PantsOnFire Wrote:@HelloHello/anyone: thanks for your xml tip. I tried using it but still my iplayer streams just play internally in xbmc. I've put a copy of my xbmc.log on pastebin. I can't tell whats going wrong. I can see the area related to the rtmp stream. But the file itself does not *appear* to have an rtmp file extension; it's some sort of alphanumeric name instead. So I doubt mpc-hc is picking it up.
Does anyone have this working? Can anyone clarify the file extension of an iplayer stream? And while we're at it, apple movie trailers launch mpc-hc but then mpc-hc gives the error "failed to render file" - is mpc-hc capable of opening internet streams?

thanks for reading
As you correctly say, you won't match against your RTMP rule because it's not the extension of the file it's the protocol, so
Code:
<rules action="prepend">
<rule protocols="rtmp" player="MPC-HC" />
</rules>
you MAY be able to get more specific and just pick up your iPlayer streams with
Code:
<rules action="prepend">
<rule protocols="rtmp" filename=".*ondemand.*" player="MPC-HC" />
</rules>
but I haven't tried that.
