The other is the odd requirement that both Video files and Internet Streams have to be selected for Live TV to be sent to the external player. One is its failure to play Live TV at all when the Video files option is selected without Internet streams being selected. However, I think there are two problems with what Theater is doing. So, the bottom line is that I have a working solution. When I try to play the Live TV, then Theater just spins forever.ģ) If the Video files option is selected and Internet Streams is selected, then all the videos and Live TV are sent to the external player, and MPC-HC plays them all properly, including Live TV.

The Blue-Ray, DVD and ISO media types are not pertinent to this issue.
The issue is with how the media type specifications for the external player are handled. I have tested all the scenarios several times. I will describe how it is working, and it is completely consistent is this. I did a lot more testing, and I have a conclusive answer as to what is going on, and I understand why it was so confusing to me. I modified my script so I would be sure whether it was being called or not and to show me the media path passed by Theater. Thanks and sorry for the earlier lack of precision. If it would play in full screen without the intervening script, that would be fine too. Perhaps it somehow causes Theater to act slightly differently when playing live TV. But apparently, having the script between Theater and MPC-HC prevents live TV from working properly. It does nothing but invoke MPC-HC in full screen mode and wait for it to finish before exiting back to Theater. Selecting it just causes the program to spin forever. In this mode all videos play perfectly and in full screen mode. I plug the Autoit script name into the external player field and select video files only. To get around this, I wrote a very small Autoit script that calls MPC-HC, passes the video file name, makes sure its screen is maximized and then waits for it to finish before exiting to Theater.
So, can you offer a solution to this? MPC-HC is set to play full screen always. It always still shows the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and has the image slightly smaller than the screen. First of all, if I plug MPC-HC in as the external player for video directly, then Theater will play both other video and live TV properly, except than I cannot get it to play full screen on my TV. Sorry, it had been a while since I worked on this, and I am getting back to it. OK, I did some more experimentation, and I should be more precise in describing the situation.
