Make XBMC to play the format/extension *.ts.001

[Stefan84]

Hi,

I stream my recorded videos from my sat-receiver. The Receiver splits the records every 2 Gb. The first file always has the extension *.ts and is played well (the mplayer plays them when I choose them in the GUI) . The following files have the extensions *.ts.001, *.ts.002 etc., and I can´t watch them becuase they seem not to be assosiated with the mplayer. Where can I configure this fileformats to be played with the mplayer (in the video area of the xbmc).

Help would be nice, Stefan :)

AFAIK you can add these extensions yourself in the XML somewhere...

Also did you enabled stacking? Maybe it already supports these filenames?

[Stefan84]

Well. I just saw that the extension *.001 is support by default. The extensions *.002, *.003 etc can be added by creating a "AdvancedSettings.xml" in the UserDir (Wiki helps). The *.001 files are shown in the XBMC Gui, but when I klick them they don´t start. There symbols in the Gui is a directory- not the videosymbol. They seem not to be assosiated with the mplayer. Even if I choose "play file" in the menu theay aren´t played. Any idea?

Sorry, I would correct the mistakes in my last post but "You may not edit your posts"

*.001 is going be processed is if its a rar file. if its not, it wont play unless you change the extension.

i did put in a workaround for this. was it removed?

[kraqh3d]

maybe. i actually dont recall there being a workaround specifically for .ts.001.

[spiff]

well i do :)

i had to be really convinced the last time before i agreed to add this hackish workaround. i probably removed it on accident when i moved stuff to the filedirectory classes.

edit: yep that's what happened. will restore the workaround tonite.
