Title: Android 7 / Kodi 17+ wrapper settings (playercorefactory)
Post by: futeko.com on July 18, 2017, 09:26:28 AM: HiMedia Q5/Q10 Pro is supplied with a small app pre-installed ('wrapper') to make Kodi play some video using HiMedia's video player app (Himediaplayer) rather than Kodi's internal player. Wrapper setup can be easily changed by editing a file on Q5/Q10 Pro called 'playercorefactory.xml'. This thread is for playercorefactory.xml optimisations.

The playercorefactory below is intended to be the current 'best' version for most Q5/Q10 Pro users.

It is designed to:

- Default play all video using Himediaplayer.
- Play DVD using Kodi internal player.
- Play audio (music) using Kodi internal player.
- Play all streams/pvr using Kodi internal player.

It is better than the playercorefactory.xml pre-installed on firmware 2.0.6 because:

- It allows NFS streams to be played using wrapper.

Installation instructions

Either:

Method 1 (using Q5/Q10 Pro)

- Install a file manager app like 'total commander' (my current favourite).
- Navigate to root/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/
- Edit playercorefactory.xml (total commander has a built in file editor)

Method 2 (using a PC)

- Enable Samba sharing on Q5/Q10 Pro (Settings - More - SAMBA Service - Enable)
- Navigate to Q5/Q10 Pro on a PC and then to /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/
- Edit playercorefactory.xml using PC file editor

Code:

Code: [Select]
<playercorefactory> <players>  <player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> <filename>com.himedia.xbmcwrapper</filename> <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime> </player> </players> <rules action="prepend">  <rule protocols="pvr" player="VideoPlayer" />  <rule protocols="http|rtmp|sop" player="VideoPlayer" />  <rule internetstream="true" player="VideoPlayer" />   <rule video="true" audiochannels="6" player="Wrapper" />  <rule video="true" audiochannels="8" player="Wrapper" />   <rule video="true" videoresolution="720" player="Wrapper" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="1080" player="Wrapper" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="2160" player="Wrapper" />   <rule audio="true" player="PAplayer"/>   <rule video="true" audiocodec="truehd|true-hd|dtshd|dts-hd|dts" player="Wrapper"/> <rule filename=".*.3D.*|.*.3D.iso|3D.*" player="Wrapper"/> <rule filetypes="bdmv|mpls|m2ts" player="Wrapper"/> <rule video="true" player="Wrapper"/> </rules> </playercorefactory>

Post by: Mount81 on July 18, 2017, 12:04:10 PM: Great!

Why decided to play all audio files rather with KODI Player? Produces better audio quality?

I guess i will mod it to play all audio rather with Winamp, as it's far more decent in quality on the analogue outputs. (To be honest both KODI and HimedaMusic Player sounds very strange and unnatural).

Also would be nice to mod to play only DVD SD files with KODI, cause I have a plenty of SD avi, wmv sources that would be better with HiPlayer.

I guess one of these mods would do:
<rule filename=".*.3D.*|.*.3D.iso|3D.*"|*.avi|*.wmv" player="Wrapper"/>
or
<rule filename="*.vob" player="VideoPlayer"/>

:???

Totally off topic and I will delete/move future posts not about wrapper / playercorefactory.

The 'flickering' is a feature of Imprex, dynamic contrast. It's a lot more subtle with the Imprex in 2.0.4 and if you don't like it you can just turn Imprex off.

Yes, I would also need this.
If I play Blu-Ray TV Shows like "Friends" with menu like DVD Menu where we can chooose the episodes etc, I guess I would need this to be played by Kodi ? As HiMedia Player can't show the menu ?
If so, then how to mod the playercorefactory so such files are played using Kodi Player ?
* need the exact mods command as I don't really understand how to define such kind of movie (Blu-Ray TV Shows with menu)

THanks.

The below has only been tested on Youtube, where it works.

Add this to the top players section:

Code: [Select]
 <player name="MXPlayerFree" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> <filename>com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad</filename> <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime> </player>
Change the following lines from Videoplayer to MXPlayerfree:

Code: [Select]
<rule protocols="http|https|rtmp|sop" player="MXPlayerFree" />  <rule protocols="pvr" player="MXPlayerFree" />  <rule internetstream="true" player="MXPlayerFree" /> 
So:

Code: [Select]
<playercorefactory> <players>  <player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> <filename>com.himedia.xbmcwrapper</filename> <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime> </player>  <player name="MXPlayerFree" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> <filename>com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad</filename> <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime> </player> </players> <rules action="prepend">  <rule protocols="http|https|rtmp|sop" player="MXPlayerFree" />  <rule protocols="nfs|smb" player="Wrapper" />   <rule protocols="pvr" player="MXPlayerFree" />  <rule internetstream="true" player="MXPlayerFree" />   <rule video="true" audiochannels="6" player="Wrapper" />  <rule video="true" audiochannels="8" player="Wrapper" />   <rule video="true" videoresolution="480" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="576" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="720" player="Wrapper" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="1080" player="Wrapper" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="2160" player="Wrapper" />   <rule audio="true" player="PAplayer"/>   <rule video="true" audiocodec="truehd|true-hd|dtshd|dts-hd|dts" player="Wrapper"/> <rule filename=".*.3D.*|.*.3D.iso|3D.*" player="Wrapper"/> <rule filetypes="iso|bdmv|mpls|m2ts" player="Wrapper"/> <rule video="true" player="Wrapper"/> </rules> </playercorefactory>

The problem why pcristi came up with this config is that Kodi cannot differentiate bluray and dvd iso and he wanted to play bluray isos with the wrapper.

