How do you have that app cover all of the various apps that can play BluRay back? I mean there's TMT, various versions of PowerDVD, WinDVD, etc etc. I think it becomes difficult. Take into account the person who has 3 applications installed. This means finding a way to ask the user which application he's using, etc. I'm not saying it's not do-able, and if Mikinho can join and do it that's great. there are just a lot of things still needing to be finished to just release another beta. -Dravor

I'm not advocating that this feature do everything you are suggesting.  What I outlined is what OML with Mikinho's plug-in and PowerDVD does now.  If it only works with Powerdvd, cool (for me).  I know some users use other playback apps.  I believe Mikinho's addon supports them as well.

I'm also not even asking that this be added in V1.  But I would like to see this in a near term release. 

Are ISOs supported (using Daemon-Tools) on extenders? I FINALLY got Daemon-Tools working on my main box, when I went to test it on an extenders i got an error about not being able to find the file or wrong file type...

Thanks

I have a program that works similarly to that of Minko's, but that's not mu problem. What happens to me is when I click "Watch" on a bluray ISO, Media Center tries to open the file instead of opening it through Powerdvd or total media theater. I then get an error from media center saying "Library not found".

Not sure about the other "program" you are using, but Minko's solved this problem for me.

So I accidentally removed the program from the program library.  How do I re-add it to show up in MEdia Center?   (how to re-register)

Bluephx,

Try this:  http://www.imgburn.com/

I noticed that this link for ImgBurn v2.4.2.0 also has a link to Express Burn Plus by NCH Software on the page.  How do these two products compare?

 

You can add it back from your tasks -> settings -> general -> program library options -> edit program library screen in media center

I'm sorry, I may be daft and completely missing it but I have searched for quite some time last night and now this morning and I can't find an answer to this. If it's here and I have missed it I apologize. I love the way this looks and hope it performs better than the DVD library built into VMC but as of yet I can't get it to work. Does this work with local DVD rips or does it only work with media extenders? I have DVD's ripped to local drives with almost no folder structure. So my ripped files (tfo, bup, etc) are all in folders like D:\Abyss or D:\10,000 BC etc. I don't use video_ts or audio_ts folders, all files are directly in their titled folders. When I try and scan the movies on the initial setup, I have tried pointing it to the drive themselves and the folders yet it never finds anything. What is the program looking for when it does the scan? I also have an XML file and folder.jpg in the DVD folder as well (from my DVD library mgr).

I don't use MyMovies or anything like that. Previously I only used the built in VMC functionality but with 400 DVD rips it got to take take forever to download cover art so I now use the "DVD Library Manager for Vista Media Center" to manage cover art and metadata. I like this program a lot but it's starting to get a little sluggish itself so I was excited to stumble across the OML project. Any help would be appreciated as I would love it if I can use this locally if all i have to do is make a folder structure change or something.

 

The Video/Video scanner should find your movies and import the same information as you have with DVD Library manager.  You may need to have your files in a VIDEO_TS folder inside your movie folder. This is the proper way to rip DVDs.  The XML file and folder jpg must be in your movie directory (ie: D:\10,000BC) and the movie files in the VIDEO_TS directory (ie: D:\10,000BC\VIDEO_TS). Try this with one or two movies to see if it works. I have been using the scanner together with the DVD Lib Manager for a long time with good success.

It works for both local and media center extenders

I read somewhere that OML will be getting some kind of vmc extender service in order to watch movies on say an xbox 360..at present I cannot watch avi's etc on VMC extender, only a seperate server such as TVersity.
Just wondering if that was true, or just gossip.
Thanks.

This is already possible.  For the beta version you need transcode360, and for the daily build the built in transcoder is used so transcode360 is no longer required.

Hi thanks. Tried todays build but on trying to play a film in VMC on Xbox360 I get an unhandled expection error:

system IO fild not found exception. Could not load file or assembly OMLTranscoder V1.0.0.0 culture=neutral, public keytoken=74d3b407d6cf16f1 or its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Presumably this means it can find the OMLTranscoder file. Ive searched and cannot find it.

If I should not post beta bugs here then please delete.

How is the importing from a Movie Collector db working?  I havent tried the last couple builds but a month ago or so I tried the import and got errors. Knowing that it was beta I figured fixes were in the making.  If it is working I might hop on board.

send me your file and I'll get it working for the next official release.

High time for another public update of what we are doing and where we are at:

The team is growing and now includes a build manager, technical documentation writer, and a number of new programmers

I can't say when the next official release will be out but it should be coming soon.  For those of you that have not been following our daily builds or public discussions on our forums... ALOT of stuff has changed in OML.  We have our own built-in transcoding library, the mymovies plugin now supports folder scanning for individual mymovies.xml files.  We have our own xml format (oml.xml) for saving/storing individual file entries.  We are nearing the end of development on dvd audio channel/subtitle/chapter selection (on extenders!)  Alot of work is going into stability and memory usage, better error handling and media management.  We now handle our own dvd parsing management (parsing ifo files and the like) for better knowledge of the audio/subtitle/chapter/title info in the dvd you have (as opposed to what amazon says your dvd has).  Internationalization (globalization) support is coming along very nicely and pretty soon we will begin the process of actually doing the translations.  We now have a windows application that will let you the user create your own translations if we happen to be missing your language and find that it is missing.  This also will introduce other interesting features such as automatically activating subtitles in your system language if it is available if your default audio language is not available on the current title (does that make sense?)  Anyway, you will be able to change your language settings from within OML.

I'm pretty sure I've missed a lot but that gives you all some idea on what we have been working on.  Hopefully we will be stable enough for the next public release within another few weeks (fingers crossed!)  You can always play with our daily builds but they are completely alpha so expect trouble as in development features are working one day and broken the next.
