    I'm new to the PowerDVD integration to MediaPortal, so I'm sorry if this has already been answered.
    I have to PowerDVDs running 7 (HD DVD) & 8 (Blu-Ray). How do I get both these two versions into MediaPortal as plugin?
    I read somewhere that the link on page 1 only were for old PowerDVD and also only for one application and not two as in my case.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi
    The plugin works great for me with Mediportal 1.0.0 and PowerDVD 7.3 but I still have a problem : I don't know how to properly get the focus back on Mediaportal once the BD read is over : when I close PowerDVD MP is still minized (even if I said false to the Mediaportal minimize in the plugin configuration), and the HD_Starter is still running.
    Any idea how to fix this ?
    Thanks

    Edit : my fault, I need to read more carefully the first posts. I found the solution : I just needed to press the ESC key

    Great plugin !

    here are 2 skins for PDVD8: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/plugins-47/blu-ray-hd-dvd-player-powerdvd-working-solution-32268/index28.html#post291562

    You can change the background image manually also (in PDVD config)


    Thanks! These skins work with PDVD8.
    Sorry, but I didn't read through all the 42 pages :p

    Great plugin !

    Does anybody know how to map a MCE remote key to the ESC key?
    I still have the problem that I normally use my MCE remote but in oder to return to MP I have to use the keyboard and push the ESC button... :confused:

    Perfect would be, if the "h" button for "Home" or the "Back" button could be used instead...

    Hi,

    there is a Problem, i could not find any solution.

    I have installed the StreamedMP Skin and start i start Mp in the Basic home Screen, but i don't know, how i can get the HP Starter button in the Basic Home Screen....

    In the StreamdMP Skin configurator i can't find any skin or file on the left side that sounds like HP Starter....

    Have anyone a solution for that Problem?

    Grüßle Andi

    |You have to alter the code to fit it to your needs... pathnames for instance...

    Then compile it with the software used in this thread (autohotkey).

    Then download the arcsoftplayer plugin and install it; you do not need the arcsoft player itself; we're gonna use powerDVD. Instead of pointing the plugin in its configuration to the arcsoftplayer, point it to your newly created executable and voila...
