Embedded Player - Playing ripped DVD

[Spook_Man]

Hello..
I'm creating a website which will be used for a fair. The PC has a touch-screen and will be used for display websites, play videos, etc. Everything is going to be stored locally, so using an embedded VLC player works best because of the different video formats, etc.

The DVD is one which was created internally by another department, so there isn't any protection, etc. It's been ripped so there's a video_ts folder with the .IFO and .VOB files within.

Code: Select all

<embed type='application/x-vlc-plugin' name='VLC' autoplay='yes' loop='yes' volume='100' width='800' height='600' target='./video/dvd/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO.VOB'>

This doesn't play the DVD; I just get a blank VLC player screen. I can open this location in the stand-alone version of VLC.

Yet:

Code: Select all

<embed type='application/x-vlc-plugin' name='VLC' autoplay='yes' loop='yes' volume='100' width='800' height='600' target='./video/thehistoryof.mov'>

This plays the .MOV file without any issues.

Any ideas?

Play the .ifo

Hello Jean-Baptiste,
Thank you for the reply.

I tried a number of the different .IFO files (video_ts.ifo, vts_01_0.ifo, etc.) and I keep getting the same issue; black screen on the VLC embedded player.

Is there a log somewhere which will tell me if it can't find the file, etc?

Thanks..
