What I'm missing is the option to somehow see and pick the used playlist when playing back Blu-rays in folders using index.bdmv. This is a problem in the few cases when the disc uses obscured playlists or has interactive version that is longer than the normal movie.

As the quote above discuses, I'm also unable to get DSPlayer to launch from a .mpls file when the title uses obscured playlists, any title from a .mpls file for that matter.

My workaround is to launch MPC-HC as an external player via playercorefactory.xml when selecting an obscured playlist title which works beautifully (I had to add mpls to "rule filetypes" for it to launch). I can choose to use DVDPlayer or DSPlayer using the "play using" option for other titles (long pressing w/remote), although DSPlayer will still not launch unless I have System>Settings>Video>Discs>Blu-ray playback mode>Play main movie selected, which defeats the purpose and doesn't allow for playlist selection with MPC-HC.

I'd also be interested to know if this could be fixed or added and if this is possible at all. Sorry for what might be dumb questions. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions anyone can give...

I managed to hack together a workaround that seems to work quite nicely, but requires bit more configuration than yours to work.The negatives are that resume or automatically marking movie as watched when playback completes does not work.

Would be nice if Aracnoz would add "mpls" to DSPlayer mediasconfig,... I don't know why they are excluded from the list in the first place.

I don't provide warranty or support with my hacky scripts

Thanks for the reply and script suggestion. I'd rather not mess with, as you say, hacky scripts (no offense), and lose functionality in the process. My goal is to be able to play the few obscured titles I have without having to change settings and players to do so (minor inconvenience).

@aracnoz... If it is possible to add mpls functionality to DSPlayer I would b eternally grateful. Donation made for all your efforts, it's much appreciated. Hope ur thirsty...
