[QUOTE="TheBatfink, post: 701153, member: 52265"] I thanks for the reply. I've been playing some more. When I said the prompt didn't seem in focus and I couldn't select yes to continue the second part, this wasn't entirely accurate. For some reason there is a 10 second delay before MP becomes responsive? Then I can select yes or no ok. Incidently when I exit MPCHC myself mid movie, there is no delay in MP control. I don;t use any command line switches, I just have MPCHC's .exe selected as the external player. I make all the settings inside MPCHC itself. There are 3 options.. At the end of playback - Exit MPCHC Do nothing Play next file in folder If I select exit MPCHC then it does exit out and the prompt is there in MPCHC for continuing with the second part. My problem is it totally throws you out of the movie. With MPC you can pass it two files and it will play them consecutively. Could this be a solution somehow. I'd guess most mediaplayers allow stacking of files? The plugin doesn't have to worry about knowing when to start the second file then? As for using an external player, thats a good question. I don;t even use MPC internal codecs, I have to use CoreAVC and Haali Splitter to play back my HD content as my system isn't powerful enough for ffdshow etc with high bitrate 720p x264. Funnily enough after my initial post I thought about the internal player and I *think* I have got CoreAVC loaded in, but when I tested, whilst the video was fine my audio was very choppy (DTS, spdif passthrough). I loaded haali into the codecs too and MP just crashed when I tried to play the file again so I gave up. I guess I could look at this option again. Also, you say remote integration is better? I can fully control MPC out of the box with my media centre remote. The internal player nothing works whatsoever. I have no play or pause, fast forward, rewind, stop..? I guess its all a matter of configuration but I have a setup that works (and doesnt require me learning how to advance config MP :) ) and all I need is this 2nd disc handling to be better. I'm sure I never had this issue with myfilms and my ant catalogue, not sure why it worked with that (and no going back to that isnt an option now I've discovered this plugin!). I guess I'll have to look at configing the internal player for my system and getting the remote working somehow. It would be nice to get moving pictures throw both movie parts at the external player though so I could use MPC. ------ Actually.... How come I can use a custom trailer (advanced options) and it fires up the movie automatically after the intro finishes (I use a DTS-HD demo trailer) but it cant automatically fire up the second part of my movie after the first? That doesn't make sense?? What am I missing? Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
