MX Player plugin request. #675

Open Ordval opened 9 years ago

Ordval commented 9 years ago

Would it be possible to make a plug-in for MX Player streams (?), now they may open but freezes immediately.

Works fine here.

So how did your link/ path look ?

Nothing special, just added hls:// infront of the URL you posted. You may want to try another player, it worked fine with mpv for me at least.

VLC is such a default player for me so I’m not even thinking in terms of other players. Tried: MPV (both) ->(Failed to start player [Process exited prematurely] ), PotPlayer but worked only once, RealPlayer Cloud, Simple Player, QuickTime, fhe latest free WinAmp, WMP.

I will put up an Issue on the VLC Forum.

Seems to be an issue with VLC. I have tested it with two different media players: MPC-HC and VLC. First I tried to play the stream directly with both media players. No problems so far with MPC-HC, but with VLC the video freezes immediately. VLC output log shows:

core warning: early picture skipped
core debug: discarded audio buffer

Same happens when I try to watch the stream with Livestreamer and VLC. Video freezes immediately and Livestreamer shows some error messages:

I’ll get back to this one. Should I want to keep VLC as the default, is it just to specify [C:\Program Files\Video\MPC-HC\mpc-hc.exe] after “best” ?

ghost commented 9 years ago

You can use VLC as default player and specify another player (e.g. MPC-HC) by using the -p option.

Ordval commented 9 years ago

Yes it really does play with MPC, but do you have any tip on how to use it with a VGA monitor ?

I’ve seen that there are some image controls under Options -> Miscellaneous but it’s not enough. Perhaps downloading a mpeg2 but which one/-s ? It’s lighter to download just the needed ones than a whole K-lite pack.

I’ve searched earlier on how to adjust VGA -monitors but come to no conclusion.
