Blu-Ray / HD-DVD Player with PowerDVD (a working solution) (3 Viewers)

[Dexx]

I'm getting some strange behaviour on my XP SP3 + MP RC2 system. Running HD_Starter.exe from the command prompt works fine - sure enough Powerdvd is launched. But running it as a plugin from inside MP complains that the file cannot be found. I have HD_starter.exe and the dll in the mediaportal\plugins\windows directory and the plugin properties lists windows\HD_Starter.exe as the exefile.

"MP complains that the file cannot be found."
The exe needs to be fully pathed IIRC - see earlier messages.

Well, after my htpc is finaly runnig fine again), I can try to map the functionalty of the plugin to Button of my remote.

...I'm looking for a solution to map the plugin to a Button to map it on my Remote (imon).

I thought of the shortcutter plugin, but don't realy know how to configure it.

Does the Button have a Skin-ID?

Or is there any other solution?

I managed to add a button to my Basic Home screen in the Aeon skin for this plugin. See my post here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/aeon-274/aeon-menu-generator-41980/index17.html#post302660

I don't understand what you did. What do I have to change to map the script/button to the remote?

Guys,

I noticed that on my system, when PowerDVD loads, the mouse stays center and never goes away.I dont know if anyone else got this problem, but it annoyed me. I wrote a simple c# app to get rid of the mouse. It's so simple infact, here is the source:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;

namespace Hide_Mouse
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position 
                = new System.Drawing.Point(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height);
        }
    }
}

I've also attached a rared up exe of the app. All you need to do is set it to run at logon

This works on XP but crashes in Vista.

This was written on Vista for Vista lol- do you have .NET Framework installed? i cannot remember which version of the framework i compiled it with. I'll recompile it for .NET 2.0 if people want it

Hello i've been using this plugin with RC1 and windows SP2. But now i have updated to SP3 and
RC2 and Mediaportal gives me a message that it Could not start program HD Starter?

I have no problem here with MediaPortal RC3 and HDstarter. do you have powerdvd8? So you have the right HDstarter.exe ?

Yes i have PowerDVD 8 and i can start HD_starter directly from explorer but inside MediaPortal it's not possible.

It worked for me, but I can't say I find it usefull. I can't get MP right when using external players, the internal player works fine with my Harmony Remote, but external players have differtent controls ... I just add the .m2ts / .evo to the file extensions in MP. Only problem with that is that subs don't work. Maybe with a new Haali?

MoPhat:
You write:

ATTENTION:
PowerDVD and MediaPortal must be installed in the path %PROGRAM FILES%\Team MediaPortal\ and %PROGRAM FILES%\Cyberlink


If you have a OS with other language than english, should the folder then still be named program files as the english one?

 

[Netzdiver]

Hy Bjur,

first no second yes!!

%PROGRAM FILES% is a systmpath and points to the Path where programs typical will be installed (Programme in German). The 2.´nd part of the Path must be the same (/Team MediaPortal & /Cyberlink)
