If you want more info on external player, you can visit this thread- Working External Player Solution. - {{INX}} - 2012-02-22 Thank you, I will try that it the morning. Will Title (YEAR)_3d.mkv naming be ok? Also do you know if the movies will still show up with 3D cases in Aeon MQ3 when I have changed the naming from .3dbd to Title_3d? - {{INX}} - 2012-02-22 Damn thing still says the external player has started but nothing happens. When I get home from work later I will try a fresh build of XMBC and see if that works. - bluray - 2012-02-22 {{INX}} Wrote:Damn thing still says the external player has started but nothing happens.You can try these codes- <playercorefactory> <players> <player name="3D_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="false"> <filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 5\uTotalMediaTheatre5.exe</filename> <args>"{1}"</args> <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc> <hideconsole>false</hideconsole> <warpcursor>false</warpcursor> </player> </players> <rules action="prepend"> <!-- Note- blu-ray SBS 3d rules--> <rule filename=".*_3d.mkv*" protocols="*_3d.mkv*" player="3D_Player"/> </rules> </playercorefactory> -You need to make sure that playercorefactory.xml is save in <\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata> folder. If that still doesn't work, you can try these steps. -Rename XBMC folder <\AppData\Roaming> to XBMC_original -Launch XBMC to generate a new XBMC folder in <\AppData\Roaming> folder, and close it XBMC afterward -Move playercorefactory.xml from XBMC_original to the new <\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata> folder -Launch XBMC and try to playback the same movie again - {{INX}} - 2012-02-22 Right just tried all of that and it is still saying the external player has started but nothing happens. Very weird. - bluray - 2012-02-22 {{INX}} Wrote:Right just tried all of that and it is still saying the external player has started but nothing happens.

I hope this is enough info, I couldn't find anything else in the log relevant to the external player. 19:12:09 T:2836 ERROR: PCRE: nothing to repeat.

It's weird because when I used stereoscopic as the external player it launched fine, but unfortunately I didn't like the program as you cannot control it full screen and Total Media Theatre seems to give more quality to the image.

I have a copy of Xbmc on my server for testing new stuff, so I copied the playercorefactory.xml from my main media centre to the server, installed the same copy of Total Media Theatre, then tried to play the 3d film and it worked fine (except the server not being a 3d machine, you could see the player was working). Now the only real difference between the two setups is that the server runs Beta 3 standard and the main media centre runs the modded HD audio install of Beta 3. oh and that the server has the film stored locally but still reads them through the same network path as the main media centre. - bluray - 2012-02-22 {{INX}} Wrote:OK I have an update!It seems that the playercorefactory codes are okay then. If you have a USB drive, you can save the same movie in it and try it on the other (3d) HTPC! - {{INX}} - 2012-02-23 yeah or what I will do instead is rename a 2d animation movie to the _3d.mkv format and try that because I have 6 gb spare which should be plenty. Back soon with some results Edit: Ok same problem, going to bed now as I can sense a re-build of windows and xbmc tomorrow - {{INX}} - 2012-02-23 Update time: Ok I wiped the PC, fresh install of Windows 7, all drivers up to date, installed Xbmc HD audio version, Total Media Theatre and I am still getting the same problem. Do you think it could be the HD audio version of Xbmc that be doing this? - bluray - 2012-02-23 {{INX}} Wrote:Update time:If you haven't install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)", you might want to install it. Oh, did you playback the movie from USB drive or server? If you haven't try playback movie from the local drive or USB driver, I'm suggesting to give it a try! - {{INX}} - 2012-02-23 Bluray, visual c++ was already installed and i tried a local copy yesterday with no luck. Now I have just removed all of Xbmc HD Audio install and installed Beta 3 Standard, copied my settings over and launched a 3d movie without any problems using TM5. So I now know that its something in the HD audio version but what I do not know |
