Are there any updates to this topic ?
I have exactly the same problems.
It seems, that xbmc tries to handle the blue ray itself and doesn't trigger the external player....

btw. did this work in dharma ?

It worked fine for me in Dharma.
I still haven't seen a solution and haven't the time to play around anymore.

I set up (bluray) file and it was not working,i asked a friend who is a programmer
and he set all the file to work with media player classic,everything was working.

insert a bluray start from the main menu ,but i have a hd homerun set in xbmc,it a stream file ,and when i was pressing on a tv channel,the bluray disc was starting ,weird....

So i decide to remove all the file playercore factory ect.., and now i can watch bluray disc from the main menu ,so i dont know what the point of using a external player ,maybe for dts hd Huh

?

I'm still puzzled to why some got it to work and some don't! I configured 3 HTPC's and 1 laptop in the house with this "Another External Player Code, but Very Simple to Setup". I'm able to use MPC-HC, TMT and PDVD as XBMC external players with these codes. I don't have anything special in my HTPC's other than W7, XBMC, TMT, PDVD, MPC-HC, AnyDVD HD and VCD. I uses the same bat/xml files in all my HTPC's. The external player and XBMC PlayDisc options works fine! :confused2:

maybe cause you know what youre doing
My mistake was bad adress of the software and i was unable to assing ffmpeg to mpc cause i use to have too much software for bluray(my friend told me it was priority in windows)so solution change priority or remove software and he use saf ver 5.0.2(codec pac that come from media portal ver 6 dont use ffmpeg,well i think)

maybe it is related to this bug ?
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=66479

I also can't play audio CDs as XBMC seems to have problems with USB-drives. I have a zotac zbox bluray where the Blu Ray drive is connected via USB...

@bluray did you also check your setup with an USB blu ray drive ?

OP is this still an issue for you with Beta2?
I haven't tried yet but am keen to know others experiences..

I am also having this issue with beta1 and now in Eden beta 2. I have the 60 second delay if a disc is inserted and my playercorefactory.xml is not launching my external player (TMT5).

Code:
<playercorefactory>

<players>

   <player name="TMT5" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">

     <filename>C:\Program Files\Scripts\TMT5.cmd</filename>

     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>

     <hideconsole>true</hideconsole>    

     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

   </player>

   <player name="TMT5ISO" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">

     <filename>C:\Program Files\Scripts\TMT5ISO.cmd</filename>

     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>

     <hideconsole>true</hideconsole>    

     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

   </player>

</players>

<rules action="prepend">

   <rule name="BlurayDisc" protocols="bd" player="TMT5"/>

   <rule filetypes="iso" filename=".*bluray.*" player="TMT5ISO"/>

</rules>

</playercorefactory>

Found the answer in this [thread=121224]thread[/thread]. You have to remove the 's' from protocols.

Code:
<rule name="BlurayDisc" [b]protocol[/b]="bd" player="TMT5"/>

I did these....

<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>

<rule protocols="bd|dvd" player="Disc_Player"/>

It works fine, and it is the most stable on my HTPC's.
