Hello,
Since b2, video_ts subtitles don’t show with some movies. I can select the subtitle but they don’t show up in the movie.

@GPLrules: Since tv built the vanilla libdvdcss, no, I’d just rather make use of his hard work than download it myself and build it. You see, there’s this thing called “network of trust” and tv is in mine. I’m lazy, but you, sir, are a troll.

Would you not rather have the source code changes for that libdvdcss library from tokyovigilante and instructions on how to compile it correctly so that you can compile it yourself?

@tokyovigilante: Hey, long time no see! Welcome back. I’ll get this into the next release, can you email me the .so file? Thanks!

@Robert: I’m an idiot, my fix was wrong. It will *REALLY* be fixed in the next version.

“FIX: Timezone selection has been removed, and we now use the OS X timezone. This fixes the DST problem people reported, and allows the timezone selection to be handled in a single place.”

Hm, something must be haunted in my system. The clock is not the same as in my OS X… it’s one hour ahead. some missed setting on my part? (I’m in Sweden – GMT+1)

OK, I’ve managed to get encrypted DVD playback working by building a static libdvdcss.so.2 and placing it in /usr/lib. libdvdnav uses a standard dlopen call, and I wasn’t sure what the exact working path was when XBMC was running, so that seemed a safe enough place.

Hi Elan, good to see the progress you’re making. Have you looked at integrating libdvdcss at all? I have a region-free DVD drive which purposely has not had the region set, which means it needs libdvdcss to read DVDs.

I built it myself and dropped it in the Resources folder, but XBMC was still unable to find it (libdvdnav should look for libdvdcss.so.2 on non-Win32 platforms) but it was still unable to load it. I’d appreciate if you could take a look at some stage.

Regards,

Ryan

PS. This is the first spot in the log where things start to go wrong

01:24:18 T:2692521888 M:1618046976 DEBUG: Loading: /Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/system/ImageLib-osx.so

That’s positively the only difference between the b1 log and the b2 log, and is repeated eg each time it tries to access a thumbnail:

Does this help?

I don’t seem to have the privileges to do so. I’ll try to register. Indeed I have a log with b1 (which works) and one with b2 (which doesn’t), so comparing them may shed some light.
