A Murder of Crows Wrote:You were right. i found out some very interesting things about my system tonight.

I need a new video card that supports bitstreaming properly. Until then, i have to set my home theater to Direct and set windows to 7.1 speaker setup for my AMD HDMI output.

I was able to watch HD-DVDs properly last night with TMT5, and i'm rather stoked about it. I think i'm going to hold off on doing any more configuration until i get that new video card, as i'm pretty much of the mindset to set it once right and forget it.

This is on windows 7 64 bit with Eden beta 1. Only really want this so I can watch the blu ray discs I have

Will post up debug log and what my playercore and batch scripts look like when I have some more time.

Code:

Current Playercore

<playercorefactory>

   <player name="Disc_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="false">
<!-- You can place your PlayDisc file anywhere -->

Play Disc.bat, which loads the player

@echo off

Did have this but it didn't work at all

bluray Wrote:Okay, let try it again. Do as following:

1. Download these files- Playercorefactory and PlayISO
2. Remove the existing Playercorefactory and PlayISO from your (C:\Users\big mal\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata) folder
3. Place both downloaded Playercorefactory and PlayISO files without any change in your (C:\Users\big mal\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata) folder
4. Double click on the new Playercorefactory to make sure that there is no error. You can close it afterward.
5. Double click on PlayISO, and it should launch TMT5 without playing anything. You can close it afterward.
6. Select one blu-ray 3d ISO movie, and name it "The Dark Knight_3d"- I'm using "The Dark Knight_3d" as an example
7. Right click on the "The Dark Knight_3d", and scroll down to "Mount" and select "Virtual CloneDrive N:"
8. Double click on PlayISO again, and it should launch TMT5 and playback "The Dark Knight_3d" automatically. You can stop the movie and close everything afterward.
9 Right click on the "The Dark Knight_3d" again, and scroll down to "Unmount" to unmount it.
10. Launch XBMC>Videos>Files and select "The Dark Knight_3d". It should playback the movie using TMT5.

Good Luck!

bluc Wrote:Folowed your instructions everything worked as you said except for playing them from within xbmc. It just starts playing from the built in xbmc player.

bluray Wrote:I'm puzzled by it too. The only thing leff to do is sending your HTPC to me...I'm just kidding!

The codes are correct, but for whatever reason XBMC is not seeing playercorefactory in roaming folder. Sorry that I cannot help you further.

The only thing left is un-install XBMC completely and delete all XBMC folders in roaming and program file and remove everything relate to XBMC in registry. You can install re-install XBMC 11.0 Beta 1 afterward!

bluray Wrote:You can give the codes below a try:

1. Replace your existing Playercorefactory codes with the codes below:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="Disc_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Users\Sean\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\PlayDisc.bat</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen</args>
<forceontop>false</forceontop>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<!-- Bluray Disc -->
<rule protocols="bd|dvd" player="Disc_Player"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

2. Your PlayDisc codes should be fine as shown below and you used the correct PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe in it:

@echo off
rem you can place your PlayDisc file anywhere

"C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD11\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe" E:

ThY91 Wrote:Hate to say it but that actually made it worse it won't launch at all now, tries to play with the default player.

I also can't figure out why xbmc becomes non-resonsive for 30 seconds when the disc is inserted and if the disc is left in and xbmc has to launch it does the xbmc splash screen and then just sits on a black screen.

Using beta 1

Thanks for the help with this, I will play around with this more tonight and hopefully will get it working