There is a workaround however:

Code: [Select]
<playercorefactory> <players> <player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> <filename>com.himedia.xbmcwrapper</filename> <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime> </player> </players> <rules action="prepend">  <rule video="true" player="Wrapper" > <rule name="dvd|dvdimage|dvdfile" player="Wrapper" > <rule video="true" videoresolution="480" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="576" player="VideoPlayer" /> </rule> <rule filetypes="iso|ifo|vob" player="Wrapper" > <rule video="true" videoresolution="480" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="576" player="VideoPlayer" /> </rule> </rule>  <rule audio="true" player="PAplayer" />  <rule internetstream="true" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule protocols="http|https|rtmp|sop|pvr" player="VideoPlayer" /> </rules> </playercorefactory>

Post by: futeko.com on July 20, 2017, 09:09:43 AM: Eriol's version is simpler and achieves the same as the opening post / pcristi version.

The only thing I've done is added back the PVR line.

I think this is new optimum! After a bit of testing I will replace OP version with it.

Code: [Select]
<playercorefactory> <players> <player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> <filename>com.himedia.xbmcwrapper</filename> <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime> </player> </players> <rules action="prepend">  <rule video="true" player="Wrapper" > <rule name="dvd|dvdimage|dvdfile" player="Wrapper" > <rule video="true" videoresolution="480" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="576" player="VideoPlayer" /> </rule> <rule filetypes="iso|ifo|vob" player="Wrapper" > <rule video="true" videoresolution="480" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="576" player="VideoPlayer" /> </rule> </rule>  <rule audio="true" player="PAplayer" />  <rule internetstream="true" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule protocols="http|https|rtmp|sop|pvr" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule protocols="pvr" player="VideoPlayer" /> </rules> </playercorefactory>

Not exactly: pcristi version does resolution detection only to differentiate bluray from dvd. But this results that all SD content (like old xvid dvdrips) will be played with the VideoPlayer. A fix for that was implemented in mine with a chained rule (iso? -> sd?) so only DVDs are be played with the VideoPlayer.

You don't need the pvr line it's there already:
<rule protocols="http|https|rtmp|sop|pvr" player="VideoPlayer" />

But yeah, I advise testing because I didn't tested all scenarios (steam, audio) myself because I don't have those in my library.

Ah. I didn't notice pvr listed. Your version is better in how it handles identifying DVD iso, I see that.

So, optimum:

Code: [Select]
<playercorefactory> <players> <player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> <filename>com.himedia.xbmcwrapper</filename> <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime> </player> </players> <rules action="prepend">  <rule video="true" player="Wrapper" > <rule name="dvd|dvdimage|dvdfile" player="Wrapper" > <rule video="true" videoresolution="480" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="576" player="VideoPlayer" /> </rule> <rule filetypes="iso|ifo|vob" player="Wrapper" > <rule video="true" videoresolution="480" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule video="true" videoresolution="576" player="VideoPlayer" /> </rule> </rule>  <rule audio="true" player="PAplayer" />  <rule internetstream="true" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule protocols="http|https|rtmp|sop|pvr" player="VideoPlayer" /> </rules> </playercorefactory>

Read through the thread and you will get what it's up for. But NO, it's a different good. HimediaPayer will play DVDs, but one will need the following patch to play on correct fps: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1043.0 (http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=1043.0) But from other reasons I wouldn't install it just for occasional DVD playback.

Post by: dukunmagic on July 24, 2017, 06:31:26 PM: Hi, Am sorry to ask again. I've tried to tweak the coreplayerfactory but doesn't work.

I want to play my Blu-Ray which are TV Shows, they contain BDMV Structure but they have Menu in which we can choose episode to watch.
I see that the BDMV file structure is just the same as my other Blu-Ray (Cinema) Movies.

If I play it with Wrapper, the menu just don't come out. It just play episode 1 directly, and then stop.
But if I play it with VIdeo Player, then the menu will come out.

So, how to define (in coreplayerfactory) these Blu-Ray TV Shows (with menu) with BDMV Structure to be played by Video Player ?

Thanks

Hi, Am sorry to ask again. I've tried to tweak the coreplayerfactory but doesn't work.

I want to play my Blu-Ray which are TV Shows, they contain BDMV Structure but they have Menu in which we can choose episode to watch.
I see that the BDMV file structure is just the same as my other Blu-Ray (Cinema) Movies.

If I play it with Wrapper, the menu just don't come out. It just play episode 1 directly, and then stop.
But if I play it with VIdeo Player, then the menu will come out.

So, how to define (in coreplayerfactory) these Blu-Ray TV Shows (with menu) with BDMV Structure to be played by Video Player ?

