Experts Needed--Unusual situation with Sony DVD player.

Postby SMH on Sat Feb 24, 2007 9:29 pm

I have posted here in the past in an attempt to get the generic Sony DVP-
CX777ES plugin to coordinate with Xlobby and fully function. It has turned out very well for the most part, but I have noticed this one issue--and perhaps it is with the plugin itself, but it is definitely a problem and I am wondering if anyone else has found this as well. Basically, when I load xlobby and do anything to load a movie or otherwise, the Sony Player itself suddenly becomes unable to use its "menu" or "top menu" function. Not only through xlobby, but the player itself. The only fix is to power off and then on again. I believe this is why the menu buttons and direction buttons will not function as well with xlobby. It would appeaer that somehow the plugin sends something to the player itself that causes this bug. The problem is now that I can not access the menu screen for bonus materials or scene selection when using xlobby. I must power off and then on again and it regains its normal abilities. But if I do anything with xlobby and send any command to the player using the modem cable, this occurs. I hope someone with some extensive experience can weigh in on this and perhaps look to a solution. This is the last major issue facing the Xlobby and Sony 400 disc player interaction. Anyone have this issue as well or know a possible work around?
Thanks.

First make sure you add this (DVD MegaChanger)_Sony_DVD_CX-777-ES.xml file to your xLobby>ir>codes directory. Then change your events for menu, top menu, up, down, right and left to ir commands using the included file. Do not use the 777es.exe file to run the menu or directional commands. Test and let me know how it goes.

Let's try and move this back to the "Help needed with Sony DVP-CX777ES plugin and Xlobby" to try and keep things together for future users. Thanks!!!
