Cheers, Steve
The only way to hide the desktop is by using this "<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>" code, set Windows taskbar to auto hide and set TMT5 to launch in fullscreen. I don't think there is a way to hide TMT5 screen completely. It is how TMT5 launch the movie......

If you don't want to see Windows 7 completely, you have to do this- Customizing Windows for XBMC.....

Hi bluray, I changed the code to <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc> but it still shows up ;( Any other suggestions and are you also using Windows 7 64-bit?

Image
Yes, I am using W7 64-bit....

Hmmmm....I thought that you set taskbar to "Auto-hide". Why did the taskbar still exposed on the bottom of the page? Is DTS-HD your desktop background?

With <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>, you should never see the desktop. It should jump from XBMC UI directly to TMT5 screen. I don't see my desktop with this code....

Download the files below and save all three files in "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata" folder......launch XBMC and insert your favorite blu-ray disc, and then click "Play Disc" option withink XBMC UI to start the movie....

-playercorefactory.xml
-playdisc.bat
-playbdmv.bat


Thank you so much!...what a headache that was!!...works pretty well so far - I still get the annoying Windows-window/toolbar at the bottom when it goes to TMT5...but disappears after I click play on the film/bluray menu to start the actual movie. So thanks!! And it doesn't revery back to XBMC when I click stop...but I can control that with my iPhone/ipad - so not too bothered.

Quick question - probe not of this post - why does XBMC sometimes duplicate the movies in the lists?...I have 3 of 1 film and a lot of duplicates...weird...still trying to get the thing to behave how I want it - and not too kid/wife friendly atm....sure that comes in time though....

I'm glad that it is working now. To get back to XBMC, you need to press STOP button and then BACK button on MCE remote.....

You might want to clean your library within XBMC.....

Hi bluray, yes it is on autohide but it popped up when I made the screenshot. The DTS-HD logo is indeed my windows desktop background.

I copy/paste it but it still goes to desktop first, everything else works fine.

That is weird....I tried the same playercorefactory on three HTPC's in my house, and all three HTPC works the same way "jumping from XBMC directly to TMT5 without showing desktop"......

There must be something else causing it to show desktop....when I can think of something else, I'll let you know....

Thanks bluray, I think dpar on page 105 has the exact same problem. Perhaps it's also possible to start the BAT file (cmd) minimized, not sure.

Thanks for all your help

That is the thing, I and many others don't see BAT command and desktop as you and dpar......the only time I see the desktop is when I use this "<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>", and the BAT command never show up......
