Hi All,

After playing TMT5 and Power DVD 11, i am decided to go with Power DVD11.

Cant use PD 11 as external player. The player starts and just stays there. it does not play the movie.

These are my .XML and .BAT files used in XBMC. Please let me know if there is something wrong.

Hi

I think you need to correct these lines, make the true to false. Save the xml file and reopen the xbmc it should work.
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>

Thanks
 
I'm having the same issue any chance you could post up your xml and bat files or point us to where you found the solution?

Thanks.
