I've solved the directory problem.. seems that it cannot cope with 2 layers of directories. However now I just have a directory full of VOB files, rather than it presenting as one DVD
It also doesn't actually play the DVD, the window launches for mplayer and immediately closes, mplayer works fine stand alone on the command line from and xterm.
Does anyone know how I make a system with the display as shown in the picture linked below? and how to fix my mplayer woes?

The files not found occurs when I am inside VIDEO_TS, within the "watch a video" section of freevo. The permissions are the same here as they are when I move the VOB files to the top level directory, so I don't think it is a permissions problem. However when I get home this evening I will copy the raw files onto the linux box to ensure that any network related problems are eliminated. I am still confused as to the best way to play these archived dvd's and how to have cover art displayed for each DVD? Is the intended freevo behaviour to see a directory full of VOB's and play them like a dvd? I am hoping for a setup that looks like this dvd screen shot: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/linux/2005/01/27/graphics/freevo_moviebrowse.jpg which is from this article: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2005/01/27/freevo.html Any help in achieving this would be very welcome.Stephen- A little confused when you get files not found what direcotry are you in? At it looks like you will have to navigate down at least 3 directories to get to the movie files. If you doing this and are still having problems it may be becuase of a permission issue in the sub folders. This will need to be checked from the linux box and the windows box to be sure that first every int is shared as expected and that the freevo user has the read write permissions it needs from the linux side.

I am fed up with all the CD and DVD cases and the physical storage required in my lounge. To this end I am putting together a media PC onto which I intended to rip all my CD's as MP3's and all my DVD's as VOB's. I want to be able to "rip" my DVD's onto a big hard disk, and then be able to browse them on my freevo box, and watch the playback (movie only). I have installed Freevo on my machine and it all seems to be working fine, I have a remote control, I can play MP3's quite happily. However the Video section is causing me problems. I currently have the video's mounted over a samba mount, as the media machines does not have that big a hard disk. The folder of the DVD appears in the right place when I got to "watch a video", but when I select it the freevo interface simply says "no files found". If I move all the VOB's into the top level directory (still samba mounted), then they all appear in the list, and I can play them one at a time, but what I really want is a directory that I can also put a DVD cover imagine into, and then I can browse through all my DVD's and just hit play once to watch it. The directory structure is currently: D:\Movies>dir /s Volume in drive D is New Volume Volume Serial Number is 9C15-E1D1 Directory of D:\Movies 22/03/2006 23:07 <DIR> . 22/03/2006 23:07 <DIR> .. 23/03/2006 10:41 <DIR> ENEMY_OF_THE_STATE 0 File(s) 0 bytes Directory of D:\Movies\ENEMY_OF_THE_STATE 23/03/2006 10:41 <DIR> . 23/03/2006 10:41 <DIR> .. 23/03/2006 10:41 <DIR> VIDEO_TS 0 File(s) 0 bytes Directory of D:\Movies\ENEMY_OF_THE_STATE\VIDEO_TS 23/03/2006 10:41 <DIR> . 23/03/2006 10:41 <DIR> .. 22/03/2006 21:35 92,160 VTS_01_0.IFO 22/03/2006 21:41 1,073,473,536 VTS_01_1.VOB 22/03/2006 21:47 1,073,526,784 VTS_01_2.VOB 22/03/2006 21:54 1,073,190,912 VTS_01_3.VOB 22/03/2006 22:00 1,073,494,016 VTS_01_4.VOB 22/03/2006 22:07 1,073,313,792 VTS_01_5.VOB 22/03/2006 22:10 571,488,256 VTS_01_6.VOB 7 File(s) 5,938,579,456 bytes Total Files Listed: 7 File(s) 5,938,579,456 bytes 8 Dir(s) 43,531,001,856 bytes free Any help on how I can archive my DVD's and turn my media PC into a video jukebox would be appreciated. I am currently using DVD Decrypter to do the ripping on Windows. However I am willing to look at any solutions to this problem. If there is other software I should be using, or a completely different technique then please let me know! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
