External player in kodi
« on: February 25, 2019, 08:22:45 PM »
Hello, I'm trying to configure the external player in kodi but I can not get it.

I want all the videos (they are on a usb disk) to be played with the external player, except the videos shared by samba that I want to be played on the kodi player. 

Now everything is reproduced by the external player. How do I have to edit it?

Code: [Select]
<playercorefactory>
    <players>           
        <player name="SonyVideoPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
            <filename>com.sony.dtv.osat.video</filename>
            <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
            <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
        </player>
    </players> 
       <rules action="prepend">
        <rule protocols="smb" player="dvdplayer" />
        <rule dvdimage="true" player="dvdplayer"/>   
        <rule protocols="rtmp" player="dvdplayer"/>   
        <rule protocols="rtsp" player="dvdplayer" />
        <rule internetstream="true" player="dvdplayer" />
        <rule video="true" player="SonyVideoPlayer"/>
       </rules>
</playercorefactory>

your query appears to relate to an issue with a Sony TV and Kodi?  If this is the case, perhaps you should be asking on the Kodi or Sony forums?

If you do have a HiMedia Q10 or Q5, you should read the FAQ on this forum first and then use the Wrapper settings as there are other threads here specifically about settings for playercorefactory.  You would then change the Kodi file on the HiMedia box, not the Sony TV player's separate Kodi settings.
