RE: [WINDOWS] External Player Support Thread - rmilyard - 2014-03-30
Still haven't been able to get this working.
If anyone is around to help that would be great! I have a busy week at work and was hoping to get this running for the family.
I would like to have all my BD and 3d BD .iso movies play via TotalMedia Theater 6.6 or PowerDVD so I have full menus and 3d support.
I just built our home theater and would like to start using it with xbmc. We have 100" screen with Epson 3D 2030 projected all connected via my Pioneer SC-1522-k AVR setup with 9.2 surround. So would like pass though sound to the AVR.
I don't care what version of xbmc. I am open to the beta if works better/easier etc.
If anyone can help me out that would be great!
MPC-HC audio problems - Clonimus74 - 2014-04-04
Hi,
I have configured MPC-HC as an external player but many times I have no sound.
If I minimize XBMC and open MPC-HC on its own there's sound, then I close it and go back to XBMC, run a movie and then I have sound in MPC, but it will last for only one video file, on the next one I have no sound again.
I tried cancelling the GUI sounds but it didn't help.
I tried cancelling in windows the ability for application to take exclusive control but then I had no audion in XBMC and not in MPC.
I ended up canceling the priority to application with exclusive mode but I don't think it helped.
I canceled the streamsilence option in advancedsettings.xml (I used it in an effort to make XBMC keep outputing sound when I turn off the TV)
here is a debug log file
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=163857
in the above instance I played 3-4 files successfully and then several files that had no sound. I figured i have no sound if the audio is 5.1 (not sure if it is consistent)
I tried every audio renderer in MPC-HC and non worked.
here is my advancedsettings

Have you tried setting the ForceDirectSound flag to "True"?
I don't use the Windows version but you could verify the commands for MPC_HC via the command line by "cd" into the MPC-HC directory and typing "MPC-HC /help". It should pop up a window list with all the commands.
I'm using VLC with XBMCBuntu so mine is a little different. I had to customize the args passed to the instance of VLC to get the menus, sound and hotkeys to behave properly.
RE: [WINDOWS] External Player Support Thread - smithjoe115 - 2014-04-23
I was hoping someone could help me with something? I want XBMC to use my external player (MX Player) instead of the XBMC's player .
I am using both the Frodo 12.4 and Gotham 13 Beta4 versions of XBMC (19th April Nightly build).
I created the file, when i play a film from (1channel Primeware or Mashup) it uses MX Player (the correct External Player), but if i try and play a live stream is states (External Player Active) "Click OK when playback has ended" (an example would be any stream from Expat TV, F.T.V, Navi-X, Mashup, Sports Devil, Nothing works other than films.
If someone could advise it would be great :-)
It does not seem to matter what I do I get the same results. I have cut down the file to the basics see below:-
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MXPlayerFree" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad</filename>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule video="true" player="MXPlayerFree"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
I have tried changing the hidexbmc to false and still no diffference.
I don't understand, if I go to 1channel, it plays a film using MX Player, then if I got to say klm05 sports links in Mashup, I get the message (External Player Active) "Click OK when playback has ended". But it does not startup MX Player.
I cannot be the only one that experiences this problem, I am sure everyone has had this problem and I hoping someone would share the answer please?
Thanks for your help.

Hi
I am trying to use playercodefactory to launch PowerDVD 14 as an external player to playing video files using Play Using... function.

This is the code I use for Media Player Classic HC to play all videos through MPC HC....It works perfectly...Also, if you are going to use MPC HC as your external play instead of the internal one that come with XBMC, you should do all your sound configuring though MPC HC.....XBMC has NOTHING to do with the sound if you are using an external player to play your videos....FYI....Enjoy......

thanks, that will help with the streaming issue I have :-)
but as of the sound, that doesn't help. MPC-HC is configured correctly.
check out this scenario:
I see a movie fine (using MPC as external), then I try playing another movie, there's no sound.
I close MPC, and re-open it myself (not via XBMC), play the movie, there's sound. I close it and open the movie via XBMC (which uses MPC of course) and there's sound (same movie of course)

RE: [WINDOWS] External Player Support Thread - alexirion - 2014-06-20
Hi,
I configured XBMC to use PDVD as external player. Now, if I go to "Movies" and select one of the recently added movies (one of the five movies on top of the menu bar), it works and PDVD is started. But, when I select "Movies" and then select a movie from there the internal player is started. For using the external player I have to press "c" for the context menu, select "play with" and then chosse PDVD, albeit it is shown in the context menu as standard.
Is that the behaviour expected to be? Is there a way, that the external player will be started, when a movie is selected from "Movies" without going to the context menu?

Can someone help me fix this?
I haven't been able to figure this out. I am not very good with understanding the code. If I remove the bdmv parts it seems to just to also play my .ISO files with the XBMC built in player.

thanks, that will help with the streaming issue I have :-)
but as of the sound, that doesn't help. MPC-HC is configured correctly.
check out this scenario:
I see a movie fine (using MPC as external), then I try playing another movie, there's no sound.
I close MPC, and re-open it myself (not via XBMC), play the movie, there's sound. I close it and open the movie via XBMC (which uses MPC of course) and there's sound (same movie of course)
For example, if you use WASAPI audio in XBMC settings, it will always take exclusive control over your soundcard, directsound should not do this but if it does you should uncheck 'allow programs to take exclusve control' in your device manager.
I hope this solves your issue.
