External player in XBMC

Hi all, I am testing playback of hdd files and internet files (from pelisalacarta). With internal player, I have problems because the video runs so slowly and without sound in internet streams (also hdd video files run slow with internal player), so I have changed the playercorefactory.xml adding these lines :

<player name="E2Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="true">
<filename>xbmc.helper</filename>
<args>--url="{1}" --owner="$PPID"</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>

With this lines I can play videos with E2player but I don't like it. Do you know if we can use other external players (for example EMC player) or what's happen with internal player?

EMC is Enhanced Movie Center, a mediaplayer plugin for enigma2, like Advanced Movie Selection. I talk about these because are enigma2 mediaplayers, but if we can use other external players let me know.

Enigma2 MediaPlayer2 upgrade from version 0.57 to version 0.58 ( 04-03-2015 )

Version 0.58

fixed GS on "Add files to playlist" introduced by 0.57 version
fixed GS on DMM merlin images
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.57

don't interfere with standard mediaplayer

We were intentionally removing standard mediaplayer from main menu and replacing it with mediaplayer2 if setting "replace default mediaplayer in main menu" was enabled. Better way is to only add option to just show mediaplayer in main menu without removal of standard mediaplayer from it. Standard mediaplayer has its own setting to be removed or shown in main menu, so no need to do this from other plugin.

allow open plugins from extensions menu (blue button)
Now it's possible to open any plugin which is added to extensions menu, while in mediaplayer2
added possibility to change media-framework when available - by Micky GMouse
you can switch between eplayer3/gstreamer in settings if you're using image which supports it
updated Polish translations - by Micky GMouse
make play/pause work consistently across images

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The links were not valid anymore, so I updated them (mediplayer2 here is version 0.57 not 0.58).

I had to uninstall mediaplayer1 and subsdownloader or else subsupport wouldn't work.

After that everything works fine, to call up the subtitle menu in mediaplayer2 just press the subtitle key in the remote.

Cheers!

How to acess menu and submenus on MediaPlayer2 regarding subtitles XBMC:

Controls
  • ZOOM/5 - change aspect ratio of the screen
  • RIGHT/LEFT - increase/decrease subtitles delay
  • INFO(I) - when pressed in file/play list, it shows info in CSFD plugin
  • SUBTITLES/TEXT - shows subtitles menu
  • TV - refreshes subtitles position
  • 0 - mark position
  • NEXT(>) - go to next mark if available/go to next item in playlist
  • PREVIOUS(<) - go to previous mark if available/go to previous item in playlist

The Subtitles key is only avaiable when in playing mode --> i.e. you must plut the video playing, upon this press the Subtitle/Text Key on your remote.

Enhanced Movie Center with Subsupport ( Subtitles )

Now you can try also ENHANCED MOVIE CENTER with subtitles support instead of MEDIAPLAYER2

EMC is based on latest source from https://github.com/betonme/e2openplugin-EnhancedMovieCenter + added support for subssupport

You´ll need to install this 3 plugins attached to your STB, to make it possible to use Enhanced Movie Center as external player on XBMC, you´ll have to upload by ftp to your STB the file *** plugin.py *** to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/XBMC.

This > plugin.py < is modified to make ENHANCEMOVIECENTER, your default player on XBMC.

Note: You must unpack the plugin.zip file and ftp the file inside to your STB


HELP --> HOWTO ACESS SUBTITLES SUBMENU:
==============================

HELP --> SHOW SUBTITLES MENU
TEXT --> REMOTE KEY
SUBTITLES -> REMOTE KEY
BLUE KEY - CHANGE DELAY OF SUBTITLES
