konfoo Wrote:Thanks Jester. There are some modifications still pending (the player needs to be renamed to External Player, and the extplayer patch needs to be merged in and tested amongst other things).
I can have a stab at it, where can I find the extplayer patch?

(Thank you!)

I've renamed the patch to external player, as per request to get it into the SVN
I'm testing the patch now on the latest SVN
will do a test build later, and attach the new patch to the ticket.
remains the merge with this extplayer patch (where is it?)

Jester, have you managed to look at the LockSetForegroundWindow thing Wiso mentioned?

Going to tackle that tonight as well as the other stuff. The ifdef linux needs the extplayer patch since it seems more reliable than just shelling out a process. OSX will have to do as is for the time being until I get svn setup on my OSX testbox.

Nice one, btw i've added the renamed patch to the ticket, so maybe when your done with this, you might want to update the first post as the names in the advancedsettings part have changed.

Patch updated for SVN 16477, added to the ticket

A few posts back Ashlar asked if anyone is actually having success setting LaunchPlayer as the default. I want to just say, that I am. Its working.
However, here's my problem:
MPC loads, but not in fullscreen, despite my /fullscreen arg in the xml.
(I have also go into MPC's options and put a tick in "launch player in fullscreen", which dosen't remedy the problem).
My final issue is frustrating also, in MPC i've selected "after playback... close". But MPC just completely fails to remember I've ticked this, and always reverts to "after playback... do nothing".
I just want MPC to open in fullscreen, and close itself after playback.
My MPC is version 6.4.9.0 (came with Combined Community Codec Pack CCCP)).
I also have these exact same problems using the very latest version of MPC HC.
I've no idea what's going wrong.
Any ideas?

For me, instead, even when I select "Play using..." I see:
DVDPlayer (default)
Launchplayer

Ashlar, looking at the numbers, how many thousands of views this thread gets, I would think I'm not the only one who has it working by default.
My biggest frustration is just MPC now being a sod and not remembering its own damn settings. Neither MPC or MPC-HC are remembering to exit after playback. I've asked over at CCCP forums but ppl just suggest saving the settings to INI. Which I've done, and to no success. --(there is nowhere in the INI that makes reference to 'exit after playback' or anything similar).
So I have noooo idea what's going on.
If I wanted to just set these things in advancedsettings.xml would it just be like this?:
/play /fullscreen /close
(MPC says you need to use "/play" in order for "/close" to work).
thanks.

You should configure MPC to *not* save it's settings to a .ini file. The problem here is that when it is launched it is launched in the XBMC context and it will look for it's ini file in the wrong location, hence it fires off with the defaults and never with the settings you saved.

Did WiSo indication help in any way?
