Won't start movies

[MarkBarbieri]

I installed XLobby. I installed TheaterTek (2.5). I also have dormant installs of ZoomPlayer and Cyberlink PowerDVD on the machine.

I set up a file type for the extensions iso,, and avi. I updated the path to Theatertek for that file extension. I set the parameters to "/AP 2 %playlist%". I enabled it and disabled all of the other file types. I added a Start Event and pointed it to the Skin|Movies|Play Movie event.

Theatertek is working just fine on the computer. I can watch any movie on the network just by double-clicking on the VIDEO_TS.IFO file.

When I try to launch a ripped DVD using XLobby, it takes me to the built-in media player rather than Theatertek and it doesn't play anything. When I try to launch an AVI file in the same movie database, it still doesn't open Theatertek, but it does play with the XLobby video player.

Any ideas on how I can get it to launch TheaterTek to play my movies?

I discovered the solution. The event trigger is not the "Movies->Play Movie" event. It is the "Movies->Play Movie New" event. That assumes that you want to use the internal player. If you swap the commands between the two, it will work. It would probably be cleaner to re-assign the events, but I couldn't figure out how to do that.
