[mythtv-users] Xine vs. Internal with DVD .iso images

[Nick Ellson]

It was suggested that my libdvdread library needed updating and that xine 
would then require the "dvd://%s" instead of "%s" that had been using. I 
was on 0.9.6 for libdvdread and there was 0.9.7 in the Gentoo portage 
tree. I updated and tried it, that itself did not work but then I altered 
my default player command to include the "dvd://%s" and that DID work.

So thanks for the suggestions! Xine is now functional as the default .iso 
DVD image player.
