Unable to play Video_TS

[PatInTheHat 0]

I recently just downloaded the lastest update for MB3 and now I am unable to play any of my movies in Video_TS form. (previous version of MB3 worked flawlessly)

 

All of my movie titles and cover art display but when I click on the movie I see two sub folders Audio_TS and Video_TS and nothing happens if I click on these folders, previously it would give me the movie details and the play button.

 

My folder structure looks like this: \\tower\Movies\8 Mile\VIDEO_TS

which contains the .vob files

\\tower\Movies\8 Mile

contains files such as backdrop.jpg and mymovies.xml

 

Other formats are playing with no problems.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

What client?

Do they work in the dash?

I have the same problem: Windows 8 Media Center with Media Browser 3, and Video_ts folders are not recognized...

They do not appear in the dash at all. All I see are these trailer files which I didn't know I had.

I can't attempt to play them at all

Unfortunately I am unsure. I set up MB3 months ago

Here you are, this is just one example, but I have dozens of movies with the same structure, all the same. I hope you can help me with it.

unfortunately i'm having trouble reproducing. let me know how it works with the next server release.  if it's still reproducing i'll have to take a look over teamviewer. thanks.

Just a small addition. I've also noticed .avi files are also no longer being picked up by my MB3

Interesting, I just noticed this. Using the Dash if i do a search for a movie that is in DVD format (video_ts subdirectory structure) it finds it but no supporting images, just the primary and doesn't run. If I look in the actual directory, all the images are there. If I got to the movies tab, it doesn't show them at all!!

 

I then checked MB Classic and the primary image show in the Movies list, but when I click on it it shows a blank, and no options to run.

 

On to MB Theater, doesn't even show up at all.

 

I am assuming that a previous version saw the folders and pulled down the images, and I distinctly remember me testing to see if DVD structured files ran under this, but not now. I'm up for a Teamviewer anytime!

the next server release is coming soon so just wait for that. if it's still a problem i'll debug further with you

Architect -> thanks. I also just noticed it is not picking up the .avi's also..  Scratch that, jumped the gun, had a filter set ..

Just install newest update 3.0.5097.16641 and still no joy!

Updated to the latest beta. Same issue. I have also noticed .mkv's are not showing either

I'm having the same issue with Web Client, MB Classic, and MB Theater.    Folder art, and backdrops are recognized, but instead of being greeted with a Play button I get a VIDEO_TS folder that does nothing when clicked on.  This worked with MB 2.X, but since upgrading this month to MB 3.X I haven't gotten it to work.  MKV and ISO work fine.

[tanStaafl 14]

No fix for DVD formats in this version either 3.0.5099.2102. No problems with other formats including .mkv

sometime soon i'll teamviewer with one of you

I guess I'll chime in as well. I have similar issues as well, can't see all of my folders which contain Video_TS subs. Also MB3C is getting confussed as to whether it's a folder with subs, or a folder with a movie in it.

 

Thanks,
