Since Cyberlink decided to change index.bdmv launch routine, there is no way to make it launch automatically with the code. I stated it in post #668......

@shaktoo-

I don't know the answer to all your questions. As for the subtitle question, you might want to relay your question to Cyberlink instead. For 3d SBS, you can read this thread "3D Full SBS (3840x1080)... Success!" for more info........

Thanks for your work on this. Things are oh so nearly working, but TMT5 is not focused after it is launched. The player is full screen and the iso is loaded, but the keyboard/remote does not work until I alt-tab until TMT is focused! Any thoughts/ideas/workarounds?

Hey Blu, just when you thought you'd heard the last of me Smile

I'm having problems using powerdvd12 as my external player for bluray isos. Using the codes in these posts i can get powerdvd to launch, but when i press play it tells me there is no disc in drive k:
I have a feeling its something to do with the image mounting.

Ideally i want xbmc to play everthing apart from bluray discs, dvds and blu ray .iso
here is my

It's XBMC that remains focused. Even though TMT is full screen and in the foreground if I press alt-F4 XBMC closes! Confused

bluray ....Hi

You helped me out before with the playcorefactory files. I using the latest TMT5 , but when i started to use nighly build of xbmc it stopped working. Everytime when i start a file i get a menu in xbmc to choose what track i want to start. Guess they change something?

Is this something that you can fix so i get the external player working again?

Thankful for some help.

Have it great

Have you try <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>?

I'm not sure what have been changed/added in nightly build. I'm suggesting to stick with stable 11.0 for now.....

@wilson-
Give these codes a try (replace K in the red lines with the correct BD-ROM drive and replace K in the blue line with the correct available VCD drive)....

If you wouldn't mind, out of the three suggested players, which would give the best/most seamless experience?
Thank you

Hey dude (bluray) Smile

Awesome work, much appreciated!

Just a couple of questions... are the files updated for the latest official XBMC release and PowerDVD (12)? And is it possible to bitstream stereo music from FLAC and WMA lossless files?

Once again, big thanks for the awesome work! Smile
