[Resolved] PowerDVD Auto Launch

Post by RKEP » Fri Jan 17, 2020 9:21 am

Hi

I am having an issue with CMC taking a long time to launch PowerDVD with a slide show movie converted to bluray ISO I made. It is taking over a minute where a movie is only seconds. I tried it on windows autoplay and it launches straight away. So I don't no why CMC is taking so long.

If this is something that cannot be fixed, can we have the option in settings to mount the ISO but not auto launch with any player (Take No Action). I can set windows to autoplay and this is responding very quickly?

Thanks

Best Regards

Richard

Most likely it is the RedFox enhancements. Try disabling them if you don't use foxy.

The Red Fox Enhancements monitor the mounting progress by looking for (and waiting on) the presence of certain files created by foxy once mounting is completed. If you don't use foxy, then this enhancement results in a 1+ minute delay in playback before the timeout hits and CMC finally moves on.

Your scenario is unusual in that you have a special home-made ISO that apparently isn't processed the same way by foxy, and the monitored files are not created so you get the same 1+ minute delay.

You may find that starting playback of regular ISO's, especially those ripped with protection left in place, is problematic without the enhancement enabled. This issue typically looks like playback starting, then stopping, then starting again, sometimes multiple times, because foxy is reprocessing and remounting the disc multiple times. The enhancement waits for the "all done" signal which is the presence of certain files, thereby eliminating this annoying behavior. Without the enhancement enabled, CMC "jumps the gun" and starts playback after the initial ISO mount but before foxy is done processing and remounting.

Unfortunately, I don't see a way to make this work automatically for both types of discs, so it is up to you to enable or disable the red fox enhancements as you see fit.
