Thanks Bluray for your help and support.

I am using your main files that plays everything through TMT5 as the XBMC for some reason is a little jumpy for me if I don't exit out and restart it before I play.
David Bott
I'm glad that you got it to work......

If you still having problem with stuttering, you can try these-

<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

The Stuttering issue is with XBMC, not TMT5. It is weird, for if I come into XBMC from the desktop I can play just fine. If I leave it in XBMC for some time and then go to play something, it can stutter. It drops frames now and again. Thus TMT5 use.

One new thing...With everything going thought your all in one solution...I can no longer play trailers.

Are the above commands for XMBC player? Are you suggesting just trying these settings in the file vs the settings that run TMT5? Just checking.

Thanks

David

The above codes are for XBMC external player, and it can be changed in "playercorefactory". If you right click "playercorefactory" and then select edit, you'll see the codes in it.

You can specify the type of files for playback using TMT5 in "playercorefactory" rule, and the un-specified files still can playback using XBMC......

Yes, with the playercorefactory codes below:

Playercorefactory.xml

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="BDMV_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Users\log in name go here\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\PlayBDMV.bat</filename>
<args>"{1}"</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>

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


<rule filename=".*bdmv.*" player="BDMV_Player"/>

</rules>
</playercorefactory>

PlayBDMV.bat

@echo off
rem you can place your PlayBDMV file in \Roaming\XBMC\userdata\
set pth=%1
set pth=%pth:BDMV\index.bdmv=%
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 5\uMCEPlayer5.exe" %pth% exit

Thanks for this guide Bluray, i'm having a bit of trouble that i'm hoping you or someone else could help me with though.

I've copied your .bat and .xml files from the first post and i'm using PowerDVD12. I've edited the .xml and .bat files to point to my "username" folder and to the location of the PowerDVD12 executable.

I only have MKV files so that is all i've tested with, but when I go to play an MKV through XBMC then PowerDVD12 opens, but no file is played. Its like the file is not being passed to PowerDVD12.

I've been trying for the last couple of days to get this to work but no luck, really hoping someone here can help me out! Smile

@greenja-

Can you post your playercorefactory codes in here? Maybe, somebody or I can take a look at it for you....

with powerdvd12 it has to be running from xbmc when you play a movie it will play. i let pdvd12 to run on startup i delayed xbmc by 10 sec. the problem is when you play a movie you have to stop it and then minimize pdvd12 with ctrl n which i mapped to the remote otherwise when you play another movie it doesnt work. then i had the problem where xbmc would lose focus and my remote would not respond but i got it sorted with hide taskbar. it works very well im happy.
here is link for hidetaskbar if you need it

@Greenja-
Try these codes for Universal_Player:

<player name="Universal_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD12\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe</filename>
<args>"{0}"</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

and these rules:

<rules action="prepend">

<rule filename=".*iso.*" player="ISO_Player"/>

<rule filename=".*bdmv.*" player="BDMV_Player"/>

<rule filename=".*mkv.*" player="Universal_Player"/>

<rule filename=".*m2ts.*" player="Universal_Player"/>


<rule name="Blu-Ray" filename="E:\\.*" filetypes="bdmv" player="Disc_Player"/>
</rules>
