Hi,
First of all I would like say thank to bluray for all the help in this great thread. As an almost complete newbie, I was able to follow his tutorial...unfortunately not without complete success.
Here's my setup:
- WIN7 Ultimate SP1 32bit
- XBMC v11.0 Eden
- TMT 5
My collection contains both BluRay ISO's, BluRay's in folder structure format (BDMV), and some MKV as well. I would like to use TMT5 to play all the mentioned file types, including BluRay discs in physical format.
I followed this thread since post no1 till the 26th page for better understanding and to learn from the other users comments.
Here's my playercorefactory file:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="ISO_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="false">
<filename>C:\Users\octogon\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\PlayISO.bat</filename>

Here's my PlayBDMV.bat file:
@
echo off
rem you can place your PlayBDMV file in \Roaming\XBMC\userdata\
set pth=%1
set pth=%pth:BDMV\index.bdmv=%
"C:\Program Files\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 5\uMCEPlayer5.exe" %pth% exit
Here's my PlayDisc.bat file
@
echo off
rem you can place your PlayDisc file in \Roaming\XBMC\userdata\
"C:\Program Files\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 5\uMCEPlayer5.exe" D:
And finally, my PlayISO.bat file:
@
echo off
rem you can place your PlayISO file in \Roaming\XBMC\userdata\
rem you need to put the correct VCDMount drive letter in the command below
"C:\Program Files\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 %1
"C:\Program Files\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 5\uMCEPlayer5.exe" F:
"C:\Program Files\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 /u
When I hit play on a BluRay ISO, this is what happens:
- TMT5 opens (but not in fullscreen) showing the following message: "The application requires an update to allow continued playback of some discs, Click the "OK" button below and follow the on-screen instructions.
- I hit the "OK" button then the movie starts playing (still not in full screen)
- few seconds later another message shows up: "You are already using the latest version available. Please check for updates later.
- I hit the OK button, and the movie continues to play just fine.
When I hit play on a BluRay BDMV, this is what happens:
- TMT5 opens (but not in full screen), but nothing else. Note, if I right click over the movie and choose to play with the internal player, then it plays fine, so no prob with the file. Also, TMT5 works great outside XBMC.
When I try to play an actual BR disc with "Play Disc" option, this what happens:
- TMT5 opens (again, not in fullscreen), but it did not start playing the disc without hitting "enter" on the highlighted drive ("F" in my case). If I hit "enter", it gives me the same message "The application requires....", I hit the "OK" then it starts playing, but strangely this time in full screen....
So, here I am right now...and the input from you guys.
Any help would be much appreciated!
