ICS VIDEO_TS player?

I would like to know the answer to this too.


I have all my DvD's backed up direct copy to my HTPC (so when they damaged I can simply burn them back to disc) with all the interactive menu's etc just as a dvd has (it's a win7 WMC machine) which has no problems playing back from other Win7 pc's on the network - wmc, xbmc, etc etc


I got the android working via remote potato and RMC (remote Media Center) which i downloaded from google - so i can see all my folders and files on the windows media center no problem.


But all the stupid android apps don't seem capable of realising / understanding that the entire folder is infact a replica of a DvD file system!


The only way to watch the film is to keep playing one file after the other - and that if you can figure out the right order! And there is no way to play the dvd menu so if you want subtitles on, deleted scenes etc you screwed.

*shakes head in disgust*

 

I'm sure that's entirely possible. I bet it's just not been developed or implemented, because most people just don't store DVD images and DVD file systems on their phones and tablets. Just one DVD movie is something like 8-9 gigabytes. Usual method of playing DVD, EVD and Blu-ray movies on mobile devices, like Android, is to transcode them into a more efficient and smaller format.

Also if you're talking about Microsoft Windows Media Center, don't you really need a proper and proprietary Windows Media Center extender device for that, like an Xbox360? - because of the DRM.
