If available in mpc, try using opengl for videooutput

Does anyone have a win32 link for the LaunchPlayer build, plugin or patch?
I did a search in this discussion but could not find anything but a C++ source.

Thanks for the help... Smile

there doesnt seem to be a obvious option to use opengl, if you have never used it you can see the output optionshere. also these are the switches, i tried the obvious ones like /fullscreen and using a .bat file like someone reccomended a few pages back but nothing seemed to work

And of course as soon as I post it I find Jester's build.

Something broke between this build and the previous one. I have the same problem with Zoom Player, that it worked flawlessly before.
My advancedsettings.xml:

Code:

<advancedsettings>

<video>

  <defaultplayer>externalplayer</defaultplayer>

</video>

<externalplayer>

  <filename>C:\Program Files\Zoom Player\zplayer.exe</filename>

  <args>/F /Q /PLAY</args>

  <forceontop>false</forceontop>

  <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>

  <hidecursor>false</hidecursor>

</externalplayer>

</advancedsettings>

Does it work while XBMC is in windowed mode?

the patch has made it in the main SVN, so all SVN build from 16984 will have the externalplayer with it Smile

Hi Jester. I noticed that, and it's great, but basic functionality is broken now Sad

Could it maybe be that someone took my suggestion and forceontop has to be set to true?

Compiled on OSX.

1 error in externalplayer.cpp, 209:

g_RemoteControl.Disconnect();

has to be changed in:

#ifdef HAS_LIRC
g_RemoteControl.Disconnect();
#endif

then it builds.
