Sorry, it is my fault. I made change in blue. Here are the correct codes-

<playercorefactory>
</player>
<player name="Disc_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD12\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe</filename>

No need to apologize, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am with this.

I'll change that when I get home from work tonight and will report back, until then, fingers crossed.

Why did the new playercore remove the ability for XBMC to open PowerDVD 12 when I play a bluray disc?

Sorry to be such a pain, I'm kind of a noob at all this and would really like to figure it out.
If you are using Windows 7 32-bit, you have to replace this line with the correct link on your HTPC- C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD12\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe

If your BD-ROM drive is not E: drive, you can replace these two line with the correct BD-ROM drive on your HTPC- <args>"{E:}" /close</args> and <rule name="Blu-Ray" filename="E:\\.*" filetypes="bdmv" player="Disc_Player"/>

Yes, I am using Windows 7 32-bit, and that line is the same link on my system. Also, my Blu-ray drive is E:, so neither of those lines need any changes.
Are you sure you are using W7 32-bit? To make sure, you can right/click on "Computer" and then scroll down to "Properties". You'll see what operating system you have under "System Type". If it is W7 32-bit, PDVD12 exec directory should be "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD12\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe". As you can see there is no x86 in W7 32-bit directory.....the directory have to be correct according to your HTPC for playercorefactory to work right......

Yes, I'm completely 100% positive I'm using Windows 7 32-bit. As I said a few threads back, I removed the (x86) from all the strings in the .xml and .bat files, which is ultimately when we started getting real progress with this. After removing the (x86) is when PowerDVD12 actually popped up, however it would then drop back behind XBMC and still refused to play automatically.

My PowerDVD12 directory is "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD12" and there is an application within that directory called PDVDLaunchPolicy. Is that not structured properly as the directory isn't actually "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD12\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe" as you list above?

If that is the case, your playercorefactory.xml codes should be-

<playercorefactory>
</player>
<player name="Disc_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD12\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe</filename>
<args>"{E:}" /close</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<!-- Bluray Disc -->
<rule name="Blu-Ray" filename="E:\\.*" filetypes="bdmv" player="Disc_Player"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

-Just to confirm that your PDVD12 directory is "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD12\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe", you can go into "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD12" folder and right/click on "PDVDLaunchPolicy" and then Properties, you'll find the exact directory for it.....it should work now!

bluray,

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you regarding this, I haven't tried it yet. The reason I haven't tried it yet is because I have Blu-ray playback within XBMC right now (that includes full use of dts HD Master and Dolby truHD sound). I'm not sure how it's working, or if it even should be working, but I don't need PowerDVD12 to watch Blu-ray's, as I am watching them from right in XBMC.

Did we (and by we I mean mostly you) stumble onto something that was previously thought to be impossible? If you believe so then when I get home from work later tonight why don't I copy/paste my playercorefactory.xml codes and my .bat file codes so we can see exactly what's going on here. If this is something others are doing already then we'll consider my issues/problems getting this to work solved, as I'd much rather use XBMC as my player from all of my video sources instead of XBMC for 1 source and PowerDVD12 as my blu-ray player source.

Let me know what your thoughts on this are (as well as anyone else who wants to jump in and add anything).

Oh, we knew that XBMC can playback blu-ray disc directly on BD-ROM with AnyDVD HD running in the background, and I mentioned it throughout this thread and other threads.

As I and others mentioned it, we are using External Player because we want to enjoy blu-ray disc original menus, chapter, extras, etc. XBMC don't support it.

It's not that I stumbled with the playercorefactory codes. The codes I provided to you have been tested and worked on my HTPC's. As we all know, not all HTPC's work the same way. The codes might work on my HTPC, but it might not work on your HTPC. That is why I provided several new codes to you to try.

Previously, I thought that you want external player codes to playback blu-ray disc and blu-ray files. Since you only need codes to playback blu-ray disc, you don't need .bat file. You only need the playercorefactory.xml codes below-

<playercorefactory>
</player>
<player name="Disc_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD12\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe</filename>
<args>"{E:}" /close</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<!-- Bluray Disc -->
<rule name="Blu-Ray" filename="E:\\.*" filetypes="bdmv" player="Disc_Player"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

bluray,

Oh, no I hope I didn't insinuate that you stumbled with the playercorefactory codes...b/c that just isn't true. I know every HTPC system will be different and they will all handle the codes a bit differently, so if I insinuated that, I'm sorry. Smile

I didn't catch that you could play BD-ROM movies via XBMC in the thread, but admittedly I skimmed it quite quickly.

I don't typically watch extra's or care about the original menu's so I'm quite happy that you've helped me get this up and running within XBMC.

One question regarding the way it's currently working though. Is there a way to bypass the popup that AnyDVD HD gives when you put a disc in the drive? Example: I'm in XBMC, I put a Blu-ray disc in the BD-ROM drive, and XBMC is minimized and AnyDVD HD pops up stating I have so many days left before my trial expires and I have to press the continue button. Is the only way to remove that popup to purchase AnyDVD HD?

You're fine......I just want to make sure that we're on the same page.....

You must have missed post #275, post #279, etc.........we didn't discuss much on it, because most users come in here to find info on external player code...

Sorry, the popup will stop after you pay for it.....this is how most free trial versions work!

I have tried to install the newest C++ Runtime, no help.
I have updated all the drivers.

Now I don`t know what to do next.

hope some one can help.

I really need this because this is the only player I have found that can work with menus for Blu Rays that is just in "folders", no *.ISO file.

Kindly

Petter
