So I'm having a heck of a time ripping with MythDVD. No worries
as I
really don't care to if I can avoid it. I have a ton of dvds

ripped and burnt and simply want to copy a few of them to disk now
and then for easy access via the Media Library. Not afraid of
showing stuff in the mythconverg db via perl fun to do this.
Any pointers?
Copy the files into the Video folder (That MythVideo is looking at),
and go into "Setup -> Video Manager" on the Frontend, which will
automatically discover all the new files you've just added. Then
scroll to each one, press the "Menu" key (M, usually) and choose
"Search IMDB" to get all the metadata for the video.
It doesn't seem that MythVideo can handle whole DVDs in the video
dir. At least when I copied one over and pulled up the Video
Manager it listed each file in the VIDEO_TS directory
individually. None of them were playable either.
I hunted down the info needed to get the transcode daemon running
and ripped a small title of a DVD at "perfect" quality. I ended
up with a single .vob file, went to Video Manager to get it
recognize, browsed over to MythVideo and ... nothing, doesn't play.
I must be missing something.
Check your player command-line for the .VOB extension and make sure
it works outside of Myth since that's really what is happening (just
launching an external viewer).
Aha. Is there any support for filling that info in automatically or
is it pretty standard to have to manually fill in the command line
arg to play each thing in the video manager's list?
You need to configure the player for each particular extension type you
want to play. You can also optionally have a special command-line for
each video if you have a need for it.
