Since I'm using version 9.04.1 R20672 , Compiled 2 Jun I have to use advancedsettings.xml (I didn't see a stable release version download of a later build number).
When I right click an ISO, the play in external option is there and it launches the external player. Howerver when I try to play the ISO normally it just launches in the internal dvdplayer.
If I do the same with a m2ts file it works like I expect (clicking launches external player).
What do I need to do to have it launch an external player for a DVD inserted in the drive?
*edit* Found solution to DVD launch here in the 85+ pages of this thread
now to figure out how to ONLY launch the external player for DVD/BLURAY discs that are in the physical drive and not those that are in one of the shares
