Win Play using option
#1
Hi,
I am using the External Player function in Kodi,
I'm wondering if it is possible to get the option to shop up on a physical disk.
All that's possible to o with a physical disk is play or eject it.
Is there a way to get another option next to Eject tray that is "Play using.."
Or maybe by right clicking the Play disc button?
Anyone that knows of this?

Play using is invoked via the context menu "C"

For playing the disc media via an external player you might be able to define some more additional rule to extend functionality, such as an argument string of:

Code:
<args>"E:"</args>
<args>"{E:}"</args>

...... for the specific disc drive you use to play your dvd, etc.

Wiki excerpt:
args: Arguments to pass to the external player executable.

You can also use a .bat file, have a look here, this thread "from bluray": http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=116724

There is also a thread for help on external players if the above doesn't pan out:

Hi,
I have tried the context menu "C" when standing on a "Play disc" but no context menu appears.

If I understand <args> is it not for telling the player what to do like fullscreen and so?
I don't want every item I want to play external to end up playing my inserted dvd or blu-ray.

I would realy like to be able to use the context menu on my "Play disc" menu item.
Is that possible?

AFAIK context menu can't be invoked on a sub menu item of play disc
If you refer to the link from "bluray" you can possibly use the playdisc.bat file to launch player of choice
