"Play Using" has disappeared from my video library context menu. - kiboy6 - 2010-07-16 Don't know when this started but for the last few builds I no longer see "Play Using" in my context menu. (currently on SVN 31827) My playercorefactory.xml is unchanged from when it used to work pre-merge (28275). The external player is called correctly for the specified filetypes (wmv). I have also been having some trouble with calling MPC-HC in general. MPC-HC would choke if "hidexbmc" was set to false. Set to "true" it plays fine, but when MPC-HC closes XBMC remains black until I click the mouse. Using fake fullscreen solves this but I don't really want to use that option unless I have to. Thanks so much for any help! Debug shows context menu being called (with "play using" missing), then wmv being played in MPC-HC and black screen on return of XBMC until mouse-click : http://pastebin.ca/1901563 and here is my playercorefactory: Code: <playercorefactory> - Verberzerk - 2010-07-19 Noticed the same problem. The last nightly build from the repo that does include "play using" is r31718. I'm also using MPC-HC as an external player, for virtually all video formats. However, it was great to be able to 'abuse' XBMC's DVDplayer to download subtitles. The new XBMC subtitle add-on works very well! With the newest builds I wouldn't even know how to select DVDplayer, by default videos are played with MPC-HC (which in itself is fine...). It doesn't help that the video settings menu now provides the opportunity to choose a default select action. The choices provided do not include "play using". Anyway, having it in the context menu is better imo. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks! - RDHoworth - 2010-07-19 Verberzerk Wrote:Noticed the same problem. I can also confirm that the option to 'Play Using' is missing from recent builds. All other apsects from the Playercorefactory works, so I can automatically run MPC-HC for any file with '-ext' in the file name, and use DVDPLAYER for all others. However, I still miss the option to use an external player occasionally just by selecting it. - Verberzerk - 2010-07-20 Just noticed that r31993 will fix the problem. Thanks to tschi for submitting the ticket and jmarshall for fixing it! - kiboy6 - 2010-07-21 Yup, all fixed now...thanks Jmarshall! |
