Thanks for this. Works great for me. To bad I can’t put images to show instead of the titles. Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the name Daemon tools loader in WMC?

Control Center auto play settings pull down tabs for DVD does not have Media Center as an application option. It is in the video tab as an option. Do you know how I can get the DVD tabs to have Media Center as an application option?
Thanks

Thanks for the writeup, it stinks that this wasn’t a feature right out of the box (along with avi and every other useful codec support, which I had to hunt for).

However, this doesn’t work at all for me either with SP1 Vista Ultimate. The Daemon icon doesn’t even show up in WMC. I’ve been hearing good things about Windows 7 Media Center, if it’s no better than this I’m off to Linux.

Everything seemed fine up to step seven. I open Media Center and I see the Daemon Tools icon. I click the icon and can see the ISO’s. I click on the desired ISO and it says ‘mounting image’ but nothing ever happens. Any ideas?

Thanks

When I try to watch a DVD on my extender, it fails to start automatically. I then used the controller buttons in an effort to make it start. However, the DVD begins to play but on my computer instead, as Jon reported above!

I noticed that in DVD Library the virtual drive is listed as an HD DVD-ROM and not an ordinary DVD drive. In the AutoPlay of the Control Panel there is no provision to “Play DVD Movie using Windows Media Center” for an HD drive! I believe that is why the DVD does not start automatically when the ISO file is mounted in the virtual drive.

The “invalid application” error also comes up for me. How do I fix this?

I get the “invalid application” error as well. What is the fix for this? It shows up in Windows Media Center and everything looks ok..but it wont play.

I have this working fine, but when i use it with my extender of course it launches on my computer not the extender.

Is there a way to have the extender play it and not launch media center from my computer?

I did get it to work finally….half way. The daemon shows up on the screen but when I choose it, it says that it is an “invalid application” and it will not open it.
