After you create PlayISO.bat for PDVD10, you can test it by right click on your favority ISO movie and open it with PlayISO.bat. If everything is correct, it should mount the ISO movie and start playing movie with PDVD10.....if everything work fine, then you can create playercorefactory.xml file for it....(2012-11-25, 19:03)bluray Wrote:(2012-11-25, 05:24)TolkienBard Wrote: Is there any way to use external player with only specific types of playback? I'm thinking specifically in terms of launching PowerDVD 10 for playing blu-ray. I would like to still be able to use the internal player for normal DVDs.Yes, that is the whole purpose of using external player. It allows us to use XBMC as front end and any external player of our choice as backend. We mixes and matches anyway we want it. Another word; you can have PDVD10 playback blu-ray, XBMC playback DVD, TMT5 playback ISO, etc.........
I'll have to keep poking about then. I was trying to set things up so selecting one of my Blu ray movies (all of which are .iso on my HDs) would launch Power DVD 10 so that I could watch the movie without having to convert it into something else first. However, once I went through adding the external player, I ran into the problem of Power DVD 10 being the only way to watch movies, and still not the Blu rays because it wouldn't read the .iso and for whatever reason, the disc was not mounting to a virtual drive.
However, it's still good to know that XBMC can do what I am looking for. It means I haven't been wasting my time trying to figure all this out.
