So, an update from me:

I've gone active by myself - I'm far away from skilled in C#, but got enough Knowledge of programming in general to reconstruct what is done by the plugin - have taken the 1.8.1 source of Moving Pictures and have added some lines to the Code.

Now there is an Option under the Advanced Settings in the Moving Pictures Configuration called "External Player PreMounting", set to True by Default.

The behaviour of that new Option is:
Set to 'True', the plugin keeps mounting image-files the normal way, before starting the Playback.
Set to 'False', the checking / Loop, if an Image is mounted will be skipped

So what I have configured and tested with that is:
Use an External Player.
The path is set to PowerDVD.exe
As Arguments it just needs the Default %filename% variable.
Set the PreMounting to false, so that this is done by the external Player.

Something "strange" in the Moving Pictures configuration was, that i had to set the variable %filename% in quotation-marks ("%filename%")- so that the external Player receives it that way (ex. "C:\.....")

Positive effect of that all:
PowerDVD mounts the Image, starts the Playback automatically, changes to Fullscreen (for me) and I don't have to hassle with the "bug" already mentioned in this thread and the temporary fix with a launcher.
PDVD don't seems to restart into another Playback mode - there is also no Need for, because the GUI is just seen for short (while mounting) and then doesn't interest anymore while Playback (in my opinion).

Also, People with Windows 7 or lower (who can't Mount "native") using PDVD would not Need a third Party mounting tool like DeamonTools etc.

I'm not very familiar with the licensing, rights of the dev(s) and Agreement (you can blame me for that, if you want to ), so I'm not sure about attaching it here for others who want's to test it.

What I will do anyway is pushing that idea / Code to the dev, so that it may be taken over (if it Looks like an usefull feature for him) and also could be done more....... "professional" (in anticipiation, that my code is nooby )

Regards!
