Hello all. I've been using MediaPortal for several years on my old HTPC, playing compressed format videos and DVD ISO's, all using VLC as an external player. This has served me well, until now.
I made the plunge into beginning to rebuilt my collection in Blu-Ray. This was part of a long overdue upgrade to an HD TV, more storage, and a more powerful HTPC box. I'm ripping images of Blu-Rays using AnyDVD. In Windows Explorer, my file type association mounts them successfully to Virtual CloneDrive which autoplays them in PowerDVD 10. Works like a charm.
Now enter MediaPortal. I've tried making the external video file player VCDMount.exe and VCDdaemon.exe. I've tried making the image player both files. I've tried setting the virtual drive to both files. I've tried using Drive 0 & 1. No matter what I do, I get the error "Can't mount 0!" followed by "Can't mount 0,G:\filename.iso". (My setup involves a mapped network drive).
I've found many references to this problem, but the solutions seem to be outdated or revolve around a plugin I am not using. I am perfectly happy mounting the ISO's to VCD and playing them in PowerDVD, I just want to use the MediaPortal front end to get there. Any help would be much appreciated.
Edit: VCD version is 5.4.5.0, MP version is 1.2.1.0. Running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
