[QUOTE="Pom, post: 710090, member: 23933"] I too could not get this to work with the amount of effort i was prepared to put in. I hate to be critical about all the good hard work put into this plugin, but my thoughts at the time were that it is far too dependant on third-party filters and user skill/knowledge. Having achieved a nice and stable codec set-up in Windows 7 that worked (and still does work) very well for me, i was not prepared to potentially mess it up by installing yet more filters. That said, i did follow the instructions in the 1st post - installed MPC filter etc. etc. - but i couldn't get a filter set-up that would play the BD files in Graph edit after a couple of nights of trying, and so i gave up. I would love to have BD handling within MediaPortal, but until a plugin exists that installs/configures all necessary filters for it to work i.e. does all the hard work for me - as dare i say, a M$ solution might - then i'm not interested. Surely this is the holy grail solution?? I'm sure there's a good reason why this plugin doesn't do this, but even for me as an experienced Media-Centre/PC enthusiast, i just found the setting up of the environment needed to allow this plugin to work, far too complicated and prone to failure.
