Thread: List and comparison of available Video/DVD player plugins

Hi guino,
as written in the PM I sent to you, I can't manage to have native VLC working on RR.
It seems to work in all function except for the PLAY FF and REW function!
It doesn't work also with the default skin...
:P
Here you'll find the screenshot how it appears...

P.S.:the fullscreen problem was related to the visualization... some resize and it goes well.
I'm sorry for asking you the same problem of the one sent with the previous PM.. but probably other users could have the same problem.

ok solved... problem doesn't exist...
VLC 1.0.1 works...
(I had the version suggested for the external plugin... :P)

Each player has different support.. but VLC doesn't provide any DVD commands from through the SDK, so RR can't use any either -- you can navigate the DVD through the MENUS of the DVD itself. I honestly don't know if that's your question, but you were not very specific about which player and type of commands (if RR command, or a player command).

There are no commands for VLC for those functions -- but sendkey "might" work (don't really know).

That bug with MPC has been identified and fixed for the next release -- it only happens on some machines, but you can pm me with your email so I can send you an updated MPC player. There's no issues with the other players.

I have a problem though (mplayerc):
I call the video_player.skin with the command "VIDEO". The videos.m3u gets loaded and it resumes the last video and its last position (one istance of mplayerc.exe)
I call the video_browser.skin with the command "LIST". The browser appears. I select a video with the command "SELECT"
RR leaves the browser screen. I'm back on the player screen, the video is shown. But the previous video is still playing in the background. There are now two instances of mplayerc.exe.

Windows 7Pro, but also happens in compatibility mode for WinXP SP3.

I am using the media player classic for my videos but from some reason now, after a movie is playing for ~10 minutes or so, I get an mpcvidrr out of range script error on the video player skin in DFX4.0. After the error, I can not click on any buttons or go back to the menu screen. I have to end task mpc. I have never had this happened before for mpc. I use mpc for videos and dvds.

RR 11/1 release
DFX4.0 release
Attach debug and rr.ini

Yes it happens with any video that I play but I have not tried a different player yet. I will try that next.
