AW: [APP][2.3+][RELEASE] The First End User Friendly Version of XBMC for Android

Hi,

like XBMC very much but can't change the default player, wanted to use BSPlayerFree because it plays DTS Audio, MXPlayer Free not.

At the End of the playercorefactory.xml I changed to this:

<!-- Rules for which external player to use -->

<!-- MX Player Free is default

change player= value to one of the above names to change this -->

<rules action="prepend">

<!-- Samba file shares -- Internal player for now due to MX Player issues -->

<rule protocols="smb" player="DVDPlayer" />

<!-- DVD Images -->

<rule dvdimage="true" player="BSPlayerFree"/>

<!-- rtmp Streams (Ice / Navi-x) -->

<rule protocols="rtmp" player="BSPlayerFree"/>

<!-- rtsp Streams (Type of internet stream) -->

<rule protocols="rtsp" player="BSPlayerFree" />

<!-- SopCast -->

<rule protocols="sop" player="SopCast" />

<!-- Internet streams -- Disabled for now -->

<!--<rule internetstream="true" player="BSPlayerFree" />-->

<!-- Video files -- Default rule (last to ensure above trigger first -->

<rule video="true" player="BSPlayerFree"/>

</rules>

</playercorefactory>

But when I want to play a file in XBMC ther is a popup which sasy:

External player active

Press OK when playback has ended.

What did I wrong?

Kind regards

i'm having the same issue on my kindle fire (neon) running twa_priv's jb rom and trying to open the file over nfs from my nas. if i put a local file on the kf, it opens up just fine. i've got a pi and pivos that connect to the nas via nfs and play back just fine.

on a side note, bs player works great on the kf over smb from the nas.

You can add DTS decoding to MX player !!

First download this :

http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/72824591/file.html

Unzip the folder to the root of your SD card (or internal storage).

Now in MX player settings, go to "Decoder", and click on "custom codec", then choose the folder previously unzipped.

Save.

And voilà !! MX player now decodes DTS ;)

[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Can you post a logcat and your xbmc log?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
This is likely due to the external player not supporting the protocol for the file or stream you selected. Can you post a log cat and your xbmc log?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Known issue, there is a work around up on xbmcandroid.com/forums. I will be looking at this more closely in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Can you post a log cat after a cold boot and running through the above process?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Likely you got it right. BSPlayer and a number of others don't support every protocol / stream that XBMC sources do. Can you post your xbmc log? There is also a thread on xbmcandroid.com/forums that has discussion regarding external players and what streams/formats are supported.

Not sure if known bug, but Youtube doesn't want to stream. Works okay on PC and Pi, but Android seems to no go. Project Free TV seems to be similarly refusing to play, but that's tied into Youtube.

Hi there. Is it possible to hide the navbar on XBMC (by setting the SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION flag), as it's distorting the UI and making the Touched skin look very squashed on the nexus 7.
[Android Apps and Games] spendleb:
How do you get the XBMC log and Logcat? I'm not overly technical so be kind :)
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
"Yes". I have posted some code in the official forums, but there is a bug I need to sort out. Getting the ActionBar hidden on 4.0+ is a lot more of a PITA than meets the eye I'm finding. One big pain point is whenever you tap the ActionBar will be re-shown and re-size the app in the process which is causing a glitch with rendering.
[Android Apps and Games] mmaniaci:
I'm also getting this message but no playback....

External player active

I'm trying to play a file over SMB. I think I have modified playercorefactory.xml properly. I've tried multiple players but have the same result. Can anyone confirm a player that they were able to get working with files access via samba. Thanks.

Re: [APP][2.3+][RELEASE] Community bulid of XBMC

Anyone know if can set the external player as 'twonky', so we can 'beam' the video to a dlna TV?
[Android Apps and Games] brianf21:
Other than changing the playercorefactory.xml file, what else do I need to do to build this to get external players to work?
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
There should be an included playercorefactory.xml that uses MX Player Free by default in this build. The only thing you should really need to do is install MX Player Free and start watching.

If you want to change the player from MX Player to another, you can edit the rules at the bottom of the playercorefactory.xml that is in your userdata folder.
[Android Apps and Games] brianf21:
When I install it, there is no playercorefactory.xml in userdata and it seems to be the normal xbmc for android without any external players. Do I need to make any changes to the Makefile or anything? I am following the android instructions under docs.

Edit: I think I am not using the right branch. I was building the master by mistake. Thanks for your help.

You want the branches with XAF in the name. Those are the ones with external player support. That or rebase the android-feature-external_player branch onto master. The android-feature-external_player branch is the one I submitted via PR to the XBMC upstream.

Re: [APP][2.3+][RELEASE] Community bulid of XBMC

Unfortunately not working for me. I managed to successfully add my library.

Getting lots of unusual problems:

1. TONS of INFO: CNFSFile:: Open: Unable to open file : 'export/Videos/Movies/Drama/Poolhall Junkies (2002)/Poolhall Junkies (2002).avi' error : 'open call failed with "NFS: ACCESS denied. Required access r--. Allowed access ---"' even though my other nfs XBMC clients don't.

2. Also only "external player active" pop up. ERROR: CXBMCApp::StartActivity Failed to load com.mxtech.videoplayer.pro. Exception follows: NOTICE: : XBMC cannot stay hidden for a launcher process. I can only assume MxPlayer does not support nfs protocol.

