I'm looking for some help from someone who's using Cyberlink PowerDVD as the External Blu-ray Player with MovingPictures.
I'm migrating from TotalMedia Theatre, which I've been using for almost 6 years now with MediaPortal/MovingPictures. I recently upgraded my Windows 8.1 HTPC to Windows 10, and TotalMedia Theatre is not only not compatible/supported by Windows 10, it actually causes a BSOD in Windows 10, therefore I had to get rid of it.
I've managed to setup PowerDVD in MovingPictures. When I play a BD ISO, PowerDVD launches and starts the disc. I'm able to play the movie.
However, there's a couple of issues I'm having.
For some reason, it appears that two instances of PowerDVD are launching. I get a full screen windows with a message:
"Warning
Another version of Cyberlink PowerDVD is currently running. You must first close it before launching Cyberlink PowerDVD 15."
The interesting thing is that when I play a movie, this Warning windows appears first, but then it goes in the background and the actual PowerDVD launches which plays the movie. When I stop the movie, this Warning window is still there in the background. I'm not sure why this is happening.
The other issue is, when I stop the BD ISO I'm playing. The blank PowerDVD is still present on the screen. With TMT when I hit Stop, TMT would close & MediaPortal would regain focus. That is not happening with PowerDVD. I have to literally Close *Alt+F4* PowerDVD Windows -- then I have that Warning Windows that I have to hit OK on - and then finally I get my MediaPortal back on the screen.
Will appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks!
