Wrapper issues

[bigb1979]

Hi !

I have issues getting the wrapper to work...

Right after clicking a video file and mark it "play with wrapper (default)" the screen flickers for a sec and jumps straight back to Kodi.

Himedia q5pro Newest firmware kodi 17.6

Any suggestions ?

From FAQ:

 How to reinstall wrapper? Shutdown Kodi. Find wrapper app at My Apps - Wrapper. Select 'use Kodi player'. Exit wrapper app. Run wrapper app again. Select 'use wrapper player'. Exit wrapper app. Restart Kodi.

The problem is that wrapper isn't correctly installed to Kodi.

Make sure Kodi is not running, then run wrapper app and 'enable Kodi player'. Exit wrapper app. Now run wrapper app again and 'enable wrapper player'.

To check that wrapper is installed correctly:

Method 1 (using Q5/Q10 Pro)

- Install a file manager app like 'total commander'.
- 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

playercorefactory.xml should look like this:

Code: [Select]

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

<!--internet streams rules-->

<rule video="true"  player="Wrapper"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

If I want to try Himedia player ( wrapper ) for the network streams i.e addons what should I change here?

Himediaplayer / wrapper is for local files only (attached storage/Samba/NFS)

Ok guys... Thanks for the support.

I made some effort.. Uninstalled KODI. Installed it again. Did exactly what you told me.

Good thing is: When I play a video file with "Play with" and I chose "wrapper". The external player works.... One step further. Thanks.

BUT: Kodi is still the default player.

The playercorefactory.xml is exact as yours.

Any ideas ?

If you are playing from an NFS share the playercorefactory.xml in this thread will solve the problem: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=2145.0

Otherwise, for what file format and from what source is Kodi the default player?
