fresh Kodi install using external audio player restarts infinitely on close - jshepherdjr - 2018-02-17 Brand new kodi install. Using powerdvd for DVDs and audio CDs. DVD works as expected. When audio CD is clicked in Kodi it launches powerdvd as expected, but after close of powerdvd and kodi returns it launches powerdvd again. It will do this forever, I have to use task mgr to kill kodi then quit powerdvd. Here is my playercorefactory: <playercorefactory> <players> <player name="PowerDVD" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="true"> <filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD17\PowerDVD.exe</filename> <args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args> <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc> <hideconsole>false</hideconsole> <warpcursor>none</warpcursor> <playonestackitem>true</playonestackitem> </player> </players> <rules action="prepend"> <rule dvd="true" player="PowerDVD"/> <rule audio="true" player="PowerDVD"/> </rules> </playercorefactory> I'm using the default skin and haven't configured any settings. I've searched the kodi forum and found this issue with a video looping but that didn't apply to my situation. Here are my particulars: Kodi Kryton 17.6 Windows 7 sp1 64bit Estuary skin - everything default BTW...I'm using powerdvd for audio CDs so I can easily play a family photo slideshow during music playback for family gatherings. Kodi just doesn't seem to have that. This is the error from the debug Kodi log that I see for each repeated launch... 17:46:28.342 T:2564 WARNING: CActiveAE::ActiveAE::CActiveAE::StateMachine - signal: 0 from port: OutputControlPort not handled for state: 6 17:46:33.342 T:2752 ERROR: ActiveAE::ActiveAE::CActiveAE::Resume - failed to init 17:46:33.342 T:2752 FATAL: CExternalPlayer:rocess: Failed to restart AudioEngine after return from external player 17:46:33.342 T:2752 DEBUG: CApplication::OnPlayBackEnded: play state was 2, starting 0 17:46:33.342 T:2752 DEBUG: Thread ExternalPlayer 2752 terminating 17:46:33.342 T:2612 DEBUG: CAnnouncementManager - Announcement: OnStop from xbmc 17:46:33.342 T:2612 DEBUG: GOT ANNOUNCEMENT, type: 1, from xbmc, message OnStop 17:46:33.355 T:3736 DEBUG: CSaveFileStateJob:oWork - Saving file state for audio item cdda://local/01.cdda 17:46:33.357 T:3736 DEBUG: CSaveFileStateJob:oWork - Marking audio item cdda://local/01.cdda as listened 17:46:33.360 T:3736 DEBUG: Loading settings for cdda://local/02.cdda 17:46:33.361 T:3736 DEBUG: CPlayerCoreFactory::GetPlayers(cdda://local/02.cdda) 17:46:33.361 T:3736 DEBUG: CPlayerSelectionRule::GetPlayers: considering rule: un-named 17:46:33.361 T:3736 DEBUG: CPlayerSelectionRule::GetPlayers: matches rule: un-named 17:46:33.361 T:3736 DEBUG: CPlayerSelectionRule::GetPlayers: considering rule: un-named 17:46:33.361 T:3736 DEBUG: Previous line repeats 1 times. 17:46:33.361 T:3736 DEBUG: CPlayerSelectionRule::GetPlayers: matches rule: un-named 17:46:33.361 T:3736 DEBUG: CPlayerSelectionRule::GetPlayers: adding player: PowerDVD for rule: un-named Note: I am Xing out of powerDVD....I'll try quitting another method and check the debug RE: fresh Kodi install using external audio player restarts infinitely on close - DaveBlake - 2018-02-17 I have no ideas about using other player software to play music via Kodi control, didn't even know that was possible! Quote:BTW...I'm using powerdvd for audio CDs so I can easily play a family photo slideshow during music playback for family gatherings. Kodi just doesn't seem to have that. Actually, Kodi can play music while showing pictures. Start the music, then navigate to pictures and start the slide show. Music will keep playing as long as the picture show is just of still images, if it finds video and starts video playback then msuci stops and does not resume. My suggestion is build a music library and enjoy browsing and playing your music entirely with Kodi. RE: fresh Kodi install using external audio player restarts infinitely on close - jshepherdjr - 2018-02-18 I'll try that out ... still I'm sure I'm not the first to try external player for music Thanks for your reply! |
