Hi, this is my problem i have some Live stream that doesn't want to work with the XBMC player (livestreams plug-in) so i want to know if there is a way or a plug-in that let me use VLc or any other external player in XBMC
Thanks
Just so you know there is a forum for Live Streams and quite a few knowledgeable users that could put you on the right track.

And yes XBMC supports external video players if needed, search the forums and you'll find the threads for the needed modifications. Keep in mind that most video streams want you to get the video directly from their site... so they can inundate you with their advertisements and click throughs (that's how they get paid) and making work arounds for direct streaming is not in their cards.

You can use the guide in this thread to setup XBMC external player-
Working External Player Solution.
Hi there.
I use XBMC 11 Eden. The folloing works like a charm for me.
You can try this link.

or create a file called > playercorefactory.xml < and paste the following in it.
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="VLC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>/usr/bin/vlc</filename>
<args>"{1}" -f --play-and-exit</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="*.*" player="VLC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
Save the file in /home/[USER]/.xbmc/userdata
All media will be played fullscreen by VLC and after playback you will automatically return to XBMC.
