I am trying to figure out a way if when I insert a DVD or blu ray, have power dvd automatically start playing the disc. So far I have gotten as far as getting power dvd to start up and look at the drive but I am just presented with the BD/DVD Movie screen with the details of the movie PDVD downloads.

How do I get it to automatically start playing the disc? Also, I tried making a shortcut with the AUTOPLAY E:\ or AUTOPLAY F:\ arguments but it still wont start playing automatically. It will however point to the correct drive I designate after the autoplay argument but will not start playing it.

How can I rectify this?

Dedicated DVD/Blu Ray 3D HTPC
DVD/Blu Ray Encoder PC
Power DVD 13 Ultra
AMD A8 3870K APU w/ Radeon 6550D
ASUS F1A75-V EVO (MB)

@JustinA8HTPC

1) Open up PowerDVD 13

2) Click on the gear icon in the upper top right corner in POwerDVD 13. This opens up the settings screen.

3) Once your in the settings screen click on General. Then go to the bottom of that screen to (MORE Settings) and click that button.

4) This will open up the more settings screen. Now click on the File Association tab. It should be already highlighted.

Now check the box that reads (Play Automatically Upon Inserting Disk).

In addition, If you haven't done so already click on the File Associations button. This will bring up alll the audio and video file types to associate with PowerDVD 13. Check each box that you would like to make PowerDVD 13 the default program to open that type of audio and or video file type. Once your done click the Save button.

5) Once you have checked the (Play Automatically Upon Inserting Disk). box, and associated any file types you want POwerDVD 13 to open by default. Click the OK button which closes the More Settings Screen.

6) Now your back to the Settings Screen. Click the OK button again which will bring you back to PowerDVD 13 main screen and your done.

Any questions leave me a message. Hope this helps.
