Blu-Ray / HD-DVD Player with PowerDVD (a working solution) (2 Viewers)

[Bjur]

Thanks, I know it was a system path, but I have seen for instance a german script where it needs to call c:\programme files\ and if I installed it in c:\program files\ the path was wrong.
And if I want a player to support both HD DVD and Blu-ray I should choose totalmedia?
Thanks for the answer!

You should to install the Program in C: \Programme.
C:\Programme is not a real directory, it's a link to "C:\programm files", only.

Hi MoPhat and all


I have a small problem running dllfix.exe (Vista Home Basic) - it launches console and starts patching files and is immediately interrupted by Vista. If I run HD_starter.exe either from inside MP or from folder '...\Plugins\Windows' it shows a message 'Error at line 73 ... Invalid hotkey ...' and exits the program.

Is there any solution to this? Can I make necessary changes to I guess some .dll files manually?

Thanks!

With Vista you must right-click dllfix.exe and click "Run As Administrator", or it doesn't have access rights to change the things it needs to.

Excellent patch - but i've got quite a severe problem. I'm not sure if the answer is in this thread though..it's massive!

Basically, the HD starter starts PowerDVD fine, but I think MP still has the focus even though its minimized. As when I press "play" I can hear the MP select noise instead and then a box pops up saying "another instance of HD starter is running" or whatever. So basically it looks like MP still has the focus. How can I stop it doing this?

Thanks!

If it helps - i've got a hauppauge remote, and i've tried enabling "allow external processes to use the remote" but it still doesnt work.

Settings i can see that could affect it are set as follows:

MP always on top - ticked
MP to tray on gui exit - unticked

notice:
the switch to 24p mode is done by CTRL+SHIFT+4 back to 50hz mode is CTRL+SHIFT+5!
You should define this profiles in you ATI Catalyst Manager, for NVidia i dont know how to do that

Is there anyone who can show me how to set-up these profiles in catalyst manager? I have no idea how to do that.

The plugin is working great by the way!!

Also, when viewing, how do you know which setting you have to use? I have a bluray disk (Earth) which in my opinion is a little bit schocking at playback. I have a feeling it is 24hz. But I have no way of knowing. So, my idea was to try this with these two profiles.

 

[allanp81]

You just set the refresh rate as 24hz and then go into the profile manager and save it. It's a bit complicated to explain fully unfortunately.

Hallo MoPhat

wenn ich eine Blueray oder HDDVD einlege erkennt MediaPortal diese automatisch als Foto-CD bzw. Video-CD.
Hattest du das Problem auch? (Obwohl ich in der MP Konfiguration alles mit autostart ausgeschaltet habe)

viele Grüsse
