PowerDVD for HD-DVD only almost got it need help. (1 Viewer)

[markrb]

Messing around with PowerDVD and MP today I almost got it working the way I want completely by chance, almost.

The key is in the fact MP doesn't understand HD-DVD's and you can set PowerDVD to auto play only HD-DVD's and ignore all other file types at least for mounted images in the newest Daemon tools. (I rip all my HD-DVD's to the HD since the X-Box drive is so freaking loud.)

So what happens is that I tell MP to mount the HD-DVD ISO and then PowerDVD starts up and auto plays the image, while MP goes huh and does nothing (exactly what I wanted).

Here is the rub that I can't seem to figure out. MP stays in the foreground and powerdvd plays behind it. I can Alt-Tab it to the front, but I would rather have it just come up in front.

I have set MP to not always be on top and set PowerDVD to be on top all the time, but this has no effect.

I can't think of anything else to try. Any thoughts on this?

The only way I got it to work is by keeping MP as the default DVD player. This is the way I prefer for all regular DVD's.

Thanks,
Mark

Noob here!!
I have the same issue, except i wan't it to play in MP.

FYI It seems to work if you just point MP to the EVO files too,

Maybe we need someone who can program to port MyMovies plugin for MCE to Mediaportal.
Seems that 2.3 can use powerdvd as the player.
I'll post it at 'future requests'.
