Login at Kodi Home

Here is my issue. We have a Fusion Media server in our home theater. I makes full backups of BluRays using AnyDVD. It saves the image as a UDF file. Kodi by default does not seem to recognize it. All I have to do is rename the UDF to ISO and Kodi plays it fine. I cant change the file type to ISO without breaking the Fusion Media Server. Is there a way to get Kodi to treat the UDF files just like an ISO? We want to use Kodi on our other TVs instead of paying 1K+ for additional fusion players.

I should add I don't want to take up additional HD space by making copies as ISOs or even as much smaller MKVs.

Thanks
Austin

can you not just add the .udf as a video extension via advancedsettings?

Odd thing is I don't see .iso there either.

I would just try it, ffmpeg should probe to see what type of file it is anyways, so adding the extension should be enough for you to get it in the library.

Adding UDF was successful in getting the movies in the library but when you go to play one you get the spinning wheel for a few seconds. It goes away and nothing happens.

I have log files of it trying to play a BR UDF file and failing and then successfully playing a DVD iso.

I also have a log file of it successfully playing a BR UDF file renamed to an iso.

How do I upload them to this post?

Open the file with Notepad and copy all the contents of the document
Locate a Pastebin type site. Two examples are https://pastebin.com/ or https://paste.ubuntu.com/
Paste the contents of the file
Press Paste or Generate
When the screen refreshes with your paste, copy the entire address in the address bar and paste it into a new message in your thread

Is there a better place to post this issue? I'm very new to Kodi but the issue seems fairly straightforward based on the logs but I don't know how to bring it to the attention of someone who can change to behavior.

Thanks

I think the problem is that we explicitly check for the extensions .iso and .img in the code for blu-rays. Maybe I'll add .udf.

That would be awesome

Well there is your answer, that explains it.

Added with commit https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/2c55...72632e40d3 . It will be available from Kodi 18 on.

Very cool thanks.

I also have a Fusion Research Cinema Server and am having the same problem . I have tried to email you but this Forum is saying i do not have that permission Sad

Did you finally get a resolve to accessing the Fusion Research Server? I can see all my files on my QNAP additional server but can not play any of the UDF movies.

Any help would be appreciated.
