WalBob 9 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hi, I am in the process of setting up EMBY Theater to replace EMC. I have an large number of ripped Music Concert DVD folders that I want to access (no I do not want to convert to MKV as the DVD menu structure access to concerts, interviews and additional content ad-hoc is preferred for myself and family). I only want to use an external player for the DVD Folder Rips (VIDEO_TS) Under External Player configuration, I can get everything working fine using "mpc-be64" as the external player with the external player enabled for "All Media Types", ie Video Files, Internet Streams, Blu-Ray, DVD and ISO. However, if just selecting Blu-ray, DVD and ISO, the External player is not evoked for my DVD Folder rips. These seem to only work with "Video Files" selected. I would expect that by just selecting DVD for the external player media type, that this would then evoke the external player for DVD folder rips (VIDEO_TS)? Have I misunderstood something? EMBY Server: v4.0.0.2 EMBY Theater: v3.0.6 mpc-be64: 1.5.3 (build 4167) beta Again, everything works fine with "All Media Types" or just "Video Files" selected, but I only want to evoke the external player for DVD folder rips?

cue1boy 3 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I have set this up as you have but when i try to play one of my dvd folders MPC-BE just opens at the main screen and nothing starts to play directly. How do you make it play the content you click to play in Emby ? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37065 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Why did you leave the command line arguments blank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cue1boy 3 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) I wouldn't have a clue what to put in there, Is there a list of arguments anywhere i can refer to, Thanks. Edited March 14, 2020 by cue1boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to research the command line arguments that mpc-be expects in order to launch a video file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalBob 9 Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 I use MBC-BE x64 to play DVD Rip folders from EMBY. The only command line argument I use is.... {path} My setup also uses Shark007 Codecs, so there are a couple of settings I change in MBC-BE to use the 'System Default' Video Renderer and ensure MBC-BE maximises the screen. I have also mapped some MBC-BE x64 commands to be able to control playback with a MCE remote, ie, select main DVD menu and Audio Track. This is done inside MBC-BE under 'View'... 'Options'. I would upload a MBC-BE registry settings file but can't see and upload attachment option in the chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
