I have been trying to setup XBMC 13.1 to play blu-rays using PowerDVD 13 as an external player, but I have been unable to get it to work. When I put the blu-ray it and hit play disc in XBMC it doesn't do anything, it doesn't even freeze.
This is the playercorefactory.xml that I am using. I copied it from a blog that was setting up XBMC to play blu-rays using PowerDVD, I had to make a couple of changes like where my PowerDVD application was stored.
Do I need to make changes to my advancedsettings.xml? I found one post where there was advancedsettings.xml code but the post was from 2009 and I have not seen any other reference to it yet.

Code:

<player name="PowerDVD" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">

<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<!-- Bluray Disc -->
<rule protocols="bd" player="PowerDVD"/>
