bluray Wrote:@Tomera,
When I said your playercorefactory codes for TMT5 looked okay last night, it's exactly what I meant. I tried your playercorefactory codes on my HTPC last night before I made the comment. It worked fine on my HTPC with full paid TMT5 version. When I clicked BD index.bdmv, TMT5 kicked on and stayed on for the duration of playback. The only time it went back to XBMC screen was when I stopped the movie and clicked backspace on my keyboard.

As I mentioned, it must have something to do with your free trial version!


no success there either.

maybe.. wait, i m on to something. 2 minites. let me try.
Ok. some clarification:
when u said " i clicked BD index.bdmv....". that made me try something. it seems to me u r not working in library mode, but in files mode ( xbmc ), so i tried that, and voila, it worked perfectly, so now i understand why u say its ok. sorry, and forgive me. this is just a missunderstanding.
saying that, i would preffer to keep working in Library mode, hence , is there something u could do with the codes?

Yors Truly,
Tomer

Tomer- I'm glad that you got it to work. I have to check into library option. Well, you can enjoy the movie till then! Smile


Looking Forward to hearing from u - tomera69 - 2012-01-31 20:33

I will stay up all night, waiting for your solution...Smile

by the way, Do you preffer working in "Files" Mode?
why?
it is much less comfortable, isn't it?

I saved all my BD files in USB 3.0. It's very compact external drive (a single USB cable to power it and it fit in my pocket). I got used to move USB drive around to different HTPC's, and I got used to "File" mode. I'm not into fancy skin or anything like that. As long as it playback my BD file in full 1080P video with DTS-HD/TrueHD, I'm happy with it! Smile


I see. - tomera69 - 2012-01-31 22:21

all i have to say is thank u, and still waiting. no pressure.Smile

Downloading the file from this link doesn't seem to be working at all for me: http://www.2shared.com/document/ovrWPOek/FFDshow_and_MPC-HC.html

EDIT: Don't actually need it I think, sorry! I am struggling though. This is what I have in playerfactory:


Code:

As you can see, I'm trying to use PDVD11. When I play an mkv file in XBMC, PDVD opens but nothing plays, it just sits on a blank screen for a few seconds before going to the movies tab Confused

As I mentioned in post #196, I used another site to upload all the files in post #1. If you want to download MPC-HC, you can download it from post #1.

For PDVD11&12, you need to change (<args>"{1}" /fullscreen</args>) in playercorefactory to (<args>"{1}"</args>). For some reason, it doesn't work with playercorefactory fullscreen option. TMT5, PDVD10, MPC-HC, etc works fine with fullscreen option. If you want PDVD11 to launch in full screen, you can simply configure it to playback in fullscreen within PDVD11 setting/player. Smile

Assign PDVD11 to mkv files
Make a batch file (mkv.bat) and put in:
powershell -command Invoke-Item %1

Invoke-Item will play the %1 with PDVD

Removing "fullscreen" option from playercorefactory code, PDVD11 should work fine with his playercorefactory file!

Sorry to ask again but I still am not able to figure this out. I was wondering if you remembered what you did to fix the Playercorefactory.xml and PlayHDaudio.bat setup.
