Android 7 / Kodi 17+ wrapper settings (playercorefactory)

[Eriol]

Sadly detection still not perfect so I added a new line to make sure SD played by wrapper:
<rule filetypes="avi|mkv|mp4|wmv|mov|mpeg|asf|webm" player="Wrapper" />

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">

For me it doesnt work. All DVD iso's will play with the wrapper as standard and ive tested different dvd iso's.

Ok... then try this:

Code: [Select]

I didn't include non-dvd mpeg2 coded exceptions.
If someone thinks that's a requirement, I try to add it.

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 But from other reasons I wouldn't install it just for occasional DVD playback.

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

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..

Afaik that's cannot be done.

[futeko.com]

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.

Excellent point!

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" />
