Hey guys, just picked up PowerDVD 13 a few hours ago and I'm trying to get it set up to work as an external player for XBMC to play strictly blurays. I'd like my PowerDVD 13 to play blu rays and the default player in XBMC to play my DVDs (is this a good solution, or would you guys recommend something else?). In any regard, it doesn't work! I've tried a few adaptations of other peoples solutions, but as far as I can tell, my .xml and .bat file should work well together. Would anyone mind taking a look?
My PlayDisc.bat file reads:
The .bat file fires up PowerDVD 13 in Cinema mode just fine, so I know the problem isn't with that.
My playercorefactory.xml file reads:
The problem I'm experiencing is that when I select "Play Disc" in XBMC, literally nothing happens. Am I doing something silly?
My PlayDisc.bat file reads:
Quote:@echo off
rem you can place your PlayDisc file in \Roaming\XBMC\userdata\
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD13\Movie\PowerDVD Cinema\PowerDVDCinema13.exe" D:\
