[QUOTE="fLaSkin, post: 1178837, member: 129492"] Hi all, some time is gone since I've watched a 3D BluRay. Yesterday I decided to "do it again". I've installed PowerDVD 15 Ultra on my rig and setup the usual external player and Virtual Drive (native [Win10]) Parts in MePo. After struggling a bit with problems I could fix (more or less) with the Launcher of [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/powerdvd-15-launcher-fix-3d-playback-with-daemon-tools.133586/'][U]this thread[/U][/URL] my experience with ISO playback / mounting is (again): semi optimal.... So there have come an idea / question to me: Why not passing the path of ISO file to the external player and let IT handle the rest. Also with the already mentioned Launcher in the other thread, the procedure is not user-friendly and far from "clean": - MePo starts mounting the ISO -> Moving Pictures do wait for the mounting to finish -> if its not done in 10 secs (default) we get a prompt to retry it -> if its mounted, the external player will be called -> in terms of using PowerDVD 15, the player is self-launching an other instance and so MePo is "loosing" the external player -> resulting in unmounting the ISO (for that the mentioned Launcher) PowerDVD greatly can handle ISO playback / mounting itself - there is no need to premount it in MePo for PDVD. For the first time opening an ISO in it, there will be a prompt that a seperate driver will be installed for that purpose -> no deal, once done PowerDVD is selfmounting the file and playing it. So I thought, "do some changes in the MePo configuration": I've set the external player to "C:\Program Files(x86)\Cyberlink\PowerDVD 15\Movie\Cinema\PowerDVDCinema.exe" (nice, slick fullscreen GUI) (may some misspelling in it - I'm writing it out of my mind right now) and as parameters %filename%. I then disabled the Auto-mounting feature under Virtual Drive. My expection was: I haven't ticked Auto-Mounting of images, so selecting the Movie in Moving Pictures will result in just opening the external player with the path of the file as parameter. What I did get was an (error) Message in Mediaportal / Moving Pictures, that the Image could not be mounted and so the playback can't be started.... May someone could help me? May I got some misstakes in my thinking, or Image-handling is not done the way I wish, when mounting in MePo is disabled?! I do want to get rid of the MePo mounting-behaviour, no matter if its the nativ Windows-way or via 3d party (DaemonTools etc.), because letting the external player handle this part seems more reliableto me.
