Has anyone tried running windows in a VM and playing back DVDs? Would that work?<br>

Why not simply shell out to one of the better players out there. There is easy support for xine, mplayer, vlc and probably more. The myth player is pretty well trashed in 0.22 and so far its not much better in trunk (0.23) so use the custom command line to launch another player on your trouble disks or on all disks. I almost wish there was a way to toggle players from the remote at times. Its not ideal but the devs have been focusing on the core functions right now so this has suffered a bit. Its on my xmas wish list.</blockquote>
<div><br>I was assuming that the problem was linux/CSS vs windows (which seems to work) as opposed to being a problem in the myth dvd playback... I haven't tried using any other players.<br>You are right mplayer etc would be much more straightforward than VM. I've had some trouble with lirc + mplayer in the past. I don't have a keyboard attached so lirc is critical to me but I'll give it another try.<br>
