Hi after some help, Dune supplied me a playercorefactory file to use with kodi, while it works on single files, the problem is with iso and folders, the dune player returns playlist empty, the dune it self can play iso and folder with menus no problem, seems like kodi is handing over the iso or folder in an unknown way to Dune ?? !!

currently using kodi Nexus

Thanks

if you want to use external players for some but not all video playback you can use rules in the playercorefactory.xml

see - https://kodi.wiki/view/External_players

as far as dune being able to play iso files thats for a different forum

[Mike-uk2002]

im wanting to play all files via the external player, as said single files .mp4 or .m2ts play fine with the external player its just when trying to play folders

well this is the kodi forum and kodi has no issues in this thread

@Mike-uk2002 

Can you share the playercorefactory file? I am also interested in using Kodi with these boxes

Thanks

+1 - I'd be interested too and looking at a copy of the playercorefactory file from Dune.

Thanks in advance.

@Mike-uk2002, did you ever figure this out? I have the exact issue you do.

Try this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<!-- dune player for video -->
      <player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
         <filename>com.dunehd.shell</filename>
         <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
         <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
      </player>
</players>

<rules action="prepend">

<!--network protocol rules-->

<rule protocols="http|https|rtmp|sop" player="VideoPlayer" /> <!--all http-->
<rule protocols="nfs|smb" player="Wrapper" /> <!--all nfs|smb-->

<!--internet streams rules-->

<rule protocols="pvr" player="VideoPlayer" /> <!--all pvr-->
<rule internetstream="true" player="VideoPlayer" /> <!--all streams-->

<!--video audio channels rules-->

<rule video="true" audiochannels="6" player="Wrapper" /> <!--5.1 audio-->
<rule video="true" audiochannels="8" player="Wrapper" /> <!-- 7.1 audio-->

<!--video resolution rules-->

<rule video="true" videoresolution="2160" player="Wrapper" /> <!--4K-->

<!--audio / music rules-->

<rule audio="true" player="PAplayer"/> <!--all audio to kodi internal music player-->

<!--specific codecs rules-->

<rule video="true" audiocodec="truehd|true-hd|dtshd|dts-hd|dts" player="Wrapper"/>

<rule filename=".*.3D.*|.*.3D.iso|3D.*" player="Wrapper"/>

<rule video="true"  player="Wrapper"/>   
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Thanks, created one here that's even more expansive for pushing playback to Dune internal player app.

We’ll, those don’t work either .

The one I posted works on the dune realvision 4K I recently bought. I used total commander to copy the file into the DUne.

Below is the player file I got from Dune and it also works. I found Kodi to run real fast on the Dune compared to the Zidoo that I also own.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playercorefactory>
  <players>
    <player name="dunehd" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="true">
       <filename>com.dunehd.shell</filename>
    </player>
  </players>

  <rules action="prepend">
    <rule name="my_rule1" player="dunehd" video="true"/>
  </rules>
</playercorefactory>

Agree Dune is snappier than Zidoo, but its interface is so clunky/dated-looking. Are you using Kodi 20.1, and copied the playercorefactory.xml file to the userdata folder?

I added my movie and TV sources via SMB, but keep getting 'playlist empty' error.

I am using Kodi 20.1 and save the playercorefactory.xml file under userdata folder. I also using HaneWIN NFS on my windows 10 computer. All of my files are MKV and have only tested with movies.

I use the Kodi player for DVD"s, Dune for bluray and 4K.

Got it to work. For whatever reason, Dune is fine w/SMB with my Qnap NAS, but only NFS w/my Synology NAS.
