is it normal that the plug-in seriously slows down profile switching, it usually takes about a second for a profile to "load", after I installed it it took about 3-4 seconds

There is a fix for this in version 1.31. You can go to the Tools\View Plugins\LoadDVD\Options panel and turn toolbar icon on or off. Save and exit. If you turn them off, only text will display in the toolbar - not the icon, and it goes much faster if you have multiple discs in the profile. One disc - kind of a wash.

Maybe this will help someone here.

I just found out how to make PowerDVD automatically start playing a HD or BD disc when using PlayFromDisk.bat to load an .iso and start PowerDVD. My PlayFromDisk.bat file looks like this (The L: at the end of the PowerDVD command line is the Virtual Drive letter that Dameon Tools Lite 4.12.1 uses):

@echo off
rem %1 DescriptionSideA
rem %2 profileid - this is usually the UPS code
rem %3 disc#
rem %4 slot#
rem %5 DVD Title
rem %6 filepath
rem %7 mediatype = "DVD", "HD" or "BluRay"
rem %8 and thereafter - remainder of Location field

if %7=="DVD" goto DVD
if %7=="HD" goto HD
if %7=="BluRay" goto BluRay
goto end


:DVD
@echo off
%1\Video_TS\Video_ts.ifo
goto end

:HD
@echo off
"c:\program files\daemon tools lite\daemon.exe" -unmount 0
"c:\program files\daemon tools lite\daemon.exe" -mount 0,%1
start /max C:\Progra~1\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PowerDVD.exe L:\
goto end

:BluRay
@echo off
"c:\program files\daemon tools lite\daemon.exe" -unmount 0
"c:\program files\daemon tools lite\daemon.exe" -mount 0,%1
start /max C:\Progra~1\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PowerDVD.exe L:\
goto end

:end


BTW, Great plugin MD!

Thanks,

Kevin

Sorry, Jim, I've been out of town.  I'll try out the new version once I get unpacked and let you know.

Okay, am I supposed to use cx850d and cx860 as the location?  Or still use cx995v1?  When I kept it at cx995v1, what is happening is that the bit rate display is staying on the screen.  I have to hit DISPLAY on the remote to make it go away.

Sometimes PLAY works, other times it does not, but I don't see how you can control that.  Some of the dvds have a whole bunch of stuff that comes up before you have to hit PLAY, so the timing won't work.  If the menu comes up right away, it works, but that is rare.  Only thing that would make that work consistently is have a PLAY icon for your plugin that would just send the PLAY signal when it was needed.

Thank you!!!
Becca

I used CX850V and CX860V to represent two slightly different versions of the codes. So let me know if either if them works better than CX995V. Yes, the location has to be changed, otherwise LoadDVD has no clue what machine you are using. Hopefully one of the new code sets will give a better result than what you are getting now, and we can tweak it as necessary.

Regarding "Play", I checked my code - I never send it. I just wake up the changer, go to Dsiplay, select the DVD, press enter and then Display (off). I do not attempt to guess the timing of the "Play" button. I have planned a future release to include some player control buttons (pause, stop, play, etc.), but that may not be soon.

And as a reminder, I asked you to tell me the proper sequence of keys to start a DVD. I don't have an 850 or 860. Or I can continue to shoot in the dark - up to you.

Hallo ,

I use your Plugin to open Videos which I have stored to harddisk and it is working fine
when using NERO-Videoplayer as default player-software for .mpeg- and .ifo files.

If I change Windows Vista default Player-Software for these files to Cyberlink-Power DVD-Ultra
I get the popup "Please Check filepath........" and it is not working.

With Windows Mediaplayer as default-Player the plugin is also working fine.

Do anyone of you have an idea to solve this problem ?

Thank you and my regards

Did you see the post just three prior to yours?

Hallo mediadogg ,

thank you for your reply but can you give me any further help
because I do not know what to do with the information 3 steps above.
Can you give me detailed information what to do exaktly to solve
the problem with Power-DVD.

My regards
dcologne

I'm out of town right now, with limited time. Sorry. In the meantime, try reading the numerous detailed examples in this thread. If I gave you details, all I would do is cut and paste from them anyway. I describe how to do it in my first post, then give more details in repsonse to the exact same question as yours several times after that. Unfortunately, that will require some study on your part. But the result will be a better understanding. I'll check with you in a few days to see how its going. Keep us posted.

Is it possible to add a shortcut key to enable playback?

Ok, you can try V1.32 Beta available on my web site. Use Alt-1 for disc 1 through Alt-9 for disc 9. Please report any instability or problems so I can decide whether to release from "Beta" status. thanks.

How are you ripping the DVD to the hard drive? Is it in a VIDEO_TS directory? If so, does PowerDVD play the video if you click on the VIDEO_TS.IFO file?
