@paolo-
Here is what you need to do-

1. Download these files:
a. Playcorefactory
b. PlayBDMV
c. PlayDisc
d. PlayISO

2. Save downloaded files in "\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata" folder

3. Replace all "Dell" in Playercorefactory codes with the correct user name in your HTPC

You should be able to playback blu-ray files using TMT5 as external player afterward......

Hi bluray
I changed it this way hoping that it works, I followed the pattern that you've posted to a user like me does not want to start visuallizzare the desktop you can check if everything is ok please.
I have another doubt, but the 4 files are copied only in userdata in xbmc right?

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="ISO_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Utenti\Pablo Media Player\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\PlayISO.bat</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
<player name="BDMV_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Utenti\Pablo Media Player\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\PlayBDMV.bat</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
<player name="Disc_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Utenti\Pablo Media Player\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\PlayDisc.bat</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

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

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

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

<rule protocols="bd" player="Disc_Player"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Check out the userdata folder carefully, and you can find my screen shot here- post #609.....it is not wordpad, and it should be notepad.....it should be saved as PlayDisc.bat, PlayISO.bat and PlayBDMV.bat and Playercorefactory.xml (Save as type: All Files)......

the black screen is gone,
but blu-ray movies on disk does not start up.
I get a pop-up screen where it stand that "External Player" is running, press ok and noting!
Is your roaming folder look identical as shown below, especially under "Type" column.....

Make sure that TMT5 is configured as shown below......

Do you have this "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)" in your HTPC?

You can verify the code by double click on Playercorefactory, PlayDisc, PlayISO and PlayBDMV. When double click on Playercorefactory, it will display the codes via IE without any error. When double click on PlayDisc, PlayISO and PlayBDMV, it will launch TMT5.......

thank you so much for your help, appreciate the time you spend to help us all. Rofl

Now it works (almost), I used notepad and changed the "I: \ Program Files (68) \ ArcSoft \ TotalMedia Theatre 5 \ uMCEPlayer5.exe"%% PTH exit "
to
" I: \ Program Files \ ArcSoft \ TotalMedia Theatre 5 \ uMCEPlayer5.exe "%% PTH exit" + has put all. xml and. bat in the "UserData" folder = TMT5 started up like it should.

But, the framerate is not good,movie plays slowly and the sound + TV pictures are not in sync. Is there something I have overlooked.

Have a Nvidia Geforce 220 and my Blu-Ray drive is a LG
BH10LS38 Blu-ray and has a ordinary LCD 1080p TV

It's good to read that you got the external files working. As far as stuttering issues, you might have to do as following-
1. Make sure that your 220 driver is up to date- Option 2: Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products
2. Enable DXVA2 with DXVA as Render Method, and disable everything else in XBMC settings/video/playback
3. Disable "Use fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" and everything else in XBMC settings/system/video output

If you are still having stuttering issue after you tried the above configurations, you can try as following-
1. Select "High Performance" in Windows 7 control panel power option
2. If your HTPC is not powerful, you might have to hide XBMC with this codes "<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>"........

I'm glad that you got external player codes to work now. For ISO file, it will not work by itself. It need help from VCD, and you can download it from here- Virtual CloneDrive. You need to enter the correct available VCD drive in ISO code below. I use VCD "J" drive in my HTPC.......
