I think gimli's complain is about loosing comfort and features of XBMC by running external players.

Correct. How external players are launched is just crap. You exit XBMC and loose the XBMC experience.
On the other hand, on Android we would need help on our internal player. Looks like nobody with the skills is intrested to help.

What about sub titles who are next to your video's on a NAS? Is MXPlayer and/or Diceplayer able to read them if the file is not really local? I guess you also need to fool XBMC/External player by mounting the shared folder into a local directory (smbmount apk)

I use the filemanager that came with Mele Android 4.0 to browse to my NAS via SMB and MX player plays the subtitles fine. Both internal as external are listed. Mizuu.tv is great, but not enough options for customisation.

I Wish there was an XBMC TV BOX then screw android and windows and mac ,then your/my life would be easier ya im in the wrong thread/post/section just wanted to free this bug

launching MX Player via XBMC didn't work for me using the patch above

Hi!,
I love the XBMC internal player, but I just needed to use a external player for the mele A1000 (my father uses it, and he doesn't notice the difference).

I followed the j1nx's blog and the Issues with the Allwinner privative components, and because of that I searched a fast way to use xbmc and a external player.
I understand the gimli's comment, but it is just a fast fix for the mele.

Now I'm looking the source code and I'm trying to understand how the internal player works, to help and improve it. But for now, the fatest way I find to use XBMC in a Mele A1000 was an external player.

@pracha2, I tested it in a Motorola Milestone 2 and a Motorola Atrix 2, and works well.

NOTE: I modified the AndroidManifest, for working as a Launcher and make it persistent, now when I turn on the Mele, automaticaly starts XBMC.

EDIT: @mrspin, I think you have the "pro" version installed. Did you try to use the "ad" version?

[mrspin]

Hi inRivalz, I have tried both pro and the advert(free) one but same result. odd that this is working for other players. All I have done is install the patched XBMC and changed the playercorefactory.xml

[b1t0y]

Can you make a step by step guide for xbmc patched with mx player? I tried installing also the patched xbmc apk that you have and placed the playercorefactory.xml but the mx player won't open? i am trying it out on a g-box 2 android tv box? any thoughts? thanks.

[j1nx]

I tested it and wrote about it on my blog, but like I thought; You need to pull some tricks to use your NAS as the supplier of your content.

(Still mixed feeling though)

[mrspin]

mine now works - thanks again inRivalz for the patch and to original coders. great result and will help until we get native HW acceleration on our A10 devices.

firmly back in the XBMC camp

hi I have 5 device for test
1. Samsung N-7000 Ice 4.04 > not work
2. N101 Rockchip RK-3066 Ice 4.04 > not work
3. Archos 80G9 250Gb Ice 4.07 > not work
4. Samsung SIII Ice 4.04 > not work
5. Herotab 9.7 1.5G Ice 4.03 > works well

this problem. when I play all movie.

[j1nx]

Try it with local files first.
If it works with local files, you can try to get it to work somehow with your "MyBusVOD-PC". You probably end up, using software such as cifsmanager to mount the remote folders in a local folder to fool Android / MXPlayer.

[pracha2]

hello @j1nx
I try at local files.
and not work .
But I select DvdPlayer it work.

[j1nx]

Then you should check the logs to investigate why MXPlayer fails to start.

If I could, I would help, but I have no knowledge on the subject. But I did post a thread on the Raspberry forum asking for help:

[d1dd1]

They could use the help from the devs of diceplayer, MXPlayer , etc...
