Hi,
seems to be a good tutorial for including an external player. I will try this the next few days and track back here!

well, I will answer my own question and say that it does make a difference. Did a search and found the described folder and got XBMC to fire. The problem now is that PowerDVD fires regardless if the files were corrected for use with the MPC. back to the drawing board. It seems that when the iso mounts that it fires the PowerDVD automatically. Checked the settings on it and PowerDVD and can't figure it out.

Here are my latest test and updates. I removed the third line of the batch file and everything works great. It seems that the movie was being unmounted before it had time to load up properly. Is there a hard delay that could be programmed there so to unmount on completion (watch or full stop)??
problem i am encountering is that I have a mounted movie and trying to mount another, if I switch from one movie to another (or so I think). Using PowerDVD as I am currently unable to make it load with MPC

Since you are using PowerDVD as an external player, here are your codes:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="PowerDVD" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="iso" player="PowerDVD">
</rule>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
"<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD.exe</filename>" You can change this line to the correct directory on your PC.
"<rule filetypes="iso" player="PowerDVD">" If you want PowerDVD to play everything (iso, mkv, m2ts, avi, etc), you can replace iso with *.*

Killus- please use the guide from post #21 and you need to replace the instruction #5 in post #21 with <playercorefactory> codes from post #23. you should be able to playback iso with external player (which is powerdvd 11) and other bd files (m2ts, mkv, avi, etc) with xbmc.

alright guys,
i got mine all working with PowerDVD 10
here is my code
PlayIso.bat (had to delete the last line to keep it from unmounting)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 "%1"
choice /T 5 /D y > nul
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD10\PowerDVD10.exe" "D:\BDMV\index.object"
playercorefactory.xml
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="PowerDVD" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="true">
<filename>C:\FOR_XBMC\BATCH_FILES\PlayIso.bat </filename>
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD10\PowerDVD10.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="iso" player="PowerDVD">
</rule>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
Keep in mind that it will play all iso. Make sure all iso name does not have a space. example movie_name.iso and not movie name.iso this include the root folder or any subfolders the iso's are in
you dont have to unmount the iso everytime. it eill automatically mount a new one overwriting the last mount.
It will not interfere with other file extention. MKV, MP4, AVI... willall use the internal player.
hope this helps
