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.
(for the archives)
I checked and .vob is setup as using the default player. So I
checked out the command for playing and it looks like the path to
mplayer is wrong. (running a knoppmyth box) So I symlinked it:
ln -s /usr/bin/mplayer /usr/local/bin/mplayer
Then I got:
========================================================================
==
vo: X11 running at 720x480 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":0.0" =>
local display)
It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read DOCS/HTML/en/
video.html#xv!
See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Try -
vo x11
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
I'm using the TV-OUT on my PVR 350, so I can see why it didn't work.
/usr/local/bin/mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo x11 %s
And it did work.
