I have tried that but it doesnt work for me. when you get some time can you post a screen shot of how you have it and your command lines. thanks I can probably PM my config file to you, but will not be till Sunday. Perhaps someone maybe able to post a solution for you before then. - tiben20 - 2009-08-28 willcmuk Wrote:Can someone help me out have svn 22451 I had external player working with advancedsettings.xml method but then stopped working, presume because using the latest svn? anyway followed the wiki heres what i've done (using vista 32bit):at line 3 you forgot a space it should be <player name not <playername - willcmuk - 2009-08-28 tiben20 Wrote:at line 3 Thanks for that funny how you never notice the easy mistakes! So done that and now I've got the play using back in the context menu but how do I get it to play automatically rather than having to select it in the menu? IGNORE IVE SORTED USING THE RULES THANKS FOR YOUR HELP - btwiggles2 - 2009-08-28 joesmokey Wrote:I'm new to XBMC and I'm having trouble setting this up properly. I have the same exact setup currently. Windows 7 RTM x64 and I'm also using MPC-HC 64 bit. Try moving your playercorefactory.xml file over to C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Roaming\XBMC I mistakenly wrote my xml file in wordpad which added some erroneous info to the front of the file. Stick with notepad. I'd verify that your filename is also correct, I had a small error in mine that was preventing mine from working. Lastly, If you look at the log file in the C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\XBMC directory, you might be able to figure out where things are going wrong. - h3llsp4wn - 2009-08-28 Just some comments on the changes from 22423 and befor. For me they lead to stuttering playback in zoomplayer and in mpc. I guess it´s related to the changes as xbmc is somehow interrupting the playback by toggeling between zero and 1% of cpu usage in the background. Before the change it staid at zero. I went back to an older xbmc compile (r22051) and there is no stuttering in external players. Any else experiencing this behaviour? H3ll - zoing - 2009-08-28 I have an weird problem with the the new svn releases (SVN22451) with the new external player patch. When I play an file with MPC-HC, this is my external player, I have the strange phenomenon that the playback starts and then the screen flashes between the video and the XBMC. It seems as someone switches with ALT-TAB between the MPC-HC and XBMC. I have changed settings in the playercorefactory and MPC-HC with no luck. When I go back to SVN 24410 all works perfectly. - goose61282 - 2009-08-29 goose61282 Wrote:I've had this problem since external player was started. (I believe in the jester build). I just thought I'd check to see if this was something someone managed to solve. As suggested I updated to the latest nightly and this served the purpose of breaking it more. Now the windows still appears behind xbmc, but a message pops up telling me that a video is playing in the external player. And now eventghost will no longer terminate the xbmc window. I've tried <forceontop/> and <hidexbmc/> neither of which solved the problem. Is there a log file I can get information from somewhere that can help solve this problem? As of now xbmc is unusable for me. - torva - 2009-08-30 I wold like to have my external player as my second hand chosen player, and have the original xbmc player (dvdplayer) as the defult. What shuld i change in my commands in playercore.xml? Code: <playercorefactory> - moby-uk - 2009-08-30 h3llsp4wn Wrote:Just some comments on the changes from 22423 and befor.

I went back to an older xbmc compile (r22051) and there is no stuttering in external players. hi H3ll, is this on very low-spec hardware, perhaps low-memory? There have been some recent changes but 0-1% is very little CPU-time; my atom-powered eee can do 720p playback in MPC-HC as XBMC's extplayer without stuttering. - moby-uk - 2009-08-30 zoing Wrote:I have an weird problem with the the new svn releases (SVN22451) with the new external player patch.

I think maybe the workaround for Intel's Vsync being broken is interfering here. @goose61282 instructions for generating a debug log are here - moby-uk - 2009-08-30 torva Wrote:I wold like to have my external player as my second hand chosen player, and have the original xbmc player (dvdplayer) as the defult. What shuld i change in my commands in playercore.xml? Take out the rules, you only need to add them to change the default player, simply defining the player with video="true", as you've done, will make it appear in the Play using... menu for video - h3llsp4wn - 2009-08-30 Hi moby, no it´s no low spec from my point of view, 2GB ram and 2x 2.6Ghz AMD. When monitoring cpu usage I can´t see any peek at about 90 percent of cpu usage so I guess here is everything fine, but it´s stuttering as something is happening in the background (everytime it hits those 1% thing). I´m on windows xp for now - so maybe it has something to do with it ... I checked some 720p files and it seems to be less stuttering here - seems it has something to do with cpu power - but except planet earth I have no playback issues at 1080p without xbmc in the background or with xbmc in the back running an older version. If you have any further questions - I´ll do my best ... h3ll - zoing - 2009-08-30 moby-uk Wrote:Do you have an Intel GPU by any chance?

I can post a debug log when its necessary. - moby-uk - 2009-08-30 zoing Wrote:Hi moby-uk, a debug log would be handy please. - torva - 2009-08-30 moby-uk Wrote:Take out the rules, you only need to add them to change the default player, simply defining the player with video="true", as you've done, will make it appear in the Play using... menu for video Nice, worked great, thanx! |
