raidflex Wrote:I have now one more issue. I found that I cannot fast forward, rewind or pause the movie. Now I could live with this, but is there a way to get the controls to work?

I am using a Harmoney 700 remote and the Soundgraph Imon IR system. The Harmoney remote is setup as a MCE remote and the imon IR is setup also for a MCE remote.

About to give up on this, it's not making sense to me..

Code:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
   <player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
     <filename>C:\Program Files\Media Player Classic - Home Cinema\mpc-hc64.exe</filename>
     <args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
   </player>
   <player name="PowerDvd" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
     <filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD11\PowerDVD11.exe</filename>
     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
   </player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
   <rule filetypes="mkv" filename=".*720p.*" player="MPC-HC"/>
   <rule name="Blu-Ray" protocols="bd" player="PowerDvd"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

opening an mkv file works fine, MPC opens in full screen and plays the file.
but clicking on "Play Disc" in the main menu pops up "Working..." for half a second in the bottom right corner and then nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

You need to make sure that this directory in playdisc ("C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD11\PowerDVD11.exe" E is correct on your HTPC and this directory in playercorefactory (C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\PlayDisc.bat) is correct on your HTPC as well. You should be able to use Play Disc option in XBMC.

collegebored Wrote:as i understand this, there shouldn't be any difference between specifying the external player executable directly in playercorefactory.xml or through playdisc batch file.
either way, ive tried it both ways -- using direct link to powerdvd in playercorefactory (as i posted) as well as using playdisc batch file in playercorefactory (downloaded from this thread) and loading poweredvd in the batch file. same exact results, nothing happens when i click Play Disc in xbmc. its confusing the hell out of me.

is there any chance at all that xbmc gets confused by multiple drives in the system (i have real bluray drive and 2 virtual ones)?

edit: i downloaded the two files you posted specifically for my config and same exact thing happens, "working..." pops up for a second and then nothing..

bluray Wrote:Stick with me here- using my codes that you downloaded, do as following:

1. remove (<args>"{1}" /fullscreen</args>) under (<filename>C:\Users\[COLOR="black"]Dell\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userd ata\PlayDisc.bat</filename>) [/COLOR]in playercorefactory. If your HTPC user is not "Dell", you need to change it to the correct user on your HTPC.

2. make sure that (E) in PlayDisc.bat "C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD11\PowerDVD11.exe" E: is your BD-ROM drive. If it is not, change it to the correct BD-ROM drive on your HTPC.

collegebored Wrote:same result. bizzare isnt it? its like the rule <rule protocols="bd|dvd" player="Disc_Player"/> just doesnt work and it tries to run the disc with default player every time (which works for dvds but not for blurays).

I'm on Eden Beta3 if it makes any difference. Some other threads I've seen suggest adding <rule name="Blu-Ray" protocols="bd" player="Disc_Player"/>, but that didnt do anything either.

bluray Wrote:The rule "<rule protocols="bd|dvd" player="Disc_Player"/>" works fine on my 3 HTPC's and others in this thread got it to work with the same rule too. I'm not sure why it doesn't work on your HTPC's.

One last try-

1. Download "AnyDVD HD"- don't worry, you'll have 14 days trial without string attach.
2. Reboot HTPC
3. Launch XBMC
4. Load BD movie in BD-ROM D:

We'll how it turn out!
