(2013-03-23, 16:54)xxfury2xx Wrote: I'm having several issues with trying to get this to work, so I was hoping that I could get some help.

1. When an external player launches I get a tapping sound, like wiggo described earlier in the thread.
I already tried switching from direct sound to WASAPI, but when I make the switch I get no audio whatsoever. I made sure I have the correct drivers (not microsoft ones) and went into sound settings in windows to make sure everything was setup right. This started with Frodo, as this issue didn't exist with Eden.

2. When XBMC launches TMT 5 I get no audio, while video works fine
If I start up TMT 5 manually then everything works as it should.

3. ISOs don't start up.
While BDMVs work (without audio when launched from XBMC), if I select an ISO then TMT 5 launches and it just stops at the screen where I can select the current ISO or the last played item with my mouse. It doesn't automatically start playing. I can see that Virtual Clone has mounted the ISO.

These are my problems so far. I would greatly appreciate any help.

My setup:
HTPC (core i5 3570k-HD4000)--->TV with HDMI---->PC speakers with 3.5mm jack

I used the three files (playercorefactory, playdisc, playiso) from the first page. I made no changes to them, other than changing the username from "Dell" to mine.

The last issue is that tapping sound when TMT5 or any other external player is launched. I setup everything in audio output to look exactly like the screenshot bluray posted. I tried both directsound and WASAPI and that damned tapping sound always pops up, ruining the viewing experience. Any other way to try and troubleshoot this issue?

Thanks for all of your help so far guys, I really appreciate it!

I've just finished watching a clip on youtube and was fascinated by how he managed to get 3D Blu Rays to play via TMT.

I did a search and saw this post, the problem I have, is that I don't want to watch all Media via TMT, just 3D Isos.

If possible, can someone explain to me how I would do this please?

Many thanks

Wiggo

First thing you will need to do is make sure your 3D ISO's are named in a way that distinguishes them from 2D ISO's

For Example add "_3D" to the end of the file name -

Avatar_3D.iso

Now you will need this as the contents of your playercorefactory.xml


<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="3DISO_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Users\Wiggo\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\PlayISO.bat</filename>
<args>"{1}"</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
</player>

</players>

<rules action="prepend">

<rule filetypes="iso|mpls|bdmv" filename=".*_3D.*" player="3DISO_Player"/>

</rules>
</playercorefactory>



Make sure the path highlighted in red is correct for your system

Next use the following for your PlayISO.bat


"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 %1
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 5\uTotalMediaTheatre5.exe" F:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 /u


Again make sure the paths hightlighted in red match your system and make sure the drive letter highlighted in blue is correct for your Virtual Drive.


X400 - What external player are you using?

Also I renamed two of the 3d iso's as instructed and now xbmc doesnt recognize one of them in my movies folder and the other has lost its fanart. Can you help me.

You seem to be right. I think this is a critical bug for those using external player and audio passthrough to AVR. In my setup (Frodo 12.1, WASAPI, 5.1, HD5450, ATI 13.1, HDMI, Onkyo AVR,) clicking noise totally ruins TMT 5 and it crashes hopelessly if starts at all. I had no other option but downgrade to Frodo 12.0.

Do you have any idea, when and how this could be fixed? I'm asking, because personally I'm not very comfortable with nightlies and I'm totally clueless how to follow up this kind of bug fixing process. What is the ticket number you submitted?

Yes, it works fine on 5 computers (desktops/laptops/all-in-one) I have at home. You can try to download the codes from the first page instead, and it is the same codes as in post #1610. Then do as following-

1. save all files in \AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata folder
2. make sure to replace login user in playercorefactory to login user in your HTPC
3. make sure that the available VCD drive on your HTPC in playiso is correct
4. make sure that the BD-ROM is correct in playdisc
