Will zoomplayer play DVDs from an external DVD changer, such as the Sony875 300 disc megachanger?

Wow, I haven't got a clue really... it depends how this device displays the DVD Drive to the system. I want to say ZP probably supports this, but can't for sure.

No it wont.

The 875p is a regular DVD player that connects using component or Y/C to a display.

Now, if you use a capture card like Holo3d and a front end like Main lobby you will be able to get results similar to ZP.


I personally use a Powerfile C200 200 disc DVD changer with zoomplayer.

With this solution, are you able to launch any DVD from the command line, or do you have to open an application, select a PowerFile position to load the DVD, then start ZP?


Thanks,

Zak,

Right now, I load a DVD into one of the 2 drives with Powerfile shell application and then launch ZP.

However, I am in the process of changing over to DTP which allows for full automation of DVD selection and playback. However, this entails changing playback software from ZP to TT.
