PowerDVD plugin

[frankmcg]

More a plug-in question than a support one so thought I'd post here for a change!

Does anyone know how to create a custom menu option that would run PowerDVD? Currently I'm having to exit GBPVR and then have mapped a remote button to run PowerDVD but reckon it would be pretty neat to do it seamlessly within GBPVR!

Thanks

Sorry should have read the wiki on custom tasks first!

In case this helps anyone else I've created a custom task which calls a batch file containing the below. Idea being that it moves the mouse cursor off the screen (PDVD doesn't hide the cursor when changing chapters on a DVD which is pretty annoying) then calls PowerDVD itself.

That said, I still need to close GBPVR it seems as the PowerDVD window is hidden underneath. The option to hide GBPVR in the config screen doesn't seem to work, perhaps because I'm using FSE?

@echo off
cd c:\progs
nircmd.exe setcursor 1280 0
c:\Progra~1\cyberlink\PowerDVD\powerdvd.exe
exit

Works like a charm. Thank you!

For anyone else's benefit, I've amended my powerdvd.bat to:
@echo off
taskkill /F /IM "pvrx2.exe"
cd c:\progs
nircmd.exe setcursor 1280 0
c:\Progra~1\cyberlink\PowerDVD\powerdvd.exe
start c:\progra~1\devnz\gbpvr\pvrx2.exe
exit

This kills GB-PVR, moves the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen so it doesn't pop up while watching a DVD, then once you close PowerDVD restarts GB-PVR again.
