Unable to play BDMV/DVD files

[yangtfu]

all my bdmv files cannot be played by jellyfin plugin, but they can be played via smb path.
This is the same problem i'm facing:
https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/68437-bdmv-rips-not-playing-on-emby-402-with-embykodi-beta-add-on/

Does anyone know if it's a bug or configuration issue?

I don't have any bdmv to test with.
Does it play in the web interface? If not, it's an issue for the server https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues
If it does play in web, but not Kodi, that at least narrows down the possibilities some.

I'd suggest remuxing to mkv, but that's probably not practical or desirable for you.

It works in the web interface. Plus, i'm using kodi native play method in the add-on settings. And it works if i play index.bdmv directly from file path but not in jellyfin scraped items, so i think it's a plugin path parsing issue.

Can replicate; here is my log (copied from #327 )

I think I've fixed the issue, and submit a pull request #330 . But I need someone else to test the code, and can you do me a favor?

[holow29]

I can't test it right now (not at my setup) unfortunately. You might consider adding a similar function (or re-using) for DVDs to point to VIDEO_TS.IFO inside VIDEO_TS folder. (Such as /folder/Casino Royale (DVD)/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO)

[YK-Samgo]

I added the support for DVD folders in exactly the same way, and pushed it to another branch https://github.com/YK-Samgo/jellyfin-kodi/tree/DVDripSupport
@holow29 Could you please have it tested? And I will submit another pull request after confirming the function. Thanks.

By the way, you can see the target file in kodi by right click on the movie/long press OK on a romote control/ X with a Xbox controller -> Information -> Refresh.
