- Zodler - 2010-12-13 That doesn't help very much. Yes I know that in order to exit a program, you kill the process, but how? The question is simple, how to kill XBMC after launching an external player? - vandelay - 2010-12-13 Okay...here's a question... Is there a set of arguments or really any way to setup playercorefactory to use a specific player if 2 or more subtitle files are present in the folder? - Jay_M - 2011-01-05 I am trying to start TMT3 when a Bluray disc is in the bluray drive. I have followed the instructions here and here minus the reclock portion. It opens TMT3, however TMT3 gives an error dialog "The disc cannot be played". If I then select the Bluray drive from within TMT3 the disc will play, I can exit and return to XBMC without issues. This is the relevant portion of my log Code: 10:56:11 T:2596 M:1176752128 NOTICE: ExternalPlayer Filename: C:\Program Files\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 3\uDTStart.exe The issue is XBMC always attaches the "bd://1" to the executable call. I have tried several combinations in the <args> tags but I do not know how to remove the "bd://1" My playercorefactory.xml Code: <playercorefactory> I am running dharma 10.0 on Windows 7 32bit. Thanks for your help. UPDATE -------------------------- I have gotten the external player to work. I changed my playercorefactory to: Code: <player name="TMTMCEPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> in the <args> tag I added the "{2}" before d:\ Now my logfile looks like Code: 15:25:40 T:1092 M:1242763264 NOTICE: ExternalPlayer Filename: C:\Program Files\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 3\uDTStart.exe I haven't seen the playercorefactory setup like this anywhere in the forums, so I am not sure if it is correct. Let me know why I had to make this modification to make it work. Maybe I found a bug, or have something configured wrong. - eskro - 2011-01-11 Hi guys! I've been able to set MPC-HC as External Player But, when i select a movie to watch, XBMC minimizes and then MPC-HC launches and the movie starts playing... My question is, is there a way to prevent/stop XBMC from minimizing?? i just want it to stay where it is....... i dont like to see my desktop even if its for a second thanks!!! - Jay_M - 2011-01-14 In playercorefactory.xml set <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc> - tco42 - 2011-01-14 Is there also a python command to tell xbmc to hide? I have exactly the same problem but not with an external player but with programs that are started by advanced launcher. - eskro - 2011-01-14 was already set false.... - stealth82 - 2011-01-15 eskro Wrote:was already set false....Same problem here... - stealth82 - 2011-01-15 Jay_M Wrote:I haven't seen the playercorefactory setup like this anywhere in the forums, so I am not sure if it is correct.

To me it's a bug. - Flotto85 - 2011-01-16 Hi all, I just started playing around with XBMC and have some Problems with using PowerDVD (Cinema) as an external player for blurays. I configured the playcorefactory.xml and when I'm starting a bluray from within xbmc PowerDVD starts as expected but the movie doesn't run fluid. As soon as I close XBMC in the background the movie plays normal again. Has anyone had similar problems or is there some setting I don't know yet? playcorefactory.xml: <playercorefactory> <players> <player name="DVDPlayer" audio="true" video="true" /> <player name="DVDPlayer" /> <player name="PAPlayer" audio="true" /> <player name="PowerDVD" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="false"> <filename>C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD10\PowerDVD Cinema\PowerDVDCinema10.exe</filename> <args>PowerDVD</args> <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc> <hideconsole>false</hideconsole> <hidecursor>false</hidecursor> <forceontop>false</forceontop> </player> </players> <rules action="prepend"> <rule name="Blu-Ray" protocols="bd" player="PowerDVD"/> </rules> </playercorefactory> System: Windows 7 (x86) Core i3 (integrated GPU) XBMC 10.0 PwerDVD 10 Ultra - eskro - 2011-01-16 try to replace --> <args>PowerDVD</args> with --> <args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args> - Flotto85 - 2011-01-18 Thanks for the hint, but setting hidexbmc to true solved it already. I need the PowerDVD arg because I'm not starting PowerDVD directly because I need to change the refreh rate first. - SnowDog65 - 2011-01-22 I have no problem adding an external player. But I do have a problem getting it to launch on the right monitor. I set XBMC to display on monitor 2 (my HDTV) this works fine, when using it's internal player, it will show it on Mon2/HDTV. But when I play a movie with my external player, it launches back onto monitor 1 and not my TV where I am running XBMC. How do I get XBMC to launch the external player on my Mon2/HDTV instead of my main monitor? - eskro - 2011-01-22 i think it may be towards your external player you need to look... i know theres applications like UltraMonitor that manages Multi-Monitor stuff in general,,, have a look at it, im sure there's a setting in there to have certain applications open on the 1st or 2nd monitor... i think you can even change which monitor is the primary and which is secondary.... so you could make your HDTV the primary monitor and see how it goes for ya! - SnowDog65 - 2011-01-23 eskro Wrote:i think it may be towards your external player you need to look... I was hoping for an XBMC launch parameter. Since XBMC was already on monitor 2, I thought what it launched would also be on monitor 2. Also I don't always want my external player always on my TV, only when it launches from XBMC. So I nothing to control it then? |
