can't get zoomplayer to work with SageMC

[chrishallowell]

I can't get Zoomplayer to load correctly when selecting a My Video (Ripped DVD (multiple VOBs - main movie only).

My Menu -> Settings -> SageMC -> External Programs -> External DVD Player -> enabled

My Menu -> Settings -> SageMC -> External Programs -> External Media Player -> enabled

Edited dvd_player.cmd and media_player.cmd
"C:\Program Files\Zoom Player\zplayer.exe" %1

When I select an item in the My Video section, a blank window pops up and then disappears in about 1 second. Nothing else happens...

This works from the command line:
"C:\Program Files\Zoom Player\zplayer.exe" /DVD "E:\DVD\Kids\Curious George\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO"

How can I tell what SageMC is using for %1?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

this is the command line I have in dvd_player.cmd, and it works fine for me:

"D:\Video\Zoom Player\zplayer.exe" /F /Q %1

This doesn't work. It opens up a black screen for about half a second and then it closes. I'm using a trial version of ZoomPlayer Pro.

Edit: I noticed EventGhost had stuff for Zoom Player so I disabled/closed that program but still the same thing happens.

I've been searching high and low for how to have "Play DVD" menu item launch an external command for playing. This is the first reference I see about needing a "dvd_player.cmd". So I created one with the right command, but I too just go to a black screen briefly before it returns. Is it documented anywhere what's supposed to be configured to launch a dvd player?

Ah ha, found the answer here

dvd_player.cmd goes in SageTV\SageTV\STVs\SageTV3\SageMCE\ folder.
