Mac Client and ripped DVD playback

[Hawaii50]

I'm having the same problem with a Mini Mac as a Sage Client to a Windows XP box as the Sage Media Server. No luck on playing DVD files on the server even in the latest beta v6.5.20.

I'm glad I installed the trial before buying a license. I just set up a nice new 24" iMac. My HD-200 works fine, but I cannot play DVDs from my video library on the Mac. I can watch recorded TV, however.

Are you using Placeshifter or the Mac client? Placeshifter can't play DVDs.

You could try creating a path to the DVDs without a drive letter in the sage.properties file.

Interesting information. I was using the Placeshifter as it seemed more versatile. I'll give the client a try. Thanks for the tip!

Setting up the client, rather than Placeshifter, did the trick. I also had to remap all directories to UNC paths, but I was expecting that.

jkoutrouba,

are you playing the individual vob files in the video_ts folder or are you playing them as dvd on MacClient? Been waiting for this feature to be added on MacClient for a while now, since Dec. 2007; unfortunately, I'm past 30 day trial period, so there is no way for me to see for myself.
