dvd command line
 

i'm using bs player as an external player in Mediaportal.
When watching say .avi files i use %filename% in the command line to make it autorun.
How do i do that on a DVD?

Probably you just need to point to the .IFO file located in the DVD

e.g.:
bsplayer.exe D:\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO :wink:

Didn't work :(

Also tried typing "C:\Program Files\Webteh\BSplayerPro\bsplayer.exe D:\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO" from the run menu in XP.

Didn't work that either...

Anyone know another solution perhaps?

Which version of BSplayer do you have? DVDs are fully supported only by BSplayer PRO v2.x and up

You need an MPEG2 decoder to watch DVDs. Take a look at adicoto's list of codecs (link in the READ THIS FIRST BEFORE POSTING post).

I suggest you Elecard decoder!

I use Pro 2.122 build 941

i have all my codecs in order. I'm watching all my DVDs in BSP so there's no problem there.

Are you sure that D:\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO is a valid path on your system? DVDs have always been 'opened' by parsing the InFOrmantion file.

Got it working by just putting D:\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO in the command line in MediaPortal setup and not choosing the bsplayer.exe and have bsplayer the default DVDplayer.

Thanks all for your help with the best player ever :) :) :)

Weird, but nice :wink:
