Hello,
I am using XBMC11, and I tried to setup 3D Vision as external player, but I have a couple of problems. First, this is my playercorefactory.xml file from my userdata (located in my User account)
Code:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="SBS-3D" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA 3D Vision Video Player\StereoPlayer.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" -il:SideBySideRF -ihw -fss -ol:NVIDIA -term</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv|ts" filename=".SBS.*" player="SBS-3D"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
My problems:
1. When I try to name the movies with the ending .SBS.mkv for example, XBMC was not able to scrap the movie information successfully (it was not added to the library with poster etc, but you can find it in the files list). I was forced to takeout ".SBS" from the name just to make XBMC scrap the movie and add it to the library. This, however, negate the idea of adding the rule ".SBS.*" to play it with nVidia 3D Vision. Any way to make it ignore the last part to make the scrapping successful?
2. Because of 1, I was forced to press "C" over the movie, and then use "Open with...", and then choose my external player "SBS-3D". The player start playing fine, but when I close it (with ESC) and return back to XBMC, for some reason I am not aware of XBMC start playing the movie again but with the internal player, and I have to stop it to return again to the movies list. Any idea about what is causing this?
3. I noticed that "Open with..." and the my player "SBS-3D" appear even with movies that are not ending with ".SBS.*". Also it appears even with movies not of filetype "mkv|ts", which is strange. Could this be a mistake on my part, or could it be a bug in the XBMC beta?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
