[QUOTE="KuLuYuk, post: 1174053, member: 121403"] [B]Update 01: [/B]After reinstalling my HTPC i realized, that there was a problem with the script. Instead of checking the drive passed by mediaportal, always drive D was checked. This is fixed now. [B][/B] Hello, I had some problems to launch 3D movies with PowerDVD15 as external player. Good news: I found a way to solve my problem and want to share it with you :) [B]1. Cause of Problem / Explanation[/B] skip to point 3 if you just want a quick fix ;) For some reason, 3D mode is only working for me, when I use the autoplay feature of PowerDVD (e.g. double click on drive letter). The Syntax to play a movie inside drive D:\ would be "[B]PDVDLP.exe AUTOPLAY BD D:\"[/B] (PDVDLP seems to start PowerDVD in Cinema Mode) However, this workes only, when you play real Bluray discs or mount an image manually with Daemon Tools. When using the automount feature of MediaPortal, PowerDVD will complain that the disc is missing. The reason seems to be, that PowerDVD seems to restart it's exe file when going to Autoplay mode. During this restart MediaPortal detects, that the exe is not running and unmounts the disc image imediately. At least this seemed to be the problem for me, I am open for discussion :) [B]2. Fix of Problem / Function of Launcher[/B] I have written a short Autohotkey script to Launch PowerDVD. The script needs two parameters: 1. exe file + parameters (in my case: "PDVDLP.exe AUTOPLAY BD") 2. Drive letter (e.g. "D:\") The Launcher starts PowerDVD when the given drive is ready to use. If the drive is not ready after 10 seconds the Launcher stops. After starting PowerDVD, the Launcher keeps checking, if PowerDVD is still running. If PowerDVD is not running anymore, the Launcher quits with a delay of 2 seconds. The delay is needed for the short moment when PowerDVD goes to fullscreen / autoplay mode and restarts. [B]3. Launcher and instruction[/B] Place the Launcher.exe in PowerDVD directory. In Mediaportal config set the following: External Player: [B]C:\Path-to-PowerDVD\Launcher.exe[/B] Parameters: [B]"PDVDLP.exe AUTOPLAY BD" "%root%"[/B] [COLOR=#ff0000](including the quotation marks!) [COLOR=#000000]Important: PowerDVD needs to be set to TV mode[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]I hope this will work for you! You can also modify the Autohotkey Script and recompile it.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
