Win HOW TO - Launch MPC-HC/MPC-BE with madVR as an External Player
#16
Found this snippet in the other thread

<rules action="prepend">
<rule name="streams" protocols="daap|rtv|rtsp|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|rtsp|mms|rtp|pvr" player="DVDPlayer"/>
<rule filename=".*." player="MPC-HC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Works like a charm! Now all streaming protocols including livetv correctly use DVDPlayer, and all my library files play to MPC-HC. It's pretty cool of you to put this guide together man. If this was around when I was switching to XBMC it would have saved me a lot of time.

I would like to add also that while sharpen complex 2 looks pretty good, lumasharpen is far superior. I can't notice much difference on the bedroom plasma, but on my living room projector lumasharpen is indispensable. I don't know how to upload attachments to this forum, but a quick google search will find you what you need.

I have a copy of lumasharpen to share, but I don't use shaders:

Save the following as an .hlsl file and move to the shaders folder in MPC-HC. You might also be able to load it from the Shaders section. I find the effect too strong to the point it creates artifacts, but I'm sure that could be adjusted.

Just wanted to update this doesn't actually work, because it causes my music files to open in mpc-hc. Changing the line that says <rule filename=".*." player="MPC-HC"/> into a rule filetypes and listing the movie types you want works like a charm however.

Hi and thanks for this guide!!

I have one problem, it looks like when i starting a movie in Kodi it starts mpc-hc but mpc-hc can not rendering the file, this means that mpc-hc aint loading the filters...

And if i start mpc-hc manual and starting the same movie, mpc-hc starts the filters (filters get loaded in system-tray) and the movie works flawless.

What can i do to solve this? Where do i find mpc-hc log files?

Kodi debug log can be found: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=384580

the only thing i can see that gives me an error is this line "CAESinkWASAPI::EnumerateDevicesEx: data format "AE_FMT_AAC" on device "AMD HDMI Output (AMD High Definition Audio Device)" seems to be not supported."

But that error looks weird cause both xbmc and mpc-hc plays the movie correct when loaded either in xbmc or mpc-hc standalone.

Many thanks again for a superb HOW-TO! i just wished that it worked for me haha Wink

I think your problem is too technical for me to solve, but I can offer a couple of troubleshooting tips.
  • Have you tried disabling "fullscreen exclusive mode" in madVR under "general settings?" That's the first place I'd look.
  • If it is your audio device, try using a different audio renderer such as ReClock.
  • The only other suggestion would be to try MPC-BE instead. The two players seem to interact differently with Kodi and MPC-BE can be used without having LAV Filters installed.
  • Also, I'd recheck my playercorefactory.xml to make sure there are no mistakes in there.
I assume you are getting a black screen. I haven't encountered that before.

Brilliant guide Warner, just a couple of things I cant get sorted out

1. When I stop the movie it doesn't return to Kodi interface I after exit Mpc-hc manually (right click exit or Alt-X)
2.Some of my movies are playing how they used to using Kodi's player but with Mpc-hc some are playing in a window mode (like an original size)

Hope this makes sense, any ideas? cheers

1. Stop and Exit must be the same command. That way when you stop the movie, MPC-HC should close automatically. In the case of the example keymap, that key is X. Make sure the command you use for Stop and Exit is not repeated elsewhere in the keymap. The only place X should appear is under the commands "Stop" and "Exit." If it is repeated elsewhere, the command will not be read correctly. It might also be that your remote does not recognize keyboard commands. In this case, Stop and Exit should be controlled by the command Media_Stop instead. I placed X and Media_Stop under both Stop and Exit in the beginning to be certain this command was recognized. Lastly, I am sure there is a checkbox in MPC-HC settings regarding the behavior of the player when stopped. I don't think this checkbox matters if you have a key to exit the player, but check its setting, regardless.

2. Having videos launch in windowed mode has happened to me. As I mention in the Tips section of the keymap, the video size can be altered in MPC-HC in many ways. During playback, right-click and navigate to "Video Frame." This setting should be set to "Touch Window from Inside."

Both of your issues have been encountered before, so I have some faith they can be easily fixed.

Let me know if you get it working!

Great tutorial and I've used it to set up MPC-HC successfully. Had a small issue with stopping and exiting but explanations above worked.

The one thing I can't get around though is the "play the next file automatically". I need this set as the kids watch their TV and want one show to roll into the next. That is fine and MPC-HC does that. The only problem is if I manually stop a show, KODI cannot differentiate between a show being stopped (should return to KODI screen) and coming to a stop naturally when a show ends (should load next file). Consequently if I press stop on the remote, KODI loads the next file.

Is there any way around this? Is it possible to somehow catch the stop command and feed it to KODI?

I was not able to replicate this issue. In fact, I had the opposite problem; I couldn't get Kodi to play the next file automatically. However, there is a line you can add to playercorefactory that is supposed to address this issue.

I had the following items checked in MPC-HC:

Settings: Playback

Play 1 time(s)
Play next file in the folder

Settings: Tweaks

Open next/previous in folder on "Skip back/forward" when there is only one item in playlist.

playercorefactory.xml

You would have to test this to determine if it works for you.

Hello to all guys, I have a request of you:
Kodi use as a front end and JRiver as a player, I have a GPU Sapphire r9 270X OC, but when I use JRiver only, I can push a lot of madVR, because I have a function that I Kodi absorbs resources, if you launch a film by Kodi, I will JRiver opens without problems, but with Kodi in the background I can not go beyond JINC 3 taps for Chroma, otherwise I have a rendering of more than 41 ms.Confused

It is possible to put on stand-by Kodi because I do not absorb resources from the GPU when JRiver is in motion and when I spend JRiver, automatically wakes Kodi?

Sorry for my English, but I write with the Google translator.Blush

Thanks very much in advance.Nod

I don't think JRiver is meant to be used as an external player. If performance is your concern, I would use MPC-BE or MPC-HC instead. You will likely get even better performance with madVR but still be able to run Kodi as the frontend. I believe madVR was originally designed to work with MPC-HC before other players, but I could be wrong.

The fact that JRiver works at all as an external player is unexpected. JRiver Media Center is not likely designed to be used this way.

Thanks for the answer, but instead of using JRiver MHC in JRiver because there is a whole wide world of parameters for audio, including a parametric equalizer and a convoluttore DRC to put under all the audio system.

That's why I tried to put on stand-by Kodi when JRiver is working.

I understand. I don't know how get around the fact it isn't working for you. Kodi is very limited in what it can do with external players.

You could try adjusting the following parameters in playercorefactory.xml that control the visibility of Kodi when an external player is launched:

<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
