2nd would like hoster to play files right from disk this import and del crap is a pain unless it works fine for you then good for you and im sure some things work for some and not for others and maybe all things work for some.

i don't remember hoster playing vcd directly from a disc, you have to import them first as a dat.file once imported click on the video and hoster will find them..i think it all started on version 4.xxx i might be wrong, but after 4.06 you can only see the vcd video on viewers screen..

I have always and still can play video files in Hoster straight from Video disc's. Just click the video tab and navigate to your CD/DVD, it probably depends what codec you have on your system. But you can't play CDG graphics.

Yes bill it could play a single file ay a time from disk video or mp3 file. Now with hoster running will not show any files on cd drive or disks after tunning hoster off then files can be seen. Hoster is taking over the drive and I can understand this but for some reason its not showing files for me and if it is for other then im missing something it was working at some point and on the same lappy also. Wish I had just left the version that did what i needed alone and never upgraded and then find things have changed and dont work like before so yes its my fault.
