Greetings all!
I'm having a bit of trouble with playback of my Blu-ray discs. I want to simply have Kodi launch PowerDVD 17 externally whenever I insert the disc. Or, just have the option just show in the main menu for me to select. So far, I've tried adding the menu item through
Setup menus and widget > Add on the left > Choose item from menu > Common > Play DVD
But on the main menu, that option doesn't show even with a BD inserted into my internal drive. I've tried following guides on how to properly get PowerDVD 17 to launch, so here is my playercorefactory.xml. It also contains some 3D capabilities I've added as well.
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="3D" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Users\SP\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\PlayISO3D.bat</filename>
<args>"{1}"</args>
<hidekodi>true</hidekodi>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<forceontop>false</forceontop>
</player>
<player name="2D" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Users\SP\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\PlayISO2D.bat</filename>
<args>"{1}"</args>
<hidekodi>true</hidekodi>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<forceontop>false</forceontop>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv|avi" player="VideoPlayer"/>
<rule filename=".*.3D.*|.*.3D.iso|3D.*" player="3D"/>
<rule filetypes="iso|bdmv|mpls|m2ts" player="2D"/>
<player name="PowerDVD" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD17\PowerDVD.exe</filename>
<args></args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="bd|ifo" player="PowerDVD"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
What am I doing wrong here? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
