Hi,
for simple Bluray playback, I wanted to invoke PowerDVD from XBMC main menu.
Unfortunately I found no how-to on achieving this, so I digged a bit into the XBMC skin and script interfaces.
Currently I'm using this approach (using xtv here):
<item>
<icon>icon-disc.png</icon>
<thumb>icon-disc-blur2.png</thumb>
<label>Bluray</label>
<onclick>xbmc.RunScript(Q:\scripts\powerdvd.py)</onclick>
</item>
For some reason, my script seems not to be invoked. Is there something that I need to pay attention to?
Second issue is how to minimize XBMC and invoke PowerDVD. Do you have a hint on how to do this? Does os.system() work from within XBMC?
Or, after all, are there better approaches for invoking such application from XBMC?
cheers,
Stephan
