Hi all

Im having a problem with DVD playback.

When i insert a DVD it auto starts, in the background with windows 7 media player while MePo is at the top. When this happens i lose the ability to control playback or anything related to the DVD.

Why do DVD disks get played by windows 7 media player and why are they not played directly in MePo?

You should turn off autoplay in windows for any media so it can't steal focus from MP.

I did that now when i insert the DVD and select play disk it asks me to insert a disk.

Should it Auto play?

Should it play inside MePo?

Surely I'm missing something basic here.

    As I'm running 1.3 beta, I followed you're advice but still, if i insert a DVD MePo does nothing.

    Am i supposed to disable auto play in windows as well ( I have )

    Have you checked in "MP Config -> Plugins" if Play Disc and Videos are enabled?
