Launch PDVD in Cinema mode & add Alt+F4 assigned to mce keyboard as exit button in XBMC activity if you use a harmony. XBMC and PDVD remote control button mapping took a special blend of Windows Media Center SE & Windows Media Center keyboard so the buttons worked in both at the same time.
I need to re-quote this because I've not been able to figure out how to add a multi-keystroke command to my Harmony One. Everything else is programmed and works well accept being able to exit PowerDVD.
I'm now having an issue when I do exit PowerDVD back to XBMC that the resolution is wrong and the XBMC menu is HUGE! I have to window (backslash) then full-screen XBMC to correct it. That is annoying.
But not as annoying as discovering Cinavia giving me errors on some of my 3D ISO files. Has anyone had any luck sorting that mess out? I understand studios trying to protect their billions and so on but when I OWN nearly 100 3D movies and gladly pay for them in store I should be able to use them. Even trying to play back a 3D Blu-ray in my PC brings up the error code and that's just garbage.

Why doesn't one use the MCE.exe from TMT?, uMCEPlayer?.exe? Is there a special reason not using it with XBMC and the external player setup?

I am wondering to upgrade my HTPC with Blu-Ray reader.
But for me it looks like it is indeed much problem to get this to work, in a good way.
With a remote control (Logitech Harmony). It is set up to send key board commands, not the MCE remote commands.
I have tried to read this thread, but it is very much back and forward.
As I understand, I have to use an external player to watch Blu-Rays. Will this be controlled by the remote?
I will most likely just use the external player to play Blu-Ray discs. As of now.
Is there an simple solution for this? It had being nice to know before I buy one.

I must say that most BR iso's are playing fine from within XBMC but when one ones to play 3D BR then that must be done by an external player solution. If you don't wanna play 3D BR then XBMC can handle that fine in most cases, even the BR disc's (although not all of them).

So you say that discs also plays in xbmc, as a normal dvd disc?
e.g: I insert an disc, and the play disc appears, and then it is just to hit play as normal (with dvds)

The few BR disc's I have, autostart after placing when the optical (DVD) auto play option is active in the video menu. But most of my BR collection are iso's.
