XbmcExternalPlayerController0.03.rar
the advanced settings have to be set this way
XbmcExternalPlayerController.exe is the external player.Code:<externalplayer>
<filename>C:\XbmcExternalPlayerController.exe</filename>
<args></args>
<forceontop>false</forceontop>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>false</hidecursor>
</externalplayer>
If your launching it with an argument its launching the process instead of showing the settings window.
If your taking a look to your xbmc.log you should see executew32 c:\pathto\XbmcExternalPlayerController.exe "c:\pathto.iso"
Ravazul Wrote:Hi Guys,
i use MPC as my external player. Everything works fine so far.
But i can only play one Video. After i close MPC an switch back to XBMC i cant get another video to play.
Enter/Return/Select works for navigating trough xbmc but does not start another file.
I tried a few builds of xbmc including the some svn (atm XBMC-Rev21192).
My advancedsettings.xml
<advancedsettings>
<video>
<defaultplayer>externalplayer</defaultplayer>
</video>
<externalplayer>
<filename>C:\Program Files\Media Player Classic\mplayerc.exe</filename>
<args></args>
<forceontop>false</forceontop>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>false</hidecursor>
</externalplayer>
</advancedsettings>
Changing forceontop etc. does not change anything.
Its really frustrating to close and restart XBMC after every video
Please HELP!

You have nothing in the <args> settings, does this mean at the minute at the end of a film you're manually closing mpc-hc?
I have mine set as: <args>/fullscreen /close</args> which auto closes it when the films stops, you could try that maybe and see how you go on, because I've noticed if I have mpc-hc already open before I use xbmc the films wont play, so presumably your mpc-hc is staying open once the film has finished and then when you revert back to xbmc it's not playing another film because it's already open?

ps:You might have to add a page for playercorefactory.xml

@ashlar, let me know if you need a review or have any questions on the Babylon bits or the new playercorefactory stuff.
Possible rule:
the first 6 rule are boolean value(true or false)
-internetstream
-audio
-video
-dvd
-dvdfile
-dvdimage
the 4 next rule are string and your allowed to use regular expression too match the current
playing file.
-filetypes
ex: <rule filetypes="..i" player="externalplayer" />
**this rule would play every file which as the extension ending with "i"
"a.*" would play every file starting with a and so on
-protocols
this is related to zip rar stacked files url .......
-mimetypes
example:video/x-flv|video-flv|audio/aacp|application/sdp
-filename
the file name could be used like this filename=".*x264.*"
this will play every file containing x264
-player
the player name of the player
notes: you need to use the | for multiple value example: "avi|wmv"
you can also use filename="!(.*x264.*)" player="externalplayer" this is going to play every file with external player
exept the one with x264 in it

The news ticker accelerated as well with the same rythm and even the bouncing square in video calibration.
