Windows HOW-TO play Blu-ray Disc with External Player and auto adjust refresh rate

catdroid · 2010-01-14 03:58

The only thing I changed in the xml file was from D: to E:

Everything else should be correct on my system. (I verified the path to TMT3)

When I put in The Hangover Blu-Ray disc, XBMC sees it, then if I "play disc", the counter in the bottom left starts and the disc starts reading.

TMT3 does not open and XBMC does not close.

I installed XBMC in portable mode and placed the xml file in the c:\program files\XBMC\userdata folder.

Any clues? Anything jump out that says I'm doing this wrong?

Good tip. I switched to the latest build (26787) and it worked.

But I noticed the movie didn't automatically play in TMT3. Anybody know the argument for this?

I have also noticed that it does not play automaticly when launched from XBMC. if you launch it stand alone it auto plays. I have tried to search for it but can't find anything.

I can live with pressing play on the remote, but please tell us if you find a solution.

Just one question. I dont understand the reason for using reclock with tmt 3. As most of us use tmt3 only to play blurays, there is no reason to reclock. The problem occurs only with Pal dvds or ?

If your TV/projector supports 24hz, you would want to use reclock to change the output from the 60/30hz you are using normally to 24 when watching film content.

Hi to all, I'm a bit lost in creating a correct VBS script for running TMT,
all I need is a change of resolution from 1280x720 50, to 1920x1080 50i, and then switch back to 1280x720.
I have AnyDVD HD

Could someone please help me ?

cheers, Nik
