HI, I have a problem since I upgraded xbmc to frodo. I have PDVD installed on the same machine as XBMC. When I try to play a BluRay ISO XBMC starts PDVD which can't play the ISO.
How do I STOP XBMC from starting PDVD. I don't want it to run PDVD for ISOs or actual Blu Rays. I'm quite happy with XBMC to play them for me.

Are you using playcorefactory.xml in your xbmc data folder? It is normally in 'C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata. If so remove the codes for iso and bdmv.

No playcorefactory. Its the default one which has no reference to PDVD at all. If you select an ISO and click 'Giide' you get a menu which has some options. One of which is 'Play with' Selecting anything from here attempts to run PDVD. Another option 'Play from here' forces XBMC to play the iso itself which is what I want as the default behavoir.
There is no userdata\playcorefactory and as I said the system\playcorefactory has no reference to pdvd or any other external player.

XBMC frodo plays iso files without mounting to a virtual drive and no external player is required. But to view menu you should use external player. A few of my isos are playing with slight jerk in xbmc so I'm using tmt5 as external player. For this the iso should be mounted.

Hi it says "Since ISO and BDMV are combined with a single .bat, you can delete the PlayBDMV.bat from roaming folder" and the second post only relates to playBDMV so do I only need to do the xml and bat from the first post?

I think the problem is with the rule for iso files. Try <rule filenames="iso" filetypes="iso" player="PlayISO"/>

well it worked enough. the iso I have to left click and tel it to play from iso.bat but streams start fine and having to left click is ok by me to start the iso but I know there is a way to set it up to just click on either stream or iso and have them play correctly to the correct player ty for your help
