Any software around for streaming DVD ISO's to remote devices.

Hi there
Was wondering if there was any software around that would stream DVD / BLU RAY ISO images to remote devices.

Currently I have DVD / BLU RAY de-crypted ISO rips stored on NAS but to play the DVD's on remote TV with things like PLEX media server I have to rip these to MKV (I use MAKEMKV - only takes seconds for standard DVD from HDD ISO but seems a waste to store these AND the ISO's. I keep the ISO's as I can re-create the originals plus they have menus plus special features etc.

I don't want to Mirror screen from a Phone etc -- the SERVER should be able to dish up the ISO content which I could then play using either the TV's standard remote controller or via a controller app on a Mobile phone.

Once the playback starts the Phone can be switched off etc --i.e the phone app would only be used as a "Handset" for controlling something like Google Chromecast.

Any ideas here

Thanks

Mezzmo says they do ISO, but i dont have anything in that format to test, I rip all mine as MP4

Hi there
Thanks --I'll give that a wirl --I've got an old machine with a version of Mezzmo on it plus the mobile phone app --I switched from Mezzmo to PLEX a while ago because of an issue with subtitles but I might give that another wirl.

I have been ripping to MKV (with subtitles where appropriate) but if I can play the ISO remotely that would be great - worth upgrading the licence.
I 've been making decrypted / de-regionalized ISO's with AnyDVD.

The only disadvantage is that I'd have to run Mezzmo from a Windows VM on my NAS server -- that's not a problem as the transcoding isn't a big deal - my Wifi is mega fast too so plenty of time to allow for large buffers -- on the fly transcoding these days isn't (or doesn't have to be ) a huge CPU HOG.
remember the transcoding only needs to keep up with you watching in Real time (plus a bit for buffering) unlike Ripping where you want to do it reasonably quickly.

Works apparently to Chromecast too --I'll have a go with that as well.

Thanks
