I think I made a few steps in the right direction but I still am not having complete success.
DVDProfiler is up and running and everything is imported. Daemon is setup and the ISO seems to be loaded into the f drive, which is designated.
When I try to play the movie now media player classic opens up and does nothing. If I push ctrl-d or open dvd the movie starts right up.
My command line as was stated before seems to be correct:
/fullscreen /play/ close "%path%
though actually mpc never goes to fullscreen even. Is the command line not being executed? Please help!!!!

it's not easy for me to help you, I'm not using dvdprofiler and files type configuration....
are you movies online or offline or both ?

/fullscreen /play/ close "%path%

make sure to use :

Code: Select all: /fullscreen /play /close "%path%"

or try with

Code: Select all: /fullscreen /play /close "%parameter%"

here is an event that I use for my offline dvd ( but I'm not using files type configuration....) maybe it's can help you :

execute mpc on my f drive:

simulate ctrl+d :

I figured it out. I didn't put the f: in the beginning of the command line

dgemily thanks for all the help especially the DVDProfiler stuff.

I cannot see the image. It just showed two little squares with colour as if it is unloadable. Please show again. Thanks.

Please let me know what you have in the command line. I can play movies with mpc, but when I play offline movies, mpc comes up and I have to do Ctrl-D to play it. Thanks.

Here is what I have in my command line:

/play /close "%parameter%"

offline Event : movies:show offline message

BTW, I use dvdprofiler to setup my online and offline movies and exported to xlobby.
