Does XBMC support AVCHD / Blu-ray format (.m2ts & .m2t & .evo extensions)?

exousir Wrote:I thought I'd give it a go so I added .m2ts into advancedsettings.xml. It works fine as spiff predicted.

I did the same based on the Wiki article on advancedsettings.xml. I created the file and placed the following in it:

<videoextensions>
<add>.m2t|.m2ts</add>
</videoextensions>

And saved it to my /user/Library/Application Support/XBMC/UserData folder. Yet they still don't show in when I browse to the folders where I have .m2ts files. I followed the syntax from the Wiki page, and where to place it. At a loss for what I'm doing wrong.

I added the .m2t since I have downloaded a couple files with that extension as well.

Does the whole file look like this not you need the <advancedsettings> bits and that might be your problem

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <videoextensions>
    <add>.m2t|.m2ts</add>
  </videoextensions>
</advancedsettings>

That was the problem, just watched the Trailer I'd converted to test it, plays beautifully!

Thanks for your help!

Then feel free to submit an offical feature request to have to added to XBMC hardcoded video extention list so that it does not have to be added manualy to advancedsettings.xml by the user.

Quote:Where can I suggest/request a new feature or function to be implemented into XBMC?

You can log a NEW feature/function request in our RFE Request Feature Tracking System, (you must register and be logged-in on SourceForge.net before you can do this). Just make sure that you first remember to search for existing "Feature Requests" before logging a new request! You should take note that we guesstimate that 99% of all new requests XBMC users post have already been requested before so it is imperative that you search thoroughly! You may also post a copy of your suggestion in the feature-suggestion section of our community-forums if you want it open for discussion, however, again you must search there too before you can post, (we do not enjoy reorganising duplicate posts). Please respect that your request only counts as a suggestion, there' s no guarantee that it will implemented soon or ever. Known that almost all users think their own ideas is the most important, and a very common comment is: "if you only add these features then XBMC will be perfect for me". Note! Only one feature per RFE Request and Forum Thread is allowed (for easier manageability).

Yet there is no application on OSX that can play .m2ts or .evo files.
(ripped blu-ray or hddvd files).
Is possible to play .m2ts or .evo files on XBMC? Or in the near future?
I tried VLC and Mplayer also but no luck.
Any information on this topic is more than welcome!

Greetings,

If I drag and drop EVO files onto MPlayer, it plays the video just fine. Doesn't work with File - Open from the menu though.

Hello,
Great to hear XBMC can play .m2ts files!!!!

However I need some help to get it work...

I can't find the 'advancedsettings.xml' in this folder?
/user/Library/Application Support/XBMC/UserData
Or do I have to make a file with this text in it?

<advancedsettings>
<videoextensions>
<add>.m2t|.m2ts</add>
</videoextensions>
</advancedsettings>

Thanx in advance

XBMC is a great app!!!

from the friendly manual.

The "advancedsettings.xml" file, which does not exist by default, may be created by a user in their "Q:\XBMC\UserData\" folder.
This file can contain additional settings and pre-defined values for the settings available in the GUI (thus removing them from the GUI settings screens).
"advancedsettings.xml" is useful for advanced/expert users and for installers.

NOTE! This file will not exist unless created by the end-user, meaning YOU!

wtf is unclear here
