WiimC 1.1.1 frame droppings when playing DVD IFO files

[Chris]

I noticed frame droppings (a slight stuttering) when playing DVD IFO files via SMB from a VIDEO_TS folder with WiiMC 1.1.1. When I play a VOB file of the same DVD directly via the same SMB share, everything is fine. Does the DVD Menu feature include some kind of overhead, so it slows down playback performance ?

Yes, dvd menu (“dvdnav”) over SMB is not supported. Turn it off in the settings if you want to play DVDs.

This is because dvdnav has its own cache and doesn’t use the mplayer cache, which is the one we’ve set up for use over SMB already.

I’ll be disabling dvdnav over smb in the next version.

PLEASE dont do that. disabling ISO over SMB would make my(and everybody elses) NAS useless. there has got to be better way to handle this.

I didn’t say disable ISO over SMB. I said disable dvdnav over SMB. You will still have ISO over SMB via dvd AKA the “Skip to Main Title” option.

is there any way to finetune dvd iso playback via smb?
it is quite frame dropping when played via wifi…

[rodries]

Go into Settings > DVD and switch DVD Menu to Skip Main Title.

Case Closed.
