The issue is that with Frodo open when I insert a Blu-ray, MCP-HC is opening and playing as it should, but I have no XBMC controls over it. So I have to use my wireless keyboard to control it.

Here are my posts in the "Another External Player Code, but Very Simple to Setup" forum, but no one seems to have an answer. I'm wondering if something changed in this Frodo version of App?

You mean that with Eden the remote app is able to control MCP-HC? If yes, I think that the change isn't inside the app but it's inside the Frodo API:

Let me know

Yes, your app worked perfectly in Eden to control MCP-HC. It doesn't work at all in Frodo when using MCP-HC.

Any way you can test this? I can supply the playercorefactory.xml and/or playdisc.bat if needed.

not needed, it's a known behaviour due the API change in the link I've posted above. I should switch to the event server for the old behavior or find another way maybe asking support for a json API extension (if feasible)

Well I just did some more testing, this time with an actual keyboard touchpad combo and I have the same issue.

Would the API change effect a real keyboard as well?

I don't think, I'm guessing that the root cause of your issue is this api change, due the fact the remote control app does the exactly same calls with both eden and frodo.
