View Full Version : [RELEASE] XbmcExternalPlayerController Application for Windows
XbmcExternalPlayerController
For Windows only!
Explication on how it works:
This application is a preconfigured package of multiple open source video players.
When xbmc launch the external player the application will locate your keymap.xml and
parse every key you got from the <global> and <FullscreenVideo> node in the keymap and will
hook them to the player. This version only have the keyboard function working. But im planing
on adding the joystick and remotes key too.
In this version only those keys are working for this version
-play
-pause
-stop
-volumedown
-volumeup
-mute
-stepforward
-stepback
-smallstepback
-smallstepforward
-bigstepforward
-bigstepback
Only Media Player Classic - Homecinema is integrated in the package
Im planning on adding
Media Player Classic - Homecinema http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123537
mplayer http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html
vlc http://www.videolan.org
and maybe smplayer if i get a lot of request for adding it into the package.
Instructions:
You need to set modify your advancedsettings.xml. If you dont know what is this file goto http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Advancedsettings.xml
you have an example of how the file should looks like in the Instructions directory.
Everything else is handled by the application. Its locating the keymap.xml on his own.

tiben20 can you upload the version for tmt3 and virtual clone drive?
Moved to windows - as it is windows only
@BoLzI:Are you trying to use it when xbmc is running.This application is only made for the use of xbmc external player.
@csmcdem:For tmt3 That would be a big peace of code since i have no clue how i could match the keymaping for tmt3. And i was planning to only make this for free external players.
and to let everybody know im currently building the mplayer branch of this application
http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7497/playeryip.th.jpg (http://img16.imageshack.us/i/playeryip.jpg/) you actually cant see the video pictures becasue its a print screen but you see the design of the osd. Which for now is working great only need to fix some fix with seeking when you click on the progress bar. And some behavior with mplayer stdout. It appears that you dont have the same decimal . for every country some use , and some others use a dot.!
May I suggest you consider GOMPlayer is by far the best player I've seen in terms of video quality and format support.
I run XBMC and when i want to watch a movie my external Player (MPC_HC) should get started and then the error log is shown.
May I suggest you consider GOMPlayer is by far the best player I've seen in terms of video quality and format support.
... not likely a true statement
Considering every player that uses 3rd party codecs, unless they screw up something and they degrade the video, will look exactly the same since they should not be touching the video output at all.

i was talking about the one you gave to jondr13 at this post:
http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?p=348546#post348546
it's no longer on mediafire
thanks
@Livin: I started with mpc-hc because you have the dxva renderer with this one which if you have the video card to handle it a really good media player
@csmcdem:oh i see ill make some work on it when i have the time. I didnt know some people were interested in updates of this application
tiben20,
you probably meant that @ to mfsav2 - I use mpc-hc myself daily.
QUESTION: are you planning to make this a patch for XBMC and submit to SVN?
I hope you do... this would be a great addition as native code that could have 'plug-ins' to handle 3rd party players.
I think you are on a great track here!
@Livin Its just a .net application which use the xbmc external player.
I was thinking about making some modification to the externalplayer of xbmc to make possible the use of WM_COPYDATA. This would make possible to parse information from the .net external player extension too xbmc. This would be a nice piece of code to make this possible. Ill give it a try and see if i got the skills to make this possible!

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

yep, the link in that post doesn't work, but this does. thanks for a working one
Livin the error is related to the loading of your keymap.xml. Their a modification in it which my application cant handle. Can you send me by pm the code of your keymap.xml so i can test it and fix the behavior in my application

Please get in touch with Eli or jmarshall as soon as you have some code to share before it might go in the wrong direction.
Hey wiso you ever tryed to compile ffmpeg with --enable-avisynth and try a to launch the .avs script from xbmc
DirectShowSource("yourfile.avi",fps=30,audio=true,video=true)
This is weird i got the sound working but not the video

Nope. Even though I'm developing for windows I'm not an expert there :;):
