Hmmm ok ... 51 pages ...and im confused...well it's probaly only me
Few questions
if i do this

1. Copy the files HD Starter.dll and HD_Starter.exe in the MediaPortal plugins\Windows directory
2. Execute the DLLFix in the plugins\Windows directory
3. Copy the MediaPortal Skin Image in the desired Skin\Media folder
4. Open the MP Config and choose the HD Starter plugin (its a MultiShortCurt plugin), select the desired icon and the HD_Starter.exe path
5. Enter the needed settings like in the Screenshot
6. Copy if needed the PowerDVD Skin file in the PowerDVD installation folder %PROGRAM FILES%\Cyberlink\PowerDVD\Skin
7. Select in PDVD Config the new Skin

Does it matter if it's the PowerDVD7, 8 or 9 from Cyberlink that is installed ?

I think u have to rename PowerDVD8.exe to PowerDVD.exe

 

[Biografen]

So i can actually go out there, buy PowerDVD9 and use the guidelines on the first page
and i can then watch Blu-Ray's ?

 

[hkjensen]

Yes you should be abel to watch BR-discs, if your have a BR-drive

 

[Biografen]

Cool
Thx

Thx again

Vista 64 help

So I was able to get this running on my XP machine, which I tested out MP to see if I liked it (and it is wonderful!)

However, my HTPC is running Vista 64 and I can't get it running. I imagine that the issue is that both PowerDVD and Media Portal are installed in the Program Files (x86) folder instead of just Program Files. The initial post said something about recompiling the script if you didn't have the installations done in the normal Program Files folders, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Anyone got some precompiled for 64 bit systems? Or can tell me how to compile them myself? Thanks!

To recompile download the source from here https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...r-powerdvd-working-solution-32268/#post211807 and download AutoHotKey from AutoHotkey - Free Mouse and Keyboard Macro Program with Hotkeys and AutoText

It should be very easy to recompile the source (I have done it, but i don't have a 64 bit system)

in MoPath's script the pathes are hardcoded. So you must recompile it, if you use a different version of PDVD or an installation-path that is not the default.

If you are using my HD_Starter (see post #585) with ini-File you don't have to recompile it, because all pathes can be maintained by editing the ini-file.

Well, i manage to compile the HD file so it poits at the right Directory. So now when i hit the "NEW" Button in MP it shotdown or minimize the MP and starts PDVD9. BUT , when im done with the Blu-Ray film. I Turn off PDVD it don't starts MP again
What could be the reason for this?
