| | Posted: | | | | Question: If I have both a CX777 via RS232 and a CX875 via Ir, then what should the "Default Changer" in Set Up be? I have tried the CX777 as defautl & also "checked" the "Call USBIRT.bat" box. I have also tried CX860 as default. Is there something in the coding of LoadDVD that is looking for a specific named file to call the Ir codes? With the RS232.bat it is easy to see, it is the CX777.exe file. So, since UUTX is the "suggested program" what am I missing to call it up? |

No need to pay attention to me then. Good luck.
I would love a response from you Mediadog - I just was just trying to honor the "no support" (I believe) for Ir transmission from within LoadDVD. If you have any input or suggestions, I am all ears, and very appreaciative. On the other hand, if you walk away from these questions - then somebody out there - anybody, please help. This should be easy, but I have something wrong somewhere.
Best Regards I'm not walking away, I just can't continue on this endless trail. I'm not convinced that your questions are resulting from a true effort to figure it out, and by using the available information. I truly think some of your questions have already been addresed in this thread. I know it is convenient to just fire off a bunch of questions as you think of them, but have some respect ... | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | I can get a response with the USB-UIRT device (the led flashes) when "Set Up" is set to cx995 and coded properly. I do not get a response - led flash - if "Set Up" is coded to cx860, and coded properly in the profile. I have a model CX875 - I was hoping the included UIRT codes would be the same (hoped, but doubted) but can't check out the included cx860 with the "glitch" I presently have.
Mediadogg, any comments, suggestions, etc.
Of course, my real problem will be sending the proper codes for my CX875. Would it be possible to include these in LoadDVD or, possibly replace a set already included (in case you have some kind of limitation in program)? I can send you the codes I obtained from the UUTX program suggested in earlier threads.
Respectfully Submitted With Many Many Attempts and Hours of . . . well you wouldn't believe. |

It hasn't been clear that's what you wanted / needed. I think you have my email address. If not, send me a PM. I also need the sequence and timings that work for you. My first CX995 script came from a guy who had several of them and had perfected the timings. | | | Thanks for your support.

Need to see if I can get those .txt files back from the old computer. It doesn't like me right now.  Hey buddy, how did you make out? If you are still having problems loading LoadDVD, let me know. @abierce512 - any better luck with the latest version? Let me know. | | | Thanks for your support.

Hey buddy, how did you make out? If you are still having problems loading LoadDVD, let me know.
Okay. I still had some time to test something. And the solution to my problem was very, very simple. I had the changer on a non-powered usb-hub (I always seem to lose those power-supplies). Now that I connected the first changer directly to the computer both worked fine. And now I'm going to test the PRO version (nah, better after a few hours sleep). | | | | Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer. |

 File Associations Smackdown - LoadDVD V1.56
Ok, I took a fresh stab at the file associations issues, and I think I have finally nailed it. 
Anyway, after I verify that the filepath is valid, I use the MS Verbs "play", "open", "prevew", "NULL" and "openas" in succession to try and execute whatever program that has been associated with the file. Only if all of those fail, do I give up, or if the file is not found. The verb "openas" actually presents a menu to choose a program if there is no association. This solved a couple of my problems. I hope that it solves yours.
For example, on one of my systems, I associate the Slysoft Virtual Clonedrive mount process for an ISO file. Then I have PowerDVD 9 set up in the Vista AutoPlay configuration for when a new DVD is mounted in a drive. When I click the loadDVD icon, PowerDVD now plays the ISO (as a mounted DVD in the virtual drive). On my other system, ISOs are associated with vlc.exe. When I click the icon, vlc player comes up and plays the file as expected. On both systems, the filepath is a network share.
So, I apologize to all of you who have suffered as a result of this issue, and to those who have resorted to using the more complicated PlayFromDisk.bat. If you are using PlayFromDIsk.bat only for the purpose of resolving file associations issues, I encourage you to try V1.56. Test it by changing "play" to "file" (no quotes of course) in the location field and see what happens (assuming you have filepaths in the Notes field). If it works for you, then you now have the option of eliminating the PlayFromDisk.bat from your scenario.
Please report any cases of file associations not working - only if you can right click on the file in windows explorer and it works - then I claim loadDVD will now work the same way  . I just installed maybe a week ago and it works great at opening files using the "file" in the location field as you described and just for testing I have my VOB files set to open from my HD using Windows Media Player. It opens and plays as expected, but I get an error message in DVD Profiler that it cannot be played because there is no program associated with this file - even though it's playing any ideas? (wonderful plugin by the way) |

The error message must be coming from one of the verbs and then I move on to the next one that apparently worked. WMP doesn't play VOBs for me. Windows file associations is a mysterious art. We all have problems with it. If you have VLC player, I would switch the .VOB association to that one. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | sorry if this has been covered before:
I am trying to launch a file on my hard drive. I have the correct syntax in the notes field. I get a message saying "disk failed to eject". I am trying to launch a ripped ts file that is asociated with powerdvd 9. if i double click the file in windows (7), it launches the player and starts the movie. I have left the location and slot fields blank.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
I also tried editing the batch file, and adding play/s in location field, no luck | | | | Last edited: by Search1990 |

I suggest starting over clean and using one of the cookbook receipes referenced by links given at the beginning of this thread - second or third post, I beleive. They were either developed by me or other users and have been tested by others. I don't want to repeat all the details here, but very briefly: File - opens the filepath from Notes Play - calls the batch script, which can use Notes info plus other other info and do anything it wants to do | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | Mediadogg,
Thanks so much for the quick reply!
I'm not sure I understand the process: when you say "file-opens the filepath from notes", what exactly does that mean (I'm sure this is a dumb question). What am I supposed to put in the location field? (I've copied the actual post below).
In the notes fiield, I am placing the path to the file, with the correct syntax [filepath]path to file that is to be opened[/filepath]
(3) "Open" of a file located anywhere in the network environment. This is like "double click" on a file under Windows Explorer. The result of the open depends on the nature of the file and the type of file association that has been set up by you, windows or other applications.
Location: file
Slot: (not used)
Notes: [filepath]path to file that is to be opened[/filepath] - this sequence will be searched for and parsed anywhere in the notes field; beginning, middle or end.
Again, thanks so much for your help... |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm not trying to be rude, but what was the purpose of copying my instructions into your post? I mean, I wrote them. I would have preferred if you had simply read them. You ask what to put in the location field and then copied and pasted the answer. I don't get it. (And on top of that, just a couple of paragraphs down from what you copied and pasted, is an explicit example of what you are doing "Advanced Usage Example" has an example for several possibilities, including yours. Just a bit of patience in using the information I spent so many hours preparing for you ... and you will be successful.) | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | Please accept my apology. I certainly didn't mean to be insulting. I will go back and read the instructions again. I copied them because I didn't understand them, which is obviously my fault...
Thanks again for the quick replies... |

| | Posted: | | | | Just wanted to let you know that after updating to v1.60 several weeks ago I have not experienced a single issue with closing Profiler. Great work !! As you may recall, I used to get frequent errors that required force closing of Profiler whenever LoadDVD was enabled, especially if I'd made changes to the database (which are fairly frequent, as I'm continually adding to my collection). But those are history now  |
