Kodi wrapper 4k only?

[Dec64]

Hi,

Just setting up my new Q5 Pro, I understand that kodi is limited beyond 5.1/1080p so I want to use the wrapper only for 4K content. I've tried to alter the playercorefactory.xml to make it work with no luck? Can anyone show me how it's done or share there XML if they have it

Some request and post solution give a try

Cheers for the link, should of said i've seen that and it does not work. At one point I had it play 4k movies in the wrapper and normal movies in Kodi. But majority of tv shows, low SD shows would play in the wrapper.

No one will make for you, are many possibility to organize library, so can write rule like this to check filename, video resolution, etc.

Code: [Select]

<!-- Internet streams -- Disabled for now -->
<!--<rule internetstream="true" player="MXPlayerFree" />-->

<rule filename=".*540.*" player="DVDPlayer"/>
<rule videoresolution="540" player="DVDPlayer"/>
<rule filename=".*720.*" player="DVDPlayer"/>
<rule videoresolution="720" player="DVDPlayer"/>
<rule filename=".*1080.*" player="DVDPlayer"/>
<rule videoresolution="1080" player="DVDPlayer"/>
<rule filename=".*1440.*" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule filename=".*(1440p).*" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule videoresolution="1440" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule filename=".*2160.*" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule filename=".*(2160p)*" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule videoresolution="2160" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule filename=".*3840.*" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule filename=".*(3840p)*" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule videoresolution="3840" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule filename=".*4K_*" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule filename=".*UHD_*" player="Wrapper"/>
........

<rule video="true"  player="DVDPlayer">
<rule  protocols="hdhomerun|myth|cmyth|mms|mmsh|udp" player="DVDPlayer" />
    <rule name="rtmp" protocols="rtmp" player="DVDPlayer" />
    <rule name="rtsp" protocols="rtsp" filetypes="!(rm|ra)"  player="PAPlayer" />
   
    <rule name="streams" internetstream="true" player="DVDPlayer">
      <rule name="aacp/sdp" mimetypes="audio/aacp|application/sdp"  player="DVDPlayer"/>
      <rule name="mp2" mimetypes="application/octet-stream" filetypes="mp2" player="PAPlayer" />
    </rule>
</rule>
</rules>

I'm not looking for someone to do it for me..im looking for help and advice.

I've just tried what you pasted, along with many other attempts as before from looking at the wiki. I cant seen to get it to work logicaly.

As i understand it my config should work

http://pastebin.com/VSQiq1uK

but nothing opens in the wrapper? it's all inside kodi. Is there anything obviously wrong here?

Yes i understand that, I didnt mean limited in the sense it's not possible but the quality of playback is better outside of kodi beyond 4k. I can get kodi to play 4k content but it's not as fluent and smooth as the wrapper. It does not seek well either.

It's not just 4k, i tested some audio formats which wouldn't play without the wrapper (e.g. TrueHD Atmos).
