Can't automatically play VIDEO_TS
Posted: Tue Mar 12, 2019 7:00 pm
I've various files that are in VIDEO_TS format, that is to say the file association stored in coollector is with a VIDEO_TS folder, with the various bup, ifo etc. files inside.
In the past these have played perfectly from coollector, however now it is throwing up an error saying it can't find the file movies\whatever\VIDEO_TS, please make sure the drive is correctly connected.
Using the 'open file location' feature still works fine, and opens the right folder (so here it would open movies\whatever, with the VIDEO_TS folder in), and the media player will happily play the movie if pointed manually to the VIDEO_TS folder, but not directly from coollecter.
It seems as though it's now trying to select the folder as a file to pass to the media player, rather than passing the whole folder (to play as a DVD) - this used to work perfectly but at some point has stopped.
On a possibly related note, it doesn't seem possible to manually associate a VIDEO_TS folder with a movie in the database; when you navigate to and select the VIDEO_TS folder in the dialog, it just opens the folder with the bup,ifo etc. files inside, rather than recognising it as a 'movie file' in it's own right. I'm sure it used to be possible as I have some files that have been manually added like this; it may just be that I can't remember the correct procedure, of course.
Thanks,
