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.

Code:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
    <!-- Locate PowerDVD -->
    <player name="PowerDVD" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
        <filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD13\PowerDVD13.exe</filename>
        <args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
        <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
        <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
        <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
    </player>
</players>

<rules action="prepend">
    <!-- Bluray Disc -->
    <rule protocols="bd" player="PowerDVD"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

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.
