Trouble getting media player classic to work

[hawk1278]

Hi,
I just downloaded XLobby today and have been playing around and getting it setup. I am currently having trouble getting movies to play with media player classic 6.4.9.0.

My dvds are on my hard drive with the paths looking something like: E:\Media\My Movies\Batman Begins\VIDEO_TS\. I have tried running media player classic from command line before(with out daemon tools) using: mplayerc "E:\Media\My Movies\Batman Begins\VIDEO_TS\" /dvd or mplayerc "E:\Media\My Movies\Batman Begins" /dvd and the movies play just fine.

I have gone into the setup window for XLobby and setup everything I needed to according to the instructions found here http://www.xlobby.com/files/jowaldo/documentation/setupguide/index.htm.

My "File Types" entry for media player classic looks like:
Program: C:\mplayerc.exe
Extensions:iso,ifo,video_ts,vob
Command Line Switches: %parameter% /dvd
(I have tried adding quotes around the %parameter% and that does not seem to help either).

If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Thank you

I don't think you need the /dvd switch. The %parameter% that you're passing to mplayerc.exe is Drive\path\video_ts.ifo. In other words, a file, not a directory. Check your movie database and see what value is stored for parameter.

Is there a guide that shows how to link the transport buttons in a skin to the Media Player classic controls for pause, stop, FF,RW and such.
Thanks for any help, Thanks Wayne.

U can always download some other skin which uses MPC and check them there, and copy to your own skin. If i remember right for example rikas dragon makes use of MPC.
