What do I use to play an AVCHD DVD? Is there a list of protocols somewhere? my forum searches were not successful for such a list.

Sorry I should have mentioned that I'm on Dharma 10.1. I'm just trying to figure out what are the possible rules that we can use in playercorefactory.xml to play either blu-ray disc or avchd dvd! ATM I'm not ready to upgrade yet to beyond 10.1. Thanks for your suggestion, though. - bluray - 2011-09-21 bodhi Wrote:Sorry I should have mentioned that I'm on Dharma 10.1.

ATM I'm not ready to upgrade yet to beyond 10.1.that pre-eden in my guide is easier than any playercorefactory that i made in the past. i have the most expensive tmt5 as an external player, but i prefer the seamless pre-eden over it. since you already have dharma 10.1 installed, you can simply launch pre-eden from pre-eden folder. you might be pleasantly surprised how easy it is to natively playback most files. Power-DVD plays bd several times after each other - makromorphago - 2011-10-17 Hey. My playercorefactory seems to be working. When I tell XBMC (Pre-Eden) to play the BD (from the Disc/ROM, so not an iso) PowerDVD starts up. When I close PowerDVD it returns back to XBMC but it will start PowerDVD10 playing the BD several more times. First file it plays is sound.bdmv, after that it starts playing 00000.mpls till 00006.mpls. I only got one bd so far, that is Inglourious Bastards. Any clue, how to solve this prob and just make xbmc play one disc. This is my playercorefactory.xml, I tried out many different things so far: <playercorefactory> <players> <player name="Power-DVD" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="true"> <filename>C:\Users\Der Smo\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\mountit.bat</filename> <args>"{1}"</args> <forceontop>true</forceontop> <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc> <hideconsole>true</hideconsole> <playonestackitem>true</playonestackitem> </player> </players> <rules action="prepend"> <rule name="Blu-Ray" protocol="bd" player="Power-DVD"/> <rule filetypes="bdmv" filename="index.bdmv" player="Power-DVD"/> </rules> </playercorefactory> The mountit.bat just has this command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD10\PowerDVD Cinema\PowerDVDCinema10.exe" I:, with I: my BD-ROM. Is this something specific for this bd I use or did I do something wrong? Thx in advance - clubwerks - 2011-11-19 spleeker Wrote:hey guys- Just wanted to note that this setup works perfectly. Another thing to note, if XBMC is not picking up your BD-ROM drive and putting the Play Disc dialog on the main menu when you insert a disc, the BD-ROM needs to be lettered first among multiple drives. If you have a BD-ROM and a CD-ROM, for example, the BD would need to be D: if the CD-ROM were E:. Weird I know. Guess how long it took me to figure that out? - Roman_V_M - 2011-11-23 I personally use the following setup for BluRay folders and ISOs with TMT 5: First, I use 2 cmd scripts to open folders and ISOs respectively. bd.cmd: Code: @echo off bd-iso.cmd: Code: @echo off And playercorefactory.xml is the following: Code: <playercorefactory> - bluray - 2011-11-23 Roman_V_M Wrote:I personally use the following setup for BluRay folders and ISOs with TMT 5:+1, i used these codes with my tmt5 before i converted myself to pre-eden in july. it worked great! - Nameless_87 - 2011-12-03 Hi, My Hardware (for reference): i3 2100 Asus Gene-Z mATX 4GB XMS3 RAM 1GB EVGA GTX 460 SC Seasonic M12 II 520W PSU Lian Li PC-C50B case I am using XBMC with TMT5 as external player for dvds and blu-ray. I used the settings you suggested in the OP, however I have a problem. The normal resolution is 1080p @60Hz. I am using ReClock with Display Changer so that when TMT5 starts it reads the input and changes the resolution and refresh rate according to what the input source is. For example for a blu-ray it sets the NVIDIA GTX460 to 1080p @23HZ (23.976p). The refresh rate is changed fine, however the video in TMT5 stutters heavily. It is like it is in slow motion, but audio seems fine. The playback is fixed if I Alt+Tab to Task Manager or Nvidia Settings window and Alt+Tab back to TMT5. Any idea what is causing this? PS: I do not have an AVR and speakers yet, so sound is coming from the TV speakers. Also, in ReClock I left everything as default except for the things in the OP.

I've got xbmc to open PowerDVD when I click Play; but, the movie doesn't start within PowerDVD. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
