Hi, I have problems to play dvd folders using XBMC's dvd player. It plays but very very slowly. Is this the right place to report something like this?
I own a AS-202TE.
Thanks.

Re: slow dvd player
As I remember, AS-3XX/AS-2XX cannot do hardware decode on mpeg2 stream (DVD format). It will apply CPU to decode those contents. I own AS-304T, however my contents are mpeg4 or H.264 formats. I'm not 100% sure about it. You can check it with asustor support guy: http://support.asustor.com/

I don't know what kind of answer you can expect to get from support. XBMC is no longer being supported by its own developer team.
As such you may want to start thinking about alternatives. Plex will work, if you prepare your media first. Take a look the the 3rd and 4th links in my sig for details.

Re: slow dvd player
Thank you guys for your help. I didnt know about mpeg2, I was a bit surprised because any other video file plays just fine. I was happy to be able to replace my media player with the nas, to have more space, less cables. No big deal. Thank you!
