bluray Wrote:"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]).

robl45 Wrote:thanks for the rule, it wasn't going to work without that. but the question is, do I need the drive after mpc-hc? or is there a different switch that needs to be used to get it to load up the dvd in the drive? looking at the commands line switches for mpc-hc, it looks like there is a /dvd command line?

EDIT: I see it looks like this was discussed on page 2. it seems there is no way to specify the drive for mpc-hc so no seemless way to have it just launch the dvd, is this still correct?

EDIT again: if it doesn't let mpc-hc specify the drive, can the drive be specified with powerdvd 11?

bluray Wrote:Regardless of the media player you use to playback BD directly on BD-ROM, you still need to specify the BD-ROM drive for XBMC PlayDisc option to work with external player.

I just tried it with MPC-HC codes in PlayDisc.bat earlier, and it worked fine with XBMC PlayDisc option. Below is the codes, and it'll work with the existing Playercorefactory.

rem you can place your PlayDisc file in \Roaming\XBMC\userdata\

"C:\Program Files\Media Player Classic - Home Cinema\mpc-hc64.exe" E:

If your blu-ray disc is encrypted, you'll need to install AnyDVD HD to decrypt it in the background!

robl45 Wrote:thats what I was asking, so you just put the drive letter after the path just like with TMT. is there a reason to use the playdisc.bat? is there a reason I can't just put the path in the playercore.xml file?

bluray Wrote:Yes, you can. But if you already have PlayDisc.bat, it is simpler by adding ("C:\Program Files\Media Player Classic - Home Cinema\mpc-hc64.exe" E:
) to PlayDisc.bat and you can leave Playcorefactory.xml un-touch.

If you want to insert "E:" in Playercorefactory, you can not place it after the path. You have to insert it as shown here- (<args>"{E:}" /fullscreen</args>).

tomera69 Wrote:Dear Bluray,
as i wrote to you on private, i have a very strange problem:
mb: gigabyte 880gma-ud2h, cpu amd xII 250, 4gig of 1600mhz ram, saphire 6570 gpu, and a BD drive.
the problem: i have written the playercorefactory (described below), and most of the files on my hdd are mkv. i have 1tb of 3D mkv files on top of 3TB of normal mkv files.
playing the normal mkv's work like a charm in xbmc, but when i try " Play using pdvd.." for the 3D mkv, the follows happans: xbmc gone, pdvd10 comes up and after 1-2 seconds, it says " there is no disc in drive F ", drive f: being my bd drive offcourse.
playing the files straight through pdvd 10, works with no problems, what so ever.
the starnge thing is, that i have set up the same machine for a friend of mine 2 monthes ago, and there it works fluently.
now, i understand the the default drivr pdvd is going for is the optical drive, without being able to change that, but why does it work at my friend's?!

playercorefactory:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="PDVDCinemaPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD10\PowerDVD10.exe</filename>