Thanks

Try this modification:

Code: [Select]
 <rule video="true" player="Wrapper" > <rule videocodec="mpeg2" player="VideoPlayer" /> <rule filetypes="bdmv" player="VideoPlayer" /> </rule>

This will make all bdmv structure including all bluray individual movies played by video player, isnt it ?
I need bluray individual movies played by wrapper, while only the ones with episodes (TV Shows) played by video player..

Post by: futeko.com on July 25, 2017, 09:45:29 AM: It could be done as long as all the episodes contained a string (e.g. 'episode') identifying them as episodes for playback by Kodi player.

So you would need to rename all episodes to include the chosen identifier string.

Code: [Select]
<rule filename="*episode*" player="VideoPlayer" />

If it's a bluray file structure with menu you will have trouble to rename the actual m2ts files to *episode*. I mean it can be done but then the menu won't work properly anymore. And I guess the point here is a working menu.

Correct.

I guess can we hope that the next firmware will enhance the himedia player to be able to show menu for bluray TV shows (with menu) ?

For temporary solution, is it possible if i rename the title / add with .TV, for example : "Friends.TV", then mod the coreplayer factory with condition file name with .tv will be played by video player ?

Thanks

Nah, Kodi don't care about folder names but filenames.
I only see this one working if you pack the bluray into an ISO file and then you rename it for something like *blurayseries*.iso
Then you can start to experiment with the filename filter:

Code: [Select]
<rule filename="*blurayseries*" player="VideoPlayer" />

I added the NFS/SMB source lines to try and ensure NFS gets played using wrapper, I appreciate they aren't necessary.

Please test if the new NFS/SMB rule you added does not interfere with the mpeg2 -> VideoPlayer rule.

I change the playercorefactory like OP post, but wrapper it's always default player...

I open a stream, and wrapper it's default, i can press menu bottom and select play with... to select kodiplayer :-\

I have Android N with last firm 2.0.4 and kodi 17.3.
I have change file playercorefactory.xml like the OP but don't work correctly... when i open a stream wrapper it's default player.
After change playercorefactory.xml, i turn off my pc, and go to Q5 and check what player is default in stream.
Todays i open the playercorefactory and shows like this:

<playercorefactory>
   <players>
      <player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
         <filename>com.himedia.xbmcwrapper</filename>
         <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
         <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
      </player>
   </players>

   <rules action="prepend">

      
      <rule video="true" player="Wrapper" >
         <rule name="dvd|dvdimage|dvdfile" player="Wrapper" >
            <rule video="true" videoresolution="480" player="VideoPlayer" />
            <rule video="true" videoresolution="576" player="VideoPlayer" />
         </rule>
         <rule filetypes="iso|ifo|vob" player="Wrapper" >
            <rule video="true" videoresolution="480" player="VideoPlayer" />
            <rule video="true" videoresolution="576" player="VideoPlayer" />
         </rule>
      </rule>

      
      <rule audio="true" player="PAplayer" />

      
      <rule internetstream="true" player="VideoPlayer" />
      <rule protocols="http|https|rtmp|sop|pvr" player="VideoPlayer" />
      <rule protocols="pvr" player="VideoPlayer" />

   </rules>
</playercorefactory>r"/> 



<rule video="true" audiocodec="truehd|true-hd|dtshd|dts-hd|dts" player="Wrapper"/>

<rule filename=".*.3D.*|.*.3D.iso|3D.*" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule filetypes="iso|bdmv|mpls|m2ts" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule video="true" player="Wrapper"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

There are new rules that no are in the code in OP, i don't know why or if this new rules are the culprit...
How can i change this playercorefactory to the OP one and don't chage it?

Post by: speighty1 on November 03, 2017, 11:05:27 PM: How can I set the xml file so that when I press enter on my uhd iso it loads the wrapper, at the moment pressing ok on one of them does nothing, I have to select the context menu and press play using and then wrapper.

Actually just tested with anu blu-ray iso and either nothing happens or kodi plays the movie for standard blu-ray, I just want to set it so the default for iso is th wrapper and then if i need to use kodis player i can use the play using option.

Post by: Mount81 on May 31, 2018, 09:38:38 AM: Hello!

So I thought a brave and attempted to modify with the plan to call HibyMusic from KODI for all audio only files.

This is what I added:

Code: [Select]
<players>  <player name="HibyMusic" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="false"> <filename>com.hiby.music</filename> <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime> </player> </players>And the line I've modified:

Code: [Select]
 <rule audio="true" player="HibyMusic" />But It just doesn't work. I guess I would need the SMB mountpoint patch to make it work with the network shared files, but it also fails to wok from directly connected USB drives. I try to play any kind of audio files from KODI and it just doesn't do or start anything.

I guess the result would be the same with any other media or music player app (like with Poweramp and so...).

What am I missing here? Any suggestions how could i make this work (if possible at all)?

Thanks!

Post by: Mount81 on June 18, 2018, 06:43:04 AM: So, no one has a clue how to make it work or what should i try with HibyMusic (or f.e. any other music player app)? (Se the upper post.)

Thanks!
