this is embarrassing! I spent countless hours registering file paths for hundreds of entries, and then had to pick one that was blank…
Sorry I was so harsh on you buddy ... We all make mistakes (maybe I make more than my share! ) Anyway, I'll let Giga continue with the good guidance. I'm sure you will eventually be successful. Hang in there. BTW next time you need to edit a bunch of fields, the BulkEdit plugin was designed for that purpose - with LoadDVD in mind. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here.

I await your further instructions. By the way, I could write you a PM about the theory behind this switching madness, if you`re interested.

Jan. Sorry, I interrupted the flow. You haven't yet told us whether his latest suggestions, in his last post worked ... | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!! BDPFrog. |

| Posted: | | | | My browser had a hiccup yesterday, but here are the answers:
1. When I play a HD DVD marked movie, J. River Media Center starts and plays the movie as it should.
2. When I used: Echo "Playing "+%6+" :switchtoxp" I got this: "Main Feature" 024543135548 1 50 "" "F:\Low Def. Video\The Day After Tomorrow\VI DEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO" "DVD" "Playing"+"F:\Low Def. Video\The Day After Tomorrow\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO"+"C:\P rogram Files (x86)\Promixis\Girder5\switchtoxp.bat" Press any key to continue . . .
3. When I used: Echo parameter (%5) (“F:\Low Def. Video\The Day After Tomorrow\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO”) I got this: "Main Feature" 024543135548 1 50 "" "F:\Low Def. Video\The Day After Tomorrow\VI DEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO" "DVD" parameter ("") ("F:\Low Def. Video\The Day After Tomorrow\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO" ) Press any key to continue . . .
Hope I got it right.
All the OS`s have identical hard drive mapping and labeling. This, of course, because the playback is written to a text file on one OS and read back on another.

| Posted: | | | | OK looks like PlayFromDisk.bat is now ok. you can now remove these 2 lines in it: echo %7 pause and these if you put them in PlayFromDisk.bat: Echo "Playing "+%6+" :switchtoxp" or Echo parameter (%5) (“F:\Low Def. Video\The Day After Tomorrow\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO”) pause In switchtoxp.bat and switchtovistahd.bat add these lines as first: echo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 pause then try playing a DVD and a BluRay and see what you get here. if you see the file location information your in bussiness the next step would be to pass the file location information from %6 to Grider Quote: They make Girder write a text file with the location of the desired file before rebooting. After reboot (witch is done by a second set of batch files), Girder reads the file, opens the movie in the right program and deletes the text file.
XP (with switchtoxp.bat) Vista HD (with switchtovistahd) | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted. Please include the sources for your changes in the contribution notes, especially for cast and crew additions. |

I think we`re on to something. I got the file location info twice and therefore took out the pause from the switchtoxp batch file. I changed back to play instead of play/s and pressed the button. That triggered a reboot to XP, but, as you said, no text file is written by Girder because it doesn`t have that info when the video file is not double clicked in windows. I am not sure how to do this, as the LUA script in Girder requires the original video file to be selected. The video files are still associated with the switchto batch files, so maybe we can use that for something. I also took out the third option “BluRay” from the PlayFromDisk.bat file, as I only seem to need two options. On XP, the only needed file is switchtovistahd, and on Vista HD, the only needed file is switchtoxp. On the second Vista, both these files will be needed, but the third option is unnecessary. Do you agree?
Jan.
Edit: I just tested this again, and it actually seems to work without anything added to the Girder files. Give me a few minutes to test it properly, and I´ll get back to you. | | | Last edited: by jankri |

You are every bit the genius they say you are!!! After a restart, everything now works exactly the way I wanted it to. I must admit that I’m not sure how Girder gets the file location, but perhaps the file association itself fixes that. One small issue, I guess this one`s for Mediadogg. The keyboard shortcuts you gave me, work perfectly on version 1.45, but do not seem to work on version 1.46. Can you please test that on your side and let me know?

Jan. Well why do you think he (or she) is "the wizard"? As far as the keyboard shortcuts, I'll take a look, but what I gave you should only be considered a sample. It will change based on your system, e.g. which plugins you have installed, and how the LoadDVD options are set. So, I was giving you an approach rather than a specific solution. Just try it manually - whatever sequence of keys works manually, you code that into Girder. And for the record, the sequence I developed was in fact using 1.46. | | | Thanks for your support.

I tried it manually, and it works in 1.45, but not in 1.46. I alway have just one disk or one file per profile, so I wrote a macro in Girder that plays that file with one push of a button on my remote. I could always roll back to 1.45, whatever changes you made doesn`t seem to affect my system. Let me just thank you both again for your invaluable help!

Jan. I don't have a clue. There is no difference in this fetaure between 1.45 and 1.46 that I am aware of. How can it "not work" manually? If the menus appear on the screen, do they not get invoked when you press the keys? I guess I don't get it ... (And to the contrary, it appears that the changes ARE affecting your system - I just don't know how or why at this point.) | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here.

I found the reason for my keyboard problems. My HTPC is in another room with no keyboard or computer display of its own, so I remote control it from another computer in my office. On 1.45, the remote computer was able to manually control DVDPro with the said keyboard shortcuts, but with 1.46, the shortcuts have to be sent from a local keyboard(I connected one to test it). This makes no difference in my daily use, as the remote works with both versions.

Jan. Glad you found it, but I am baffled as to why the difference. Whatever is going on, was not intended. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!! BDPFrog. |
