Okay, in MediaBrowser, to set up mounting a Blu-Ray ISO and mounting it from WITHIN MediaBrowser is stupidly simple -- MediaPortal, while quite different, is also very straight forward, with all the options you need easily found WITHIN the main configuration menus.
But why is all this playercorefactory.xml nonsense needed with XBMC? Why not just simple ISO setup options within XBMC main configuration? I know XBMC can play a movie-only Blu-ray ISO but the Blu-rays I have, more often than not, have extras that I'd like to access occasionally, therefore I need full menu support. So ALL I WANT is to click on an ISO WITHIN XBMC, then have XBMC automatically mount, then launch my Blu-ray program (PowerDVD11) and then have it play. I have been at this for hours, using all different types of playercorefactory.xml settings that I have found from searching--and the most I've been able to achieve is to have PowerDVD11 launch. Nothing plays back.
I already have VirtualClone Drive installed and have been successfully mounting and watching BD ISOs for ages using WMC and then MediaPortal. But I love the responsiveness and speed of XBMC so I really would like to switch over but this is getting ridiculous!
Could someone PLEASE, in painfully simple terms, tell me how to achieve this?
