Still need more clarification - when you say you have to choose Movie from the Home menu are you talking about selecting the Blu-Ray Device or selecting the Watch a Movie Activity?

If you're just talking about needing to send extra commands to the Blu-Ray player to get it to start playing you can add those the start of the Watch Movie activity. When you do the activity setup select the option "Yes, but I want to add more control....." and you can add the commands you need there.

If commands are being sent but not recognized by the Blu-Ray player or any other device try increasing the inter-device delay.

If it's something else please let us know.
