Embed ISO or DVD (VIDEO_TS) in webpage

[pno]

Hello,

I am trying the following.
I have a webserver (on QNAP TS809Pro) where I also have a library with video's. Most are in direct file format (mpg, mp4, avi, wmv etc.). Some of them are in ISO format (DVD or BlueRay), some are in DVD Folder format (VIDEO_TS).

I made a small webpage, embedding the VLC Active-x plugin.
Adding to the playlist a directly videofile like: playlist.add("http://www.xxxx.yyy/media/Video2/VIDEO_TS/VTS_02_1.VOB") this videofile will play.
Adding to the playlist a DVD-folder like: playlist.add("http://www.xxxx.yyy/media/Video2/VIDEO_TS") this DVD-folder will not play.
Adding to the playlist a DVD-folder like: playlist.add("w:\\media\\Video2\\VIDEO_TS") this DVD-folder will play (w: is a mapping to the shared networkdrive on the QNAP).

Does anybody know what the reason is that a folder playing via http will not work, but a videofile within that folder does? Is it a limitation of VLC or is it a limitation of the HTTP-protocol?
I also tested with other protocols like DVD, RTSP, but that does not help.

Greetings.
Paul.

J'ai le même problème.
Cela vient du serveur qui refuse de servir un dossier. Mon serveur est IIS. Il accepte de servir des fichier .vob mais il refuse de
servir le dossier VIDEO_TS qui contient ces fichiers. Je n'ai pas encore trouvé le moyen de forcer IIS.
Si au lieu d'utiliser le serveur, je charge directement les pages html sur mon navigateur, il n'y a pas de problème le plugin VLC accepte les instructions
lien.playlist.add("VIDEO_TS");
lien.playlist.playItem(action);

et je visualise le DVD sans problème.
