Tired of that.
Since you can playback fluently with standalone media player, I wouldn't think that is the problem.

@jmpa- can you post the screen shots of XBMC settings\video\playback and settings/system/video output? I want to see exactly what are your settings.

If you cannot get it to work, I'm highly recommending a discrete GPU and this $35 GPU should be fine- SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6450 1GB!

I will do it tonight or tomorrow, I am a little busy. Thanks Big Grin

Hello blyray,
sorry for the latency of feedback but i was out of my city for work.
Your command don't work in my case. I changed with this {<rule filetypes="*.mpeg2.*" player="Universal_Player"/>} but the only different is that now when start live tv in XBMC start the MPC-HC, not the TMT5.
Please can you write for me a command like this: {<rule filetypes="*.mpeg2.*" don't start external player/>}

Thank you for your time,

Do I need to do this in a different version of XBMC, or can I use the DSPlayer version? Should it matter?

Thanks BluRay,

It works. Very hard to get out of it with the ipad as a remote though. Takes switching between multiple apps. What remote are you using?

I'm glad that it work out for you!

I use this "HP MCE Remote", and it work out of the box. I can simply press "stop and back" buttons to get back to XBMC.

The file exactly is mpeg-ps, i tried this command: {<rule filetypes="*.mpeg-ps.*" player="videodefaultplayer"/>} and everything works fine. The TV start in XBMC and the movies in TMT5 or MPC-HC.

Thank you from my heart for your support,

It's always good idea to generate the rule with the correct file extension. I'm glad that it work out for you! Smile

Hey Blu-Ray
You're a very helpful person. I received a lot of benefit from your help. Being a newbie, I used your guides to build a new HTPC and setup XBMC with XBMC_HD_Audio and external player last year. I'm very please with your help.

With all that said, I cannot believe that your reputation is "-12". I never notice it till this new look by XBMC. Sorry to see it.
