VLC won't start playing movie from AutoPlay

[theoldwizard1]

Win7, latest update. VLC 3.0.3, clean install

Same problem with Media -> Open Disc -> Disc -> Play

It does play from Media -> Open File -> drive -> VIDEO_TS (folder) -> VIDEO_TS.IFO

Hello,

can you test with Media -> Open Disc -> Disc -> Play with "No disc menu" checked ?

If it's the case, this means VLC has trouble to read this particular disc menu, and then I suggest you fill a ticket on our issue tracker (https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/)

Hi, could you provide logs?
Does this happens with a specific DVD or with every?

To help you, we need messages, to completely understand what your problems is.
To fix this, please be sure before you start the playback to:

1. Open: Tools -> Messages.
2. Set Verbosity to 2
3. Start playback to reproduce your issue
4. Save text in a file or copy into clipboard
5. Then paste the full resulting log here between [​code]and[​/code] (or use Pastebin.com if it's too long)

Also don't forget to name your Operating System and provide the VLC media player version.

Hi,

This looks indeed like an issue with the DVD menu of your disc.
Could you provide the reference of your DVD and file a bug as suggested.

The disc is a copy and I only copied the "main movie". The original does work.

Any work around to get it to autoplay, other than copying the entire disk and shrinking it ?

Looks like you created an incomplete DVD, except playing it without the menu, I'm not sure there is much you can do on VLC side.

If you're willing to mess with your Window registry (but I advice against), you can change in HKCR\DVD\shell\PlayWithVLC\command and HKCR\VLC.DVDMovie\shell\Open\command the dvd:// by dvdsimple://

otherwise, you can just RIP your DVD https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_HowTo/Rip_a_DVD/
