Yes, I initially wrote OpenWith just for MKVs with subtitles and I think I left some bad logic in there.  I’ll fix it this weekend.

Hi Mark, I’m working on the blog post today…I’m expanding it a little bit.  I was writing it for the native Movie Library.  For My Movies it is a bit easier though, you can configured External Players via http://wiki.mymovies.dk/(S(o10p4jnqkfcltiz5da3nd145))/My%20Movies%203%20User%20Customization.ashx. If you have any trouble with it just let me know and I can create a sample XML for you. (Just provide the base XML file you have since I don’t have MyMovies installed)

I missed your last response.  If you are up-to-date on TMT5 then I would suggest ensuring you are on the latest version of VirtualCloneDrive.  Currently that is 5.4.5.0

When it errors next time exit of Media Center and see if the ISO mounted.

ClamAV works but no real-time.  Symantec Endpoint Protection works but…its Symantec.  AVG is working on a version but they have gotten severly bloated.  Forefront works but not everyone has access to it.  I believe you can get MSE to install with an ORCA change.  I can verify later.

There are a couple usable PCI video cards that support HDCP.  It is another option.  But I would recommend waiting for the USB model instead.

[quote=htpc_user]This program sounds good. I don’t play a lot of mkv’s, but the last time I did I had terrible audio sync issues when trying to play inside of 7MC. So I just figured no more than I try to play an mkv I would just give up and go over to the HTPC, minimize Media Center, open up TMT manually and play the file. But it would be nice to do it from the couch and have it return to Media Center when finished. Does the program close after returning to Media Center?[/quote]

 

Yes it does.  When the configured applications quits, Media Center regains focus or Back is pressed.

I have that adapter (for a WLAN PCIe) and did previously attempt to use it with the InfiniTV.  It did NOT work.

Would this work for dvd folders?  I’d rather have Arcsoft playing my dvds.

I didn’t add this functionality because there is an easier way to do that already.  Give me a little bit to follow up on that.

Have you opened PDVD10 within Media Center without a disc in the drive (or virtual drive) and configured HD Audio?  PDVD10 (and even PDVD11) will “forget” its audio preferences when a non-HD Audio disc is played and you need to manually configure it again.

• I get the openwith config warning on filetypes that I did not assign to openwith, such as MP4…native playback still happens, but I have to click “OK” on the openwith message, so do I need to assign the default media 

[/quote]

Odd, it shouldn’t.  I’ll test tonight.  By chance when this happens are there SRT files in the same folder as the video file?

• MKV defaults most of the time to TMT5, but after stopping and resuming or opening another MKV, native playback opens it up instead of TMT5.

That is known issue, will get fixed this week.

• I also tried using WMPx86 to launch, but that did not play nicely in terms of closing down when wanting to get back into 7MC.

[/quote]

I hadn’t tested with WMP but I would assume it wouldn’t play nice since internally Media Center uses the WMP engine.

[mikinho]

If possible, let me know if it worked.  I know version has quite a few improvements I could make but not sure if anyone uses.

[mikinho]

Sadly no, it is one of the most requested feature missing in Windows Media Center. 

[mikinho]

I can help there.  Save the below as a reg file and import it.  That or apply the registry keys yourself

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMikinhoOpenWithVideo.mkv]
"FileName"="C:Program Files (x86)ArcSoftTotalMedia Theatre 5uMCEPlayer5.exe"
"Arguments"=""{0}""

[mikinho]

Are you up to date on patches?

 

What external exe do you have configured, uMCEPlayer5.exe?

[mikinho]

+1 for SyncToy.  I used it for a long time (since early XP days).  I’ve since moved to a custom SyncFramework tool but does pretty much the same thing.
