Hello Everyone,
I am fairly new to the MediaPortal scene and have mostly been doing research on it and some light implementation with some of the plugins. I have a couple problems and have been unable to find the answers.
The main problem is as follows: I would like ONE media player that plays Blu-Ray ISOs and DVD ISOs (for my MyFilms plugin), and individual AVI files (for my MyTVSeries plugin). I want that player to also be able to stretch any 4x3 videos from MyTVSeries to fill my 40" Widescreen HDTV. I found VLC player and I very much like it because I can set the aspect ratio and it loads very quickly, however it does not play Blu-Ray ISOs. I also found ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre and like that, except I am unable to stretch the 4x3 videos to fill the 16x9 screen. What I want to do is to be able to specify that ISOs play in the DVD player (in the settings screen, I would set to external player of ArcSoft), and to have the other files (from MyTVSeries) play with the external player set in the VIDEO section, which would be VLC. As I find the situation right now, both MyTVSeries and MyFilms both use the VIDEO player.
Is there a way to set this up? Thanks!
