Hey,

is it possible to start a stream/file from within python without caching?

Regards
VDRfan

use dvdplayer core if the media is supportedf by dvd player and this is on the xbox.

xbmc.Player(xbmc.PLAYER_CORE_DVDPLAYER)

if this is a local file and mplayer you can use nocache=1 in a .conf file named like this.

movie name.mov
movie name.mov.conf

I've forgot to mention that i am using the linux port, so there's no mplayer i could use.

I am trying to open a HTTP Stream from my local VDR, which is actually on the same box but it only supports local connections via a pipe which the dvdplayer cant handle.
The main problem is the libcurl debug connection (easy_aquire) which stops responding after running into a timeout after 5000 milliseconds. Then the "real?" DVDPlayer starts to open the given location (CPlayerCoreFactor::GetPlayers(http://192.168.0.1:37890)) and starts caching, which isnt needed for replaying tv live streams ..

Any other hints or suggestions ?

Does this .conf file work also with .strm files? aqnd Can i tell in .conf what player to use.

I'm streaming liveTV channels from DreamBox and DVD player is needed to get subs to work.

dvdplayer does not support .conf files. I do not know how to turn caching off for dvdplayer on linux.

I thought there was talk about distinguishing between a local address and an internet, but elupus is best to ask on that.
