I am unable to use this:
@echo off
rem you can place your PlayISO file anywhere
rem you need to put the correct VCDMount drive letter in the command below
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 %1
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD12\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe" u:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 /u
if I remove the last unmounting line it works. However then I will have to manually unmount it later.
If I do keep all 3 lines then it unmounts before Powerdvd 12 plays the disc.
The Disc ain't autoplayed like TMT 5 used to do for me.

And as SoWErA said, the bat without "C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 /u won't unmount the image thus leaving the "PLAY DISC" option on in XBMC. That's why i modified my PlayISO.bat... but it does increase the CPU-usage.

Isn't it possible to make a playercorefactory.xml that only starts PowerDVD when playing blu-ray discs and if possible, BDMV file structures? :\
Oh and, by the way, I know what regular expressions are, but thanks for the explanation.

Since you have PDVD12 in your HTPC, please try to play around with it and let us know what you find out........I installed the trial version of PDVD12 but I don't have it anymore.....

It should work with "<rule filename="F:\\.*" filetypes="bdmv" player="Bluray_Player"/>", because it use index.bdmv.........I agree, in fact you can actually go one step further and nest the BDMV_Player and Bluray_Player rules, like so:
Code:
<rules name="Custom rules" action="prepend">
<rule name="Bluray BDMV" filetypes="bdmv" player="BDMV_Player">
<rule name="Bluray Disc" filename="F:\\.*" player=Bluray_Player"/>
</rule>
<rule name="Bluray m2ts" filetypes="m2ts" player="Universal_Player"/>
</rules>...Doesn't really save a whole lot of code, but it looks neat.
(I recommend adding the name attribute to the rules, as it makes it easier to debug.)
RE: Another External Player Code, but Very Simple to Setup - Hessi - 2012-07-03 21:31
bluray - Thanks for your help. Of course you're right... no need for the m2ts filetype in the attribute.
Since PowerDVD12 doesn't support BDMV file structure playback with initation through the index file, and since I only wanted blu-ray discs and the mentioned BDMV file structure to playback with PowerDVD12 I've shortened my playercorefactory.xml to the following.
Code:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="External_Player" type="ExternalPlayer">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD12\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe</filename>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
</player>
</players>
<rules>
<rule filename="F:\\.*" filetypes="bdmv" player="Bluray_Player"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>But as you mentioned in your earlier post if you navigate to the BDMV folder in PowerDVD12 it will play the movie fine with all features. Do you know in what way the code for this would have to be made? Is it xml markup, batch file or something else?
PowerDVD12 supports playback of m2ts files but then it would be without any other form of information or feature. F.x. no subtitles.
And of course there's no need for batch files. On the other hand, if I can figure out how to create batch file that starts PowerDVD12 and presses space or enter after a short delay, that would be preferable.
For now i'll stick to the xml (playercorefactory) with this build, and try with the Frodo PVR margro build as standalone.

You need to tight up the rules a little bit........here are your rules:
<!-- Bluray ISO -->
<rule filename=".*iso.*" filetype="iso" player="ISO_Player"/>
<!-- Bluray BDMV -->
<rule filename=".*bdmv.*" filetype="bdmv" player="BDMV_Player"/>
<!-- Bluray M2TS -->
<rule filename=".*m2ts.*" filetype="m2ts" player="Universal_Player"/>
Hmm. I added the filetype parameter but it still doesn't seem to do it. Could it be an issue with the mp4s? I don't have a lot of mp4s but the it seems like it works ok when I launch a trailer from the movie page if it's in mp4 format. But the other videos for whatever reason trigger the launch
I finally figured it out. Not sure why but I had to change the filenames. I originally had "Episode 1" etc as part of the file names. That would for some reason trigger the TMT launch. After changing Episode 1 to just 1 now the files play properly. Pretty weird

Not really, filename=".*iso.*" will match all files with "iso" anywhere in their name... Episode...
That's why you should just use filetypes="iso". That will only match against the file extension.
(filetype="iso", without the s on filetypes, is incorrect and is ignored by XBMC)

Oh ok. I'll switch it
