I am trying to setup an external player definition for VLC to automatically play a mounted ISO in a particular drive with My Movies.
I have defined the following in my ExternalPlayers.xml file in C:\ProgramData\My Movies\FileStorage\UserCustomizations\ directory:
Code:ExternalPlayers
ExternalPlayer Name="DISCPLAYER" DisplayName="VLC Disc Player"
DVDFileStructure True /DVDFileStructure
BluRayFileStructure True /BluRayFileStructure
HDDVDFileStructure True /HDDVDFileStructure
RecordedTV False/RecordedTV
FilesFalse /Files
Process Namevlc.exe /ProcessName
Parameters "[PATH]" --fullscreen DVD:///Z:/ /Parameters
Location StartupDelay="5"
Path c:\Program Files\videoLAN\vlc\vlc.exe /Path
/Location
/ExternalPlayer
/ExternalPlayers
SORRY FOR THE WEIRD FORMATTING BUT THE FORUM APPARENTLY DOES NOT LIKE THE CAHRACTERS > AND <. CAUSES THE ENGINE TO CRASH. However, the parameters are correctly bracketed in the actual file.
I have also turned off autoplay in WMC.
The definition seems to be valid. I can see my definition in the collection manager and assign it as appropriate. However, when I try to play a movie My Movies seems to load and mount the ISO file but it never plays the actual movie. I just get the spinning orb and then nothing. If I exit WMC and try running VLC using the same path and options as above:
Code:c:\Program Files\videoLAN\vlc\vlc.exe --fullscreen DVD:///Z:/
The DVD loads file and plays. Any help is appreciated. TIA!
