Vcd Autoplay (1 Viewer)

[hendry]

I have been using Snapstream’s Beyond TV. When I heard about MediaPortal I switched to MediaPortal. Now I am a MP man. I LOVE MY MEDIAPORTAL.
I rent lots of Asian S/VCD movies. It’s nice to have an option to auto play vcd. I think it is very nice option to have (like the “Play DVD” button).
OR
Is there any work around of this problem? I went through the entire forum; I couldn’t find any good answers. I installed the cdxa, no luck. PLEASE HELP ME PLEAE PLEASE.

I went through the entire forum; I couldn’t find any good answers.

look closer, the answer is in the forum. To make a long story short: no vcd autoplay, no workaround.
