Title: How to prevent wrapper operating when streaming?
Post by: SSThing on January 09, 2017, 09:59:14 AM

Is there a way to prevent the wrapper kicking in when I try to use my streaming apps? It is working fine for my stored movies.
I have tried swapping the setting to "Kodi player".....does not work.
Have tried clicking on context menu and "play using" ....does not work.
All options result in a message saying "wrapper has stopped".

Any suggestions please?

If you long press just before playing anything, you should get a submenu on the right. There is an option to choose what you want to use: DVDPlayer (Kodi player) or Wrapper (from HiMedia). You can choose DVDPlayer, but make sure you do the same thing if you want to use Wrapper again. After selecting DVDPlayer once, it will be used every time until Wrapper is chosen (from my experience).

You can try add rule on playercorefactory.xml
<rule protocols="http|rtmp|sop" player="DVDPlayer" />

This is what I am trying but it isn't working, I am using Kodi 17. Thank you anyway.

Thank you, I shall try this shortly. Will this allow Wrapper to operate when playing movies only?

Have tried that line of code but no change. Should this be added as an additional line or to replace a specific line?
Thank you

Check a kodi.log and see protocol and filename try to pass to external player do change according what you see/need.
