What is wrong? I am using the last release of XBMC.
In your private message, you said you only want it to playback blu-ray disc. You can use these codes:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="BDPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 5\uMCEPlayer5.exe</filename>
<args>"{E:}" /fullscreen</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">


<!-- Bluray-->
<rule name="Blu-Ray" protocols="bd" player="BDPlayer"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Thanks bluray.

But I did it and I still have the same problem. Is so weird...

I already did a lot of tutorials, step by step, tried 3 versions of xbmc, tmt3 and tmt5 and allways the same problem.

EDIT - I have Samsung B083 without firmware update. Can be that problem?
DVD and CD audio it plays well in XBMC.

Try rename guisettings in roaming folder to guisettings_orig and relaunch xbmc to generate a new guisettings. You can try to playback the same movie again.

Is your GPU driver up to date?

I don't have dedicated GPU. I think it is updated.
I am using:
gigabyte z68ma-d2h-b3
i3 2105
crucial m4 ssd

How is the playback of blu-ray disc on the standalone PDVD11 or TMT5 or MPC-HC?
