\video\films\film3\VIDEO_TS\VTS_02_0.VOB
etc.
For reference the SC directory looks like: \\192.168.0.101\web\svr\swiss\....
Letīs put 3 hmtl-files into the video folder which after opening the file with the PCH browser will show the video art and then enables to start the film:
\\192.168.0.101\video\film1.html
\\192.168.0.101\video\film2.html
\\192.168.0.101\video\film3.html
As an example, the PCH sees the video files in the Linux world of the NAS (with NFS) like:
[NFS] DS207::volume1:video/films/film1/abcd.mpg
The 3 files to play the videos in this case should be:
For the mpg video, film1.html:
<html>
<table>
<tr>
<center></center>
<td valign="top">
<center>
<img src="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/[NFS] 192.168.0.101::volume1:video/films/film1/folder.jpg" width="100"/>
</a>
</center>
<div class="navigationline"></div>
<center>
<a href="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/[NFS] 192.168.0.101::volume1:video/films/film1/abcd.mpg" class="link" vod="">film1</a>
</center>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html>
For the ISO DVD video, film2.html:
<html>
<table>
<tr>
<center></center>
<td valign="top">
<center>
<img src="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/[NFS] 192.168.0.101::volume1:video/films/film2/folder.jpg" width="100"/>
</a>
</center>
<div class="navigationline"></div>
<center>
<a href="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/[NFS] 192.168.0.101::volume1:video/films/film2/efgh.iso" zcd="2" >film2</a>
</center>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html>
For the VOB-DVD video, film3.html:
<html>
<table>
<tr>
<center></center>
<td valign="top">
<center>
<img src="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/[NFS] 192.168.0.101::volume1:video/films/film3/folder.jpg" width="100"/>
</a>
</center>
<div class="navigationline"></div>
<center>
<a href="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/[NFS] 192.168.0.101::volume1:video/films/film3/" zcd="2" >film3</a>
</center>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html>
Important note: The PCH doesnīt like jpgs etc. in the VIDEO_TS folder and in that case refrains playing the VOBs. It is important to put - contrary to what SC currently automatically does the video art into the folder beyond!
Therefore it might be better to put the video art as found by SC always outside of the VIDEO_TS folder (new enhancement proposal)!
Good success!

Joe
