So my question are simple:

Is it possible to start an .mvk/.iso from a rared scene-release with an external player like.. KMPlayer or anyone else?

I've been trying XBMCSetup-Rev22522-moby-ext and even the latest XBMCSetup-Rev22886-dx with no luck.

It looks like XBMC want to send the file to the player, but I guess that as XBMC unpack on the fly for the internal player, it fails on external...

Am I right?

I've just read about the external player function today and I thought I would give it a try.

I read the wiki about creating the files needed in the "userdata" folder and I've done so.

Created the playercorefactory.xml with these lines.

Code:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>H:\Program\Media Player Classic\MPC HomeCinema\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
<args>/play /fullscreen /close </args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>false</hidecursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules>
<rule video="true" player="MPC-HC">
</rule>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

With these settings , nothing happens in XBMC. I tried right click on a movie, play using external player-> Nothing happens.

I also edited the advancedsettings.xml and added these lines

Code:

<advancedsettings>
<video>
  <defaultplayer>externalplayer</defaultplayer>
</video>
<externalplayer>
  <filename>H:\Program\Media Player Classic\MPC HomeCinema\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
  <args>-fs</args>
  <forceontop>true</forceontop>
  <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
  <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
  <hidecursor>false</hidecursor>
</externalplayer>
</advancedsettings>

Same thing, nothing happens. When I start up XBMC, and play a movie it starts right away but Im guessing its not using MPC. Not sure how to tell if IT is using MPC.

Very glad for any help!

Thank you for a very nice program.

No, it's not so easy as that. You'll have to configure stuff for it to work like this but... on the other hand, if what you wish is what you wrote, yes it can work like that no problem.

You can have autoplay enabled and have PowerDVD or TMT autostart when you insert a Blu Ray. What would be the role of XBMC in this, I wonder...

PantsOnFire Wrote:* When I run the video, XBMC shows a dialog, something along the lines of... 'press ok to cancel player' can I remove this somehow? (it's just a distraction)

* When the video is finished it closes MPC-HC and returns to XBMC (great). But in between, there is a brief period where my desktop is shown (and the start bar). Can I eliminate this at all to make it all a bit more seamless?

regards,
Pants.

Thank you.

Some of my movies are multi-part. Is there any way to send ALL parts of the film to a MPC-HC playlist for seamless playback, rather than finishing part 1, returning to xbmc, which then launches part 2 etc..

The reason I ask:
My windows res is 1080p50Hz, thus xbmc runs at this. But to get rid of shearing in all videos, I've set MPC-HC to play fullscreen at 24Hz. So for my multi-part movies, it's far from seamless when it reaches the end of part 1, reverts to xbmc (tv switches back to 50Hz) then launches MPC-HC again (switching back to 24Hz again).
