I have found new heights of frustration.
I cannot get TMT5 to provide playback without constant stutter. Attempts to adjust refresh rate manually or through third party programs still result in constant stutter.
I have installed PowerDVD12 and so far, it plays the ISO files very smoothly without issue and auto adjusts the refresh rate when the ISO starts to play.
My issue is how to get PowerDVD to properly launch and come to focus.
I have a GT430 Nvidia card and my ISO files are stored on my network on another Windows computer. I must use Daemon tools to properly mount the files. I am running Windows 8 pro 64 bit
From XBMC Frodo RC3, I select my ISO file such as Spiderman. It will mount and launch PowerDVD, but powerDVD is in the background, not in focus. I have to then Alt-Tab to get to it and then manually click the play button.
How do I get XBMC to launch PowerDVD 12 and autoplay the disc and come to focus? I have the settings in PowerDVD to always be on top as well. Sometimes even when on top, I have no keyboard control to select menus or resume playback unless first Alt-Tabbing in.
Also, if I leave the unmounts command in place, it will mount the iso, launch powerdvd in the background, and then unmounts the image. When this happens, I can't even manually select play in PowerDVD.
Below are my playercorefactory.xml and Playiso.bat info.
Please help.
