The codes are fine then. There must be conflict within your userdata then. You can try these steps:

1. rename XBMC folder in roaming to XBMC_orig
2. launch XBMC to generate a new XBMC folder in roaming
3. shutdown XBMC
4. copy .bat and .xml files from XBMC_orig and paste it in the newly generated XBMC>userdata folder
5. launch XBMC and try your movie again

and the Playercore:


@echo off
rem you can place your PlayBDMV file anywhere
rem set pth=%1
rem set pth=%pth:=%
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD11\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe" %1 exit

Note that the /Fullscreen / Close commands behind the {1} are missing!
That was actually the clue!
Nevertheless PDVD is starting in fullscreen...
I'm glad that it work out for you. When you get the paths correct, everything else should be fairly simple.

Regarding the full screen option, you can force it to launch full screen through XBMC or PDVD11.

Oh, what you listed under playercorefactory is not codes for playercorefactory. You might want to update it so it don't confuse others.

i just checked, it was already on high performance.

What are your CPU and GPU?

XBMC still didn't see the Playercorefactory.xml then. If you preferred the original userdata, you can delete the latest XBMC folder in roaming and replace it XBMC_orig.

Can you do these for me?

1. got to AppData>Roaming>XBMC>userdata folder
2. right click on Playercorefactory and scroll down to Properties
3. What is listed in front of "Type of file:........"?

amd athlon x64 2200+ and gpu is gt430

EDIT: I think I see the problem, xbmc is using 35-50% of the cpu when mpc-hc is playing, shouldn't it be sitting idle?

Unfortunately, that is how it work. I don't know how to set XBMC to idle while external player (MPC-HC) is playback the movie.

Can you set these two to "True":

<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>

Good job, and that is the type of information I need for troubleshooting. I can see the problem now.

Can you remove ".xml" from the end of Playercorefactory? It shouldn't be part of Playercorefactory. XBMC should see it now!
