Hello XBMC Community,
I've been using XBMC for a while now. I think it's be best thing ever!
I've recently upgraded to a new computer with a blu-ray player and Optical-out. Since XBMC doesn't play blu-ray discs natively at the moment, I have resorted to use PowerDVD 12. I followed this guide to setup XBMC with PowerDVD12: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...nal+player
Everytime I try playing a blu-ray disc, there is no audio and the video is usually sped up. There is no audio from any other applications either(games, vlc...). I notice that this only happens when I try playing audio from other applications WHILE XBMC is open. After closing XBMC and restarting the other applications, the audio works and the video is not sped up. It seems like XBMC is somehow taking exclusive control over the audio device and not letting other applications use it.
I have resorted to modifying the .bat(PlayBDMV.bat) files from the link above to first close XBMC and then opening PowerDVD. My solution partially works, but I would rather not having to do this at all. Does anyone know what is going on and/or how to resolve this issue?
Thanks for reading and helping me out!
