External Player for Crystalbuntu - gsi095 - 2011-03-07 Hi, I have found that .eyetv files dont play we in xbmc using the default player. Some work some don't. I have tested this usning openELEC, Crystalbuntu (on ATV) and on Mac where the files are stored locally and I get the same inconsistant result. I tried playing the troublesome files through vlc on my mac and they played fine. I now want to try to install vlc as an external player on Crystalbuntu for my ATV. I have installed vlc via ssh, how do I configure xbmc to use vlc? Dave - gsi095 - 2011-03-10 I got VLC to work as the external player but it doesnt go full screen and I cant control the playback. It does play the .eyetv files the default player couldnt. - gsi095 - 2011-03-14 I can choose VLC as a player by holding the menu button and the contextual menu includes "play with..." and I select VLC but it doesnt go fullscreen and I cant use the remote to control playback. when I open the .eyetv files it doesnt use VLC in fullscreen to play them as per my playercorefactory file. have I done something wrong? <playercorefactory> <players> <!-- These are compiled-in as re-ordering them would break scripts The following aliases may also be used: audiodefaultplayer, videodefaultplayer, videodefaultdvdplayer <player name="DVDPlayer" audio="true" video="true" /> <player name="DVDPlayer" /> placeholder for MPlayer <player name="PAPlayer" audio="true" /> --> <player name="VLC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> <filename>usr/bin/vlc</filename> <args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args> <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc> <hideconsole>false</hideconsole> <warpcursor>none</warpcursor> </player> </players> <rules name="system rules"> <rule name="rtv" protocols="rtv" player="DVDPlayer" /> <rule name="hdhomerun/myth/rtmp/mms/udp" protocols="hdhomerun|myth|cmyth|rtmp|mms|mmsh|udp" player="DVDPlayer" /> <rule name="lastfm/shout" protocols="lastfm|shout" player="PAPlayer" /> <rule name="eyetv" filetypes="eyetv" filename="*.eyetv" player="VLC"/> <!-- dvdplayer can play standard rtsp streams --> <rule name="rtsp" protocols="rtsp" filetypes="!(rm|ra)" player="PAPlayer" /> <!-- Internet streams --> <rule name="streams" internetstream="true"> <rule name="flv/aacp/sdp" mimetypes="video/x-flv|video-flv|audio/aacp|application/sdp" player="DVDPlayer" /> <rule name="mp2" mimetypes="application/octet-stream" filetypes="mp2" player="PAPlayer" /> </rule> <!-- DVDs --> <rule name="dvd" dvd="true" player="videodefaultdvdplayer" /> <rule name="dvdfile" dvdfile="true" player="videodefaultdvdplayer" /> <rule name="dvdimage" dvdimage="true" player="videodefaultdvdplayer" /> <!-- Only dvdplayer can handle these normally --> <rule name="sdp/asf" filetypes="sdp|asf" player="DVDPlayer" /> <!-- Pass these to dvdplayer as we do not know if they are audio or video --> <rule name="nsv" filetypes="nsv" player="DVDPlayer" /> </rules> </playercorefactory> |
