i am using xbmc - october 18 build
throughout my testing of xbmc i have never been able to play any of my mp3 data cd's.  burnt to a dvd+r and dvr-rw - either disc, when inserted with xbmc running just freezes the xbox.
i have read the history and readme.txts for each version and it does not say that reading direct from an iso 9660 is not supported.  is this a bug that will be fixed?
both of these iso9660 cd's work wonderful in xbmp but not in xbmc.
note: all this despite doing the usual, deleting face008 folders/deleting mc from memory in original dash....
i think that the developers have done an awesome job with mc by the way!

due to the lack of response, am i to assume i am the only one having problems playing iso 9660 disks in dvd drive?
there must be others having similiar/same problems with mc?
anyone?

i have also has a similar problem when trying to read of cds.

using xbmp i have no problems watching movies off cd (if i have burnt it using the correct technique ), but when i try to watch to access the same cd using xbmc it just freezes up until i either turn of the xbox, or press the eject button (which resets the xbox).

admittedly i have not tried the latest builds "released".

i'm not sure if this is the problem but when the file names are too long on a cd it will freeze when you try to play them or insert the cd, not sure if thats the problem, its just something ive noticed

faced the same problem, too.
xbmc hungs when reading mp3s dvd-rs.
it hangs on load if the dvd is on the drive before launching xbmc, it hangs after a short while if the dvd is put into the drive only after xbmc is started and browsing the dvd content.

i'm having similar problem too.
when i insert a divx movie burnt on a cd-r, xbox dvd drive starts doing seeks (i can hear it) and screen stays black. if i press the eject button, i'm getting few seconds of the beginning of the movie, then it stops. (seems like play whats loaded in the buffers so far). i tried to play divx movie recorded on a dvd-r - works fine. obivously there is an issue reading iso9660 cd-rs.

off-cd play works with no hitches in xbmp

ive tried a few builds inc latest one and none of my dvds show any files in xbmc, they are burned udf/iso with joliet mode 1 and work fine in xbmp, this is a shame cos i like xbmc better but will never use it as it is cos 90 % of my avis are on dvd, hope you get it fixed and nice work so far on it

as i said before in bridged iso/udf file system, xbmc access the media only through udf file system, using kernel calls. it's a limitation because you can't access files >1gb in this way. i think it is time to add a full udf compliant software filesystem routine. bye!

[Tribb2001]

will this be fixed soon, still no files show on my dvds they are mostly 700meg avis, seems xbmp works fine cant you use that dvd read routine for now ? i would think that most people will have this prob and would say its a major bug that seems to never get fixed

with the latest xbmc you can enable the expert options in xboxmediacenter.xml and have a seperate iso9660 and udf share
so
d: is autodetect udf/iso9660
iso: is always treat cd/dvd as iso9660
udf: is always treat cd/dvd as udf

please note that you gotta enable this in xboxmediacenter.xml

i still can't play/read iso9660 cd even after modifing config file and using 12/11 build. everything works fine under xbmp. it seems it's still supporting udf only.

[Bobbin007]

please use iso9660:// instead of iso9660:// in xboxmediacenter.xml for each iso only share, then it should work

could anyone please post an example of the xboxmediacenter.xml which has iso9660 enabled... cuz i just dont get it

[Bobbin007]

the entries in xboxmediacenter.xml for each share (music, video, pictures, files) have to look like this :

<bookmark>
  <name>iso</name>
 <path>iso9660://</path>
</bookmark>
<bookmark>
 <name>udf</name>
 <path>udf:</path>
</bookmark>
