Hi,
After updating from PowerDVD 15 and Kodi15 to Jarvis 16.1 and PowerDVD 16 Ultra, my iso-files do not work as before. The mount starts and PowerDVD is starting but the film is not played. I have to press the stop button in PowerDVD and the play button again and then the film is starting.
I thougt, may be a timeout is needed between the mount and PowerDVD start, but without success.

Here is my playercorefactory

Code:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
  <player name="ISO_BDMV_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
   <filename>C:\Users\HTPC\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\PlayISO.bat</filename>
   <args>"{1}"</args>
   <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
  </player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<!-- Bluray ISO/BDMV -->
  <rule filetypes="iso|bdmv|mpls" player="ISO_BDMV_Player"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

and my playiso.bat:

Code:

playiso.bat
Set file=%1
Set dummy=%file:iso=%
IF NOT %dummy% == %file% (GOTO playiso) ELSE (goto next)
:next
Set file=%1
Set dummy=%file:mpls=%
IF NOT %dummy% == %file% (GOTO plaympls) ELSE (goto playbdmv)
:playiso
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 %1
timeout 10
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD16\PowerDVD.exe" E:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 /u
GOTO end
:plaympls
set pth=%1
set pth=%pth:~1,-25%
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD16\PowerDVD.exe" "%pth%" exit
GOTO end
:playbdmv
set pth=%1
set pth=%pth:BDMV\MovieObject.bdmv=%
set pth=%pth:BDMV\index.bdmv=%
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD16\PowerDVD.exe" "%pth%" exit
GOTO end
:end
exit

Any idea how to fix that? Thanks!

Does PowerDVD play them directly?

[Commander71]

No, it starts loading the iso file but will not finish and ends with an error. Only when i mount with another tool it will be played.

Probably something to do with the virtual drive set-up and the software to create it, try something else. I'm thinking daemon tools.
