Hi there,

I am trying to set up MPC HC as external player for recordings, but run into an issue. It seems that instead of giving the real file name as argument to mpc-hc, XBMC instead gives a pvr:\\ link which mpc-hc obviously does not understand.

Excerpt from log file:
22:44:29 T:2228 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer::OpenFile: pvr://recordings/20120807_180004/Hammerslag.pvr
22:44:29 T:1968 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer:rocess: Player : C:\Program Files\Combined Community Codec Pack\MPC\mpc-hc.exe
22:44:29 T:1968 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer:rocess: File : pvr://recordings/20120807_180004/Hammerslag.pvr

22:44:29 T:1968 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer:rocess: Args : "{1}" /fullscreen /close
22:44:29 T:1968 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer:rocess: Start

If I do the same with a movie, it works fine. The smb address is translated as it should:
22:40:26 T:2228 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer::OpenFile: smb://NAS/Film/hd/9 (2009)/9.mkv
22:40:26 T:3768 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer:rocess: Player : C:\Program Files\Combined Community Codec Pack\MPC\mpc-hc.exe

22:40:26 T:3768 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer:rocess: Args : "{1}" /fullscreen /close
22:40:26 T:3768 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer:rocess: Start

Using Windows XP and Eden PVR Margro v4 build

For full log see: http://pastebin.com/KJzPiDnm

My PlayerCoreFactory.xml looks like this:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\Combined Community Codec Pack\MPC\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="overwrite">
<rule video="true" player="MPC-HC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>


Is this a bug/not implemented yet, or am I doing something wrong?

What I would expect to see in the log is something like:

22:44:29 T:1968 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer:rocess: File : \\NAS\recordings\Hammerslag\Hammerslag_DR 1_2012-08-07_20-00.ts

not implemented

Ok, thanks for the answer.

Is it in the roadmap for the PVR branch, or should I just accept that it will not be implemented?

Thanks for doing a great job with XBMC PVR, it has replaced MediaPortal on my two machines.
