[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 565900, member: 91446"] Hi there. I was wondering if there is a way that you can set up a dummy movie within Moving Pictures which can effectively play any disc in the drive (using the external player). I am subscribed to LOVE FILMS and their Blue Ray discs are often rental versions and are not recognised by the online media data search and as such do not appear within the Moving Pictures film list (also, I don't want them added when I don't own the disc in any case, as I will only have to delete it later). This means that to play these films, I need to close MP and load PDVD manually. Clearly this is not an enormous problem, but I am lazy :-). I have used HD_Starter in the past for this, but now I use X-Factor (which doesn't support X-Factor in basic home) with Moving Pictures, I would ideally like to have a single point for all discs to be played - Moving Pictures is my favourite option and the wife finds it simple to use. Would it be possible to put "Play Current Removable Disc" as an option in the Moving Pictures startup filters menu, so that I can just click on that and my external player will automatically run? Or, is there an existing way to do this within Moving Pictures already (such as creating a dummy film entry or something)? Thanks Robbo100 [/QUOTE]
