Hello!
Sorry for my previous post, It was answered before, using browser_back:: will work with the <-- Button in MCE remote.

The only thing that bugs me a little is that I cannot launch the BlueRay popup menu (works if I press F3) but not with the remote, Is there is any way to do it with the i button? the one that launch the HELP menu of pdvd

or the # key for example, will work if I add, for example:

#::^p

or should i use something else?, the i button would be great since its useless the way it is now
thank you
Indkt.

BD / BD+ is hacked will there be an internal player in MP the next time...

here are the German news:

It is hacked by some users of the doom9 forum.

It wont help Mediaportal to get Blu-ray support:

1) Breaking the content protection on Blu-ray disk is considered illegal in manyc countries. So Mediaportal could have any code that would over come the protection.

2) Writing a Blu-ray navigator would be a really big task without any specifications freely available (menus etc.)

you're right i forget :-(

How is this solved for DVDs? They are also copy protected?

Microsoft, Cyberlink etc. are providing the navigator filter that 3rd party applications can use. Its handling the copy protection and menus etc.

ah OK so there is at the moment no filter for BD?

There are Cyberlink, Arcsoft... but they have chosen to limit the access to their filter for their own applications only. This is most likely done because otherwise we would have a way to make copies of blu-ray video & audio streams, wich is something that movie industry doesnt really want.

So in the end there will most likely newer be a "free" directshow based blu-ray navigator filter for 3rd parties to be used. Maybe later when directshow is not used anymore and all applications are using media foundation (wich should provide tools for protected video and audio paths).

So, there wont most likely be any way for MP to play blu-ray disks natively. You should send your thanks to the movie industry... As you can see copying HD movies is not affected, its already possible. So what did movie industry won? Nothing I would say, only pissed some HTPC users in the face (of cource from their marketing perspectice its non-significant user base so they just dont care).

Well... One good reason to continue with this great thread of how to integrate PDVD (and maybe TotalMedia Theather to MP )

big problem here!

i just installed this plugin in MP RC2.
when i start MP now i have no icons/text to select my movies, my music etc..
i only have the background, date and a small image.

i already disabled the plugin but its not changing.
i use the spinsafe 1080 skin.
but i also have the same problem with the other skins. only background and the buttons to minimize or close

does somebody know how to fix this without reinstalling MP?

also i have a problem with the path to powerdvd.
i cannot start the HD starter because he cannot find the file.
reason is very simple.

my path file is as following:
cyberlink/powerdvd8/.....
and not cyberlink/powerdvd/...

is there a way i can change this?
i don't want to reinstall powerdvd as i allready had many many problems with powerdvd.

thanks,

montecristo

edit:
i already fixed the problem with powerdvd. i edited the script.
this part is working now.
but i still have an empty screen in MP
