Upgrading to 1.7rc2 I am now left in a state where freevo no longer
plays my dvd iso'scorrectly either. Same issue, it's playing them as
a file instead.
Here is the output from mminfo, which I think is the cause of the problem..
---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root$ sudo mminfo /media/usbdisk/movies/Robots.iso
Password:
kaa media metadata info
/media/usbdisk/movies/Robots.iso
No Match found

However, it plays fine in both mplayer and xine when called as a DVD.
Tips??
