[QUOTE="Wooble, post: 400213, member: 90211"] Thank you for the replies. Magao , 2 reasons for the desire to use PowerDVD as an external player. 1) As you mentioned Blu-Ray 2) DTS and DD out will not work with DVDs or ISOs with the internal player. I have AC3 Filter and have tried enabling SPDIF settings on it , The moment I enable SPDIF pass through , the MediaPortal Internal Player will no longer play Physical DVDs or mounted ISOs. I love the IDEA of Media Portal , I look forward to contributing money towards it. But as it stands it is un-usable for me and has taken up hours of my time in trying to configure it. ( I work in IT , I've configured BSD and used it for NAT etc , I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty but this whole HTPC business is nothing compared to building UNIX based firewalls etc ) If i could find a single external player that could handle many various Divx files etc... and play Blu-Ray ISOs AND play them in DTS / DD then maybe i could use a single player everything. AND THEN maybe I could use Media Portal. [/QUOTE]
