When I put a BlueRay disc in my drive it will not play within Eden. I downloaded MPC-HD and passkey lite and still cannot play the disc either. Am I missing something here? This is on Win 7 Home Premium.

I tried this with both Saving Private Ryan and Terminator 3.
As I mentioned, XBMC don't suport native blu-ray disc playback (it natively support DVD playback though). You'll need external player "Playercorefactory" to playback blur-ray disc on BD-ROM. You'll need PlayDisc.bat for MPC-HC and Playercorefactory with this rule (<rule protocols="bd" player="Disc_Player"/>).

Well after I rebooted the computer (after installing MPC and passkey lite) and now I can play bluerays natively in XBMC (obviously without HD audio) and also play from MPC. So dumb me for not assuming a reboot was not needed.

i'm thinking of trying this at least for my 1080p SBS films that won't play the way i want them in xbmc. does xbmc still do the auto rate switching or would I need autofrequency for that so that it switches the correct rate for reclock?

and does this have dvd's playback through mpc-hc or through xbmc? they don't want to playback in xbmc for me, menu never comes up.

You can give it a try. If you want to use MPC-HC with XBMC PlayDisc option, you can use this rule in Playercorefactory- (<rule protocols="[COLOR="blue"]bd|dvd" player="Disc_Player"/>[/COLOR])

It should. But somehow I can't find the setting I've seen once in the System settings. Maybe I saw it on a pre Eden build ND ATM. I try a Dharma build.?


external player restarting - Watcher - 2012-01-08 14:01

Hi
I've got TMT3 working as an external player perfectly, at last. Problem is when I exit the TMT3, XBMC immediately restarts TMT3. I have to close it again and try and hit the X key, in XBMC about 7 or 10 times before it stops trying to start TMT3. I've tried PowerDVD11 also and the same thing happens. I can't find a solution in the forums or google (let alone someone else with this problem). I was wondering if you or anyone here has come across this and knows of a solution.

TIA

if you use mpc-hc with the playdisc option to play dvds, is there any extra argument needed? I see it the playdisc.bat it seems to reference E: when used with TMT

"E:" is BD-ROM drive. If your BD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive in your HTPC is different, you can replace "E:" with the correct drive. You have to replace TMT5 directory with MPC-HC in PlayDisc.bat and use this rule in Playercorefactory.xbml- (<rule protocols="[COLOR="blue"]bd|dvd" player="Disc_Player"/>[/COLOR]).

Did you you used these codes?

1. Playcorefactory
2. PlayBDMV
3. PlayDisc
4. PlayISO

Did you replace the TMT5 directory in .bat and .xml files with TMT3 directory? Did you use uMCEPlayer3.exe instead of uTotalMediaTheatre3.exe? The MCE version will allow you to properly manage MCE remote and keyboard.
