Kodi and HiMedia-Player

[icerno78]

Since a few days ago i used Kodi 18.,4 with Himedia-Player on my Q5 with Android 7 and HMD 2.0.1.
Due to a Problem with my google Account i had to do a factory reset and i'm running now on the latest HMD 2.1.4.
I used my backup from Kodi and everything is running fine. Even the google Account problem is solved. But strangely i cant get the HiMedia-Player to work inside Kodi.
I double checked the settings in the Wrapper, but Kodi always uses its own player.

Did i forget somewhere a switch to set?

Restoring the older backup from kodi might be the culprit. Try to disable the wrapper, start kodi, exit and re-enable the wrapper.

Tried your advice, but sadly its not working.

Any other idea?
Is there a xml file to look or edit?

[icerno78]

I have read the FAQ again and there is the file "playercorefactory.xml" mentioned.

This is the one which is generated with actual HMD 2.1.4:

<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>

<rules action="prepend">

<!--network protocol rules-->

<rule protocols="http|rtmp|sop" player="VideoPlayer" /> <!--all nfs-->

<!--internet streams rules-->

<rule protocols="pvr" player="VideoPlayer" /> <!--all pvr-->

<rule filetypes="iso|bdmv|mpls|m2ts" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule video="true"  player="Wrapper"/>   
</rules>
</playercorefactory>



Before the update i used HMD 2.0.1 and that was the generated file:



<playercorefactory>
   <players>
      <player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">

   </players>

   <rule filename=".*540.*" player="XBMCWrapper"/>
   <rule video="true" videoresolution="720" player="XBMCWrapper"/>

Can anyone help with this further information?

If you're trying to play from SMB or NFS shares try to modify the network section in the first one you pasted like this:

<!--network protocol rules-->

<rule protocols="http|https|rtmp|sop" player="VideoPlayer" /> <!--all http-->
<rule protocols="nfs|smb" player="Wrapper" /> <!--all nfs|smb-->

Not working
And yes, I want to access a Nas via smb.

But even with mediacenter and a local file on a USB stick the wrapper is not working.

So any further Tips, how to get it working?

[Mount81]

Try to re-activate the Wrapper. See the FAQ how.

[icerno78]

An update for my "Problem".
As often the Problem is infront of the System.
I didnt realized that the User-Interface from the Wrapper-Player changed. And therefore ir thought i was running the Kodi-Player.
So that is sorted out.

But here another question. Is there an Option to never start a Video with activated Subs?

[pcristi]

Default subtitle ON/OFF option are not visible with OFW when HiMediaVideoPlayer is display on English.

A.Set language to CN/DE/FR/RO/RU/VN then will appear.
For example FR(France), after set it OFF can switch back to English.


B. Try to use CFW, then will have it in English too

Option are not apply for previous bookmark(resume) point save it before to set OFF.
