External player
#1
Hi,

I use an external video player for some features xbmc lacks and everything is fine.
I recently installed a video add-on (canal+) allowing to play audio/video. The stream is in the RTMP format with audio and mp4 video. I made the playercorefactory.xml modifications :

<players>
<player name="MPCHC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\MPCHC\mpchc.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
<player name="MPC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\mplayerc.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
<player name="VLC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>D:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe</filename>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule internetstream="true" player="VLC"/>
<rule filetypes="mkv" player="MPCHC"/>
<rule filetypes="avi" player="MPCHC"/>
<rule filetypes="m4v" player="MPCHC"/>
<rule filetypes="mp4" player="MPCHC"/>
<rule filetypes="m2ts" player="MPCHC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

to manage internetstream by VLC but I got the following error :
Quote:VLC cannot open « rtmp://vod-fms.canalplus.fr:1935/ondemand/videos/1209/LES_GUIGNOLS_QUOTIDIEN_120919_AUTO_17210_169_video_H.mp4 ». Check logs for details.

Does anybody use an external player to play stream and how did you manage it ?

Does nobody use an external player for videos and want to watch streaming feeds with it ?

Did you check the logs for details as recommended in the error message?

Try the following:
  1. Launch VLC from your desktop and select Tools > Messages and click the Clear button to delete any old messages.
  2. Exit VLC and then launch XBMC.
  3. Enable debug log (wiki)ging in XBMC and then play the stream. When you get the error, exit XBMC, locate your debug log (wiki) (xbmc.log) and review it to see if it tells you why it is unable to play the stream.
  4. Launch VLC from your desktop and select Tools > Messages to see why VLC itself didn't like your stream.

I did that and got what I already reported in my initial post :
"votre média d'entrée ne peut être ouvert:
VLC ne peut pas ouvrir « rtmp://vod-fms.canalplus.fr:1935/ondemand/videos/1301/LES_GUIGNOLS_QUOTIDIEN_130109_AUTO_18573_169_video_H.mp4 ». Vérifiez les messages pour plus de détails."

in english :
"your entry media couldn't be opened :
VLC can't open « rtmp://vod-fms.canalplus.fr:1935/ondemand/videos/1301/LES_GUIGNOLS_QUOTIDIEN_130109_AUTO_18573_169_video_H.mp4 ». Check messages for more details." (but there isn't any more messages than this one in VLC ... ?!?!?!?=

Xbmc log says :
