forcing player with IsPlayable/setResolvedUrl - t0mm0 - 2011-04-16
hi,
i'm using IsPlayable/setResolvedUrl in my plugin (see code at https://github.com/t0mm0/t0mm0-xbmc-plugins/blob/f442e0aa82844b95850412e314d0d2441038d327/plugin.video.veetle/default.py)
is it possible to force a particular player type (eg xbmc.PLAYER_CORE_DVDPLAYER)? as i am not using xbmc.Player().play() i can't see how i could do that.
any help greatly appreciated!
thanks,
t0mm0

I'd like to be able to force the player too in the grooveshark script. Currently, as far as I know, it can only be done on a per script/plugin basis using a rule in playercorefactory.xml.

so have the xbox guys add hacks for that version. we won't carry any xbox cruft.

i have actually also come across the problem on non-xbox platforms with my subsonic plugin. i guess the mime type is sent wrong by the server (application/x-download) and files don't play, but if you choose 'play using' and select dvd player then it does play

you're saying paplayer fails? give me a non-working example and i'll get the bug fixed.

thanks for taking a look spiff!
this is a nightly build from 17th (a857a0c) running on ubuntu maverick but i have also seen the same behaviour on 10.1.

at around line 495 is an attempt to play a stream just by selecting it, which fails (several times as it tries to play other files in the dir), then at around line 925 i select 'play using' and choose dvd player and it works.
you can also reproduce it using a strm file with the url
Code:

i don't think its really an issue of adding code to support xbox (which i agree is bad)
afterall xbmc.player.play allows you to set the player type. would just be nice to round off xbmcplugin module to support the same level features as xbmc module