3. I have also noticed I am unable to minimise the XBMC application. Whenever I change activities, it restarts when I change back.

I am quite impressed with the project. Will move my concerns to the forum. :)
[Android Apps and Games] brianf21:
I got it to work. I did a build with external players and the amlplayer. I think what you are doing with the external players is the future of XBMC for android. Did they accept your pull request? Anyways, thanks for all your hard work.

It is one option, I'm curious to see how libstagefright shakes out.

My PR's for external player and native volume controls were merged for Frodo+1. They will not in the frodo release.

XbmcAndroid.com/Forums
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
1. nfs has been a bit odd on android since day one. I don't remember seeing any reports that NFS actually works on android off the top of my head.

2. That is likley due to your external player not supporting NFS. If you look at the log you'll see a call to MX player with a failure notice. Nobody has tried MX + nfs that I am aware of. If you can confirm and post the relavant log detail I'll look at updating the playercorefactory.xml file included in the XAF builds to prevent MX player from being used with NFS.

3. Likely something to do with a task killer. XBMC is heavy on RAM/CPU and the default android task killer tends to nuke it when you switch off of it. There is a bit of information online on how to prevent the android task killers from taking out a given application.

Re: [APP][2.3+][RELEASE] Community bulid of XBMC

The Paplay is the default music player and it's horrible. If you right click you can choose to play it with dvd player. Does any one know how to set dvd player to default player? Thanks

Note 2
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Not sure how to change the default music player offhand. If you look at the wiki and playercorefactory.xml you should be able to update it to have a new default music player.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
ERROR: Default skin 'skin.touched' not found! Terminating..

This is very odd. Did XBMC crash during first run or do anything "funny" when you first launched it? Try clearing the app data (System Settings -> Apps -> XBMC -> Clear Data) and try launching it again. Let it sit and get through the whole progress bar and 1st start splash screen, it can take awhile.
[Android Apps and Games] brainimpact:
Re: [APP][2.3+][RELEASE] Community bulid of XBMC

just wondering if theres a way to make it try a different player automatically when stream format is not supported by the one we have set.

Currently a dialogue box pops up and it thinks its playing and says something like press ok when you finish viewing, even though its not playing and did not launch anything.
[Android Apps and Games] kemonine96:
Not that I have seen. You may want to pose the same question over on xbmcandroid.com/forums . There are a few over there working on external players heavily.

Re: [APP][2.3+][RELEASE] Community bulid of XBMC

Hi,

I'm brand new to XBMC, I've got it up and running, but I'd like to watch streaming sports via something like sportsdevil, but I'm not seeing it listed - can anyone tell me how to add new soures (new repositories?), or point me towards instructions for doing so on Android ? Devices are GS3 and Transformer TF101.
[Android Apps and Games] brainimpact:
Hi I'm using Tf201 and GS3 and all works fine,

go to Settings > Add-ons > Install from Zip File > then choose, fusion > Sports > then click on repository.MaxMustermann.xbmc_1.0.1.zip to activate it.

Now just go to Videos > Add-ons > get more... and find Sportsdevil in the list.

if for some strange reason you cant see it in the list just look at your repository sources to be sure MaxMustermann was added.

btw go back to fusion and just check what else there is in the folders you will find many other cool add-ons and repository's that you can activate from there
[Android Apps and Games] galt:
Re: [APP][2.3+][RELEASE] Community bulid of XBMC

Done, thanks!! I've yet to get one of the links from Sportsdevil to play (a lot of instances of it saying the video was active but showing a "External Player Active - press ok to close when video is done" kind of message instead of opening the video player. I've streamed a few things in xmbc from other sources, so I'll keep trying.
[Android Apps and Games] brainimpact:
Install Wonderplayer from play store then edit coreplayerfactory.xml so XBMC will use that to play all the different protocols instead of mxplayer, nearly every stream will work then.
[Android Apps and Games] Thunder22:
Re: [APP][2.3+][RELEASE] Community bulid of XBMC

@brainimpact. I tried to use wondershare player as default and changed the xml and rebooted and still doesn't work. If its not too much trouble could you post your settings file so I can compare.
[Android Apps and Games] brainimpact:
I''ll post the part of the text I changed in a second I'll give you tip what to check out for its a mistake I made, if you are pasting wonder player in-between like this "wonderplayer" make sure there is no gap between the double quotation marks like this " wonderplayer " as that happened to me when pasting player name in and would not work till i removed the spaces both sides of the word

Edit: I'lll just upload my file later and you can rather edited the differences or paste over yours its easier

Edit 2: Here's my coreplayerfactory.xml file its set up to use Wonder Player, it works perfect for me.

just make sure before hand that you've started up wonder player so it can detect if you need to install any of the codec packs they supply via google play for the different ARM types

just unzip the file and replace your own with it

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/67720331/playercorefactory.7z
[Android Apps and Games] galt:
Dude, thanks again, this file worked perfectly and now it streams those live sports programs to Wonder Player!

Ok, last general question (I hope) - on most of the videos (not all), I get frequent weird glitching (large blocks of discoloration, or weird spots of it). Device is GS3, this happened with both MXPlayer and WonderPlayer. Any ideas on how to resolve it?
