hi all,
i'm not good in scripting, i just want to tweak dreambox.tv script to be more faster, but as far as i can understand, xbmc.player().play(url) it's too slow to process in case of http streams, because i see in logs that xbmc consider the url a playlist and not simply a file to open:
0:50:26 m: 27844608 info: loading web playlist http://root:dreambox@192.168.2.97:31339/200,28a
00:50:26 m: 27844608 info: get header url: http://root:dreambox@192.168.2.97:31339/200,28a
00:50:29 m: 27807744 error: invalid reply from server
00:50:29 m: 27865088 notice: url http://root:dreambox@192.168.2.97:31339/200,28a not found
i don't know how to skip this, because xbmc.player have not so many possibilities
after that:
00:50:29 m: 27844608 debug: cplayercorefactor::getplayers(http://root:dreambox@192.168.2.97:31339/200,28a)
this i already skipped forcing the use of mplayer with xbmc.player(xbmc.player_core_mplayer).
my question: is there a way in python script to start directly mplayer?
i mean, i just want this to happen directly:
00:50:33 m: 26714112 info: mplayer play:http://root:dreambox@192.168.2.97:31339/200,28a cachesize:2048
thanks for any advice, and excuse my poor techical language.

try to make a temp playlist file using python
with your url as a playlist item, and then execute that playlist.
- Geremia - 2006-05-06 13:59
i already quickly tried but nothing happens, maybe i miss something.
should this be correct?
xbmc.playlist(xbmc.playlist_video).clear()
xbmc.playlist(xbmc.playlist_video).add(url)
xbmc.player(xbmc.player_core_mplayer).play()

i was thinking on doing it a little more simple
using xbmcbuiltin to execute the playlist.
http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.p....s&v=98v
and make the playlist, just adding url as text to a textfile using python. save the file as a playlist file-extencion

thanks, this is interesting, i'll try to execute the builtin xbmc.playmedia(media).
btw, i tried a xbmc.player().play('mylist.pls') but nothing happens in log, don't know if i'm too poor in coding or if python 2.4 problem.

you didn't spesify where playlistfile where located.
i guess if it's not spesified, it will look in the root of xbmc folder for it.
are you sure it is there?

stream = 'f:\apps\xbmc\sega.strm'
xbmc.player(xbmc.player_core_mplayer).play(stream)
tried f:\apps\xbmc\sega.strm or f:\\apps\\xbmc\\sega.strm or q:\\stream.strm but nothing happens. if i start sega.strm manually in xbmc it plays.
tried also xbmc.player(xbmc.player_core_mplayer).play(str(stream))
where am i wrong?!?!?!
tried the executebuiltin and it works
sega1 = 'xbmc.playmedia('
sega2 = ')'
xbmc.executebuiltin(str(sega1+myurl+sega2))
..anyway this way i can't select directly the mplayer core, so a waste of time for xbmc to determine what player to use
how can i manage the xbmc.playlist correctly? have you some real example? i haven't understand it very well.
thanks again

have you checked python error output?
you can get it by pushing the white controller button when you are in scripts at xbmc.

the log is the same i get with xbmc loglevel 0, nothing more.
i think i'll try with xbmc.playlist but i don't have any example to look at.

Quote:the log is the same i get with xbmc loglevel 0, nothing more.if you are using a release after 02/05 don't forget you need to move most of you settings (like loglevel) from xboxmediacenter.xml to userdata/advancedsettings.xml else yes it won't log anything. there's an entry in the wiki about advancedsettings.xml and all the options. log levels have changed so i think you want to just use level 1. i am sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong.
