Sorry. I'll update the post so it's clear.Thanks! And do you have in your watch Kodi activity that the movie is played by the Microsoft XBMC device or one of the others? I don't think it makes a lot of difference, does it? RE: HOW TO - Kodi 2D - 3D - UHD (4k) HDR Guide Internal & External Players - brazen1 - 2018-08-09 These 'devices' I've listed are virtual remote control commands, nothing more. Look at them as a few different remotes all combined into one remote since you cherry picked commands from various remotes and assigned them to one master remote.... your Harmony. It would be wonderful if remote control commands from any remote worked for all players and all GUI's. Unfortunately, they don't and never will. So, we find commands that are suitable across all software and players and combine them into our 'super-duper remote' by combining certain key commands from all the remotes and then control EVERYTHING. Since all 'hard keys' do not match, I use 'soft keys' for the few strays and additional uncommon commands like those madVR offers. And, you get to label them. I've never actually counted how many different commands the single Harmony I use is doing but the amount allowed is more than sufficient. So to answer your question, there is no reason to display which command is assigned to which virtual device during playback.

So the only open issue is, that kodi now always opens any file in external player when once a medium was launched in external player (as a konwn issue). Is this issue alread known by the kodi devs? Is there a ticket? Now i can play UHD HDR and have the nice look and feeal of kodi thx a lot pOpY RE: HOW TO - Kodi 2D - 3D - UHD (4k) HDR Guide Internal & External Players - popy - 2018-08-09 (2018-08-09, 18:32)brazen1 Wrote: New LAV Filters released.Do you find a changelog of the nightly 0.72-3?

Here it is: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/14291 thx pOpY RE: HOW TO - Kodi 2D - 3D - UHD (4k) HDR Guide Internal & External Players - brazen1 - 2018-08-11 My experience with the PCF.xml using KODI v.18 was a little different. What ever player is used for first playback is going to be the player that is used for any subsequent playback(s) no matter what rules direct the PCF.xml to use a different one. I think you tested with just one external player and the default KODI VideoPlayer only and assumed KODI VideoPlayer takes precedence when the external player called should have. Perhaps it even works correctly when using just one external player? Testing using 5 different players, I concluded after playback using any of the 5, subsequent playbacks resulted in using the first player called and not incorrectly defaulting to just the KODI VideoPlayer. In other words, if I originally open a movie with DVDFAB Player (either by default because PCF.xml defined this player be used... or, by manually selecting DVDFAB Player using the 'play using' option) the movie plays with DVDFab Player as it should. When finished, I want to play a different movie and I want to use MPC-HC as the player. It doesn't matter if the PCF.xml is defined to use MPC-HC as the player for that matched rule movie or I manually select it. DVDFab incorrectly opens the new movie instead of MPC-HC which should have. Therein is the bug using KODI v.18 that is not present in any previous versions of KODI. So there is actually a couple of problems: PCF.xml rules are not being honored for subsequent playbacks nor is manual selection via the 'Play using' menu which lists any and all players. This bug is not caused by any of the players or any combination of what order they are used. Closing KODI and reopening again to 'erase last player used from memory cache' is not the answer imo. Correctly functioning 'play using' menu and obeying defined rules via PCF.xml is. Fwiw, this bug has been brought up quite a few times in the past year or so in different forums including this one by me when v.18 nightlies first hit the scene in anticipation of the new v.18 release. I don't think they went unnoticed but maybe they did. Your ticket for the issue might help. I hope so. And thanks for submitting it regardless.... RE: HOW TO - Kodi 2D - 3D - UHD (4k) HDR Guide Internal & External Players - popy - 2018-08-11 @brazen1 Thats exactly what my pull request fixes pOpY RE: HOW TO - Kodi 2D - 3D - UHD (4k) HDR Guide Internal & External Players - Warner306 - 2018-08-11 I don't know if his code sorts out the issue of which external player should be called, but it seems to address the issue of the last player being called incorrectly for subsequent playback. popy didn't just create a ticket, he provided code for a fix. He is a talented guy. It is one more issue that is probably holding back v18 in Alpha status, so they should be thankful if it works. The lead video player developer has to test and approve the code. They always care more about the lead platform and the internal video player over features like this, so these things can be put on the backburner. RE: HOW TO - Kodi 2D - 3D - UHD (4k) HDR Guide Internal & External Players - brazen1 - 2018-08-11 Hmmm? Didn't see any reference to the 'Play using' menu at all? In any event, I think afedchin is the only Windows dev now but I could be mistaken. Perhaps he can make some sense out of all of it if he chooses to tackle it? Also, if I'm not mistaken, most Windows efforts for the past years have been focused on Intel and its integrated GPU - Intel Graphics with little to no interest in dedicated video cards, their API's, or external players. From a developers point of view, it makes sense and I'd have to sort of agree with the logic no matter how limited the results will be. We should also remember external player adaption to KODI is a side benefit and not part of its core and problems and discussions are tolerated but not expected. If any attention is donated to improving our usage, consider it a favor and not necessarily a responsibility. That said, many rely on the PCF.xml and 'play using' menu for continued enhancement options Intel CPU software decoding simply doesn't offer. In these rapidly changing times, new offerings require more than a modern CPU is even capable of beyond poor to mediocre results. For these reasons, I believe some focus should be given to bugs such as the present PCF.xml and 'play using' menu for users that invested in GPU's rather than CPU's providing satisfaction for each and not introduce a decline in user base, extra expenditure, introduce a lower standard of acceptance, or force usage of older software prior to v.18. Before a release candidate is slated, now is the time to address it before it becomes too late. All this hinged on if a developer(s) has the ability or the enthusiasm to donate their time to it. Fingers crossed..... RE: HOW TO - Kodi 2D - 3D - UHD (4k) HDR Guide Internal & External Players - brazen1 - 2018-08-11 Ahhh, you submitted code waiting for acceptance. Now my dress is blown up! I'll be looking forward to installing a nightly again when you give us the thumbs up. Gracious of you and thanks immensely. RE: HOW TO - Kodi 2D - 3D - UHD (4k) HDR Guide Internal & External Players - tehax - 2018-08-11 I can't wait to use external player again in v18 for playing my 3D iso files but can't even more wait that Kodi will play native 3D frame packing (MVC) files. |
