Open Beamer to play movies through XBMC - windshear - 2013-08-30 Hi all, I would like to know if it's possible to use XBMC as an interface and when you click the video it plays through other app, like BEAMER (streams movie files to Apple TV)? I've tried to add the source through playercorefactory.xml but with no luck... Anyone can help? Thanks! J. Open Beamer to play movies through XBMC - sphere - 2013-08-30 You should be able to achive this via http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=External_players RE: Open Beamer to play movies through XBMC - windshear - 2013-09-07 Thanks! I got it to work! Other thing that I would like to know if it's possible is to have an "Open With..." option before the player starts. So that I can easily change between the default player and Beamer. Is this possible? Thanks!!

RE: Open Beamer to play movies through XBMC - mklara - 2014-02-18 I managed to do it. It plays all files through Beamer in this setup, although streaming files doesn't work. <playercorefactory> <players> <player name="Beamers" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> <filename>/Applications/Beamer.app/Contents/MacOS/Beamer</filename> <args>"{1}" -f --video-on-top</args> <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> <hideconsole>false</hideconsole> <warpcursor>none</warpcursor> </player> </players> <rules action="prepend"> <rule filetypes=".*" player="Beamers"/> </rules> </playercorefactory> RE: Open Beamer to play movies through XBMC - jgfrugone - 2015-01-20 Hei I have just followed all this thread without success. I am having a macbookproc with Yosemite (10.10.1), place a new playercorefactory.xml file under Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/. I have also Beamer installed and working as normal. When I startup XBMC, I can see the option "Play with" in the context menu, it actually starts up Beamer but it does not stream anything to my Apple TV3. When I go back to XBMC, I can see that the counter of the movie is just 1 sec. Can anyone please advise what I am missing. It will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
