Hey guys!

So, I finally configured my XBMC to allow playing videos with 2 external players: SMPlayer (a front-end of mplayer, which I did not succeed in configuring) and VLC.

Here is my playercorefactory.xml for reference:

Code:
<playercorefactory>

  <players>

    <player name="SMPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">

      <filename>/usr/bin/smplayer</filename>

      <args>-fullscreen -pos 0 0 -close-at-end</args>

    </player>

    <player name="VLC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">

      <filename>/usr/bin/vlc</filename>

      <args>--volume 512 --fullscreen --play-and-exit</args>

    </player>

  </players>

</playercorefactory>

The only problem remaining is: how do I actually control the player? I mean, how do I stop/pause/quit... The usual controls on my remote won't work. Is there a way I can solve this? Or any other work-around?

Thanks!

P.S. I am running Dharma Beta 2 at the moment.

Once you have launched an external player your no longer using XBMC your using the external player so you need to configure your remote to work with each player so whatever key presses your remote sends when pressing stop, play, pause, etc, you need to add in each player

Just note that stop on your remote you should configure to exit in the player then it will return you to XBMC
