Not all is new - what is new is the explicit possibility to setup external player for either automatic or manual playback.So all this is new in this version?
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...y_Films/4_Customizing_My_Films#Movie_PlaybackI have been using MyFilms for awhile in the same way with an external player to play BR without all this.
I am not really sure how to setup what you are talking about and I want to make sure it won't effect the playback of DVDs in the internal player.
