I tried PDVD11 with PlayBDMV.bat, but it didn't start the movie automatically. It started the movie and it worked great with PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe directly. It's sligthly different from TMT5. TMT5 work great with PlayBDMV.bat....

Regarding the remote controller, I never get a chance to try PDVD11 on my HTPC's with MCE remote controller......

One little annoying thing I am noticing is when powerdvd 11 is launched, it is in full screen, but it wont hide the controls, i have to kind of click on the screen with my mouse then the controls will disappear, just curious if anyone knows how to get rid of those controls without clicking?

Edit nevermind button on the bottom right hand corner needed to be clicked.

Well after trying out power dvd 11, im finding it buggier then 12, and some blurays wont play that are newer that play with 12.

So either powerdvd 12 addresses my support ticket to add index.bdmv support to 12, or I will stick with tmt.

bluray,
I used the code you gave me, but it still doesn't work...It keeps launching powerdvd12 ...when i manually right click the song and choose play using, papplayer then it works...otherwise it just defaults to the external player powerdvd12.....do you have anything else i can try.

Is it possible that you have too many things installed? I tried it with "Current Stable Release: 11.0 “Eden”". It worked fine. What is the song format?

I used the codes below.....the only option that didn't work with PDVD12 is PlayBDMV.......

With the codes above, it should be using PDVD12 when playback m2ts, mkv, avi, ts, iso and bdmv files only. All other files should be using XBMC for playback.....

Try to un-install XBMC completely, and re-intall 11.0.....

I had this working pretty well and then silly me decided to install Frodo after the announcement of the improvements in Audio

Now these scripts are not working well at all. I'm thinking XBMC now has it's own built in way of handling this? When launching a folder rip, I now get 3 options which includes watching the main movie in XBMC and an option to view menus that opens up TMT.

Have you tried running Frodo?

Also, for some reason mp4s are now launching TMT but nothing is played back. This only started happening with Frodo as well.

I shouldn't have moved to a development build but hoping you might have some experience with this already. If not, I'll go through the pains of reinstalling

@AndyD- if you are using external player, it is better to stick with the stable 11.0......TMT5 or PDVD11 should be able to handle all video and audio without XBMC.......if you want to bitstream using XBMC, you can check out this thread- Windows How to Bitstreaming using XBMC,,,,,,

I think ill end up buying powerdvd as well. I notice most blurays play on tmt, but some dont, meanwhile most play on powerdvd but some wont. Apocalypse now wont play on tmt for example which is kind of absurd, but tmt support claims there just addressing it now. But will work for powerdvd. Meanwhile a few blurays wont display a picture in powerdvd for some reason.

So as a back up even though i mainly use bdmv folders and tmt, i will use powerdvd for iso, i dont think it should be an issue. THen if tmt cant play something as bdmv folder, i just convert it to iso and powerdvd will play it.

Thats the best i could come up with to make sure everything plays.

Its weird on my dune meadia streamer i never had a disc not play.
