Apple TV - DVD ISO No Selection possible

Postby erikson » 22 Feb 2025 15:55

VLC 3.6.0 on Apple TV: I open a DVD ISO. It shows me the DVD menu. And then I am not able to select any point of the menu. Every key I press on the Apple remote opens the menues of VLC but not on the DVD menu, so I am not able to play any content.

Thank you for every hint to solve that

Sadly, we are unable to support DVD menus (or DVDs properly in general) on Apple TV and iOS. Technically, it is actually working but we are legally not able to distribute this as the libraries required are licensed under the GPLv2 which is incompatible with the App Store terms of service. For iOS devices, we might be able to do this for side loaded binaries in the EU in the future. However, so far, the EU did not mandate Apple to allow side loading on Apple TV.

That's a pity, but thanks for the clarification.
