Thanks, sounds like a common problem. I have two PC's and a Laptop. One with version 0.2.3.0 and others with RC1 & 2. All have Matroska and Core AVC and I've loaded QT alternative on all. Tried added .mov as an extension on video's but still same message.

This plugin will be amazing when it works so please see if you can fix this issue. Sounds like something common with many machines.

Hi,

I've updated to the latest QT Alternative codec and klite codec full codec pack (which includes Haali Media Splitter). The same error ossurs. Also, get the same error on another PC with MP installed, so its not limited to my main HTPC either.

Any ideas what the problem is anyone? I really want the trailers plugin to work :0(

Cheers,
Colin

Have you tried to disable haali for .mov files?

Click to expand...

No, how do I do that

Sorry my fault infact haali should even not support .mov container so I don't understand why is involved in your logs.

The Haali splitter certainly supports Apples MP4 containters and in fact my experience is that it's the most reliable splitter for these files. The .mov in the filename is just the file extension.

I'm sharing my bash script solution which runs once a night and downloads any new trailers along with the associated poster art. This script runs on my backend Linux media server but will also work under Windows using Cygwin.

The download directory for the trailers is a share in "My Videos" in my MediaPortal client machine. The posters are displayed in "My Videos" as the thumbnails and when the preview watched I simply delete the file from the MediaPortal My Videos interface.

To script requires bash, xmlstarlet and wget. If you're setting this up to run under windows you will need to install and setup Cygwin.

There are a few setting to adjust. To download the 1080p version of trailers set GET1080=1. If you want to download posters to be used for thumbnails set GETPOSTER=1. SAVEPATH= is the path which the trailers and posters are stored. DLDBPATH= is the path to to store a database file of previously downloaded trailers which is used prevent re-downloading user deleted trailers.

The script will attempt to download 1080p (if enabled and available) next fallback to 720p and finally the 640w versions for anything not available in HD. The script will keep track of the last ~2,500 downloaded trailers so once the trailer and/or poster file is deleted the script will not re-attempt to download the same trailers again. The script will also rename the file .hdmov which is desired when using Quicktime Alternative / QT-Lite.

#
GET1080p=0
#
GETPOSTER=0
#
SAVEPATH="/home/lstepnio/Desktop/"
#
DLDBPATH="/home/lstepnio/scripts/trailers/"

You might also need to change the line with the "xmlstarlet" command to "xml". It seem that some packages differ on the name of the binary for xmlstarlet.

TRAILERS=`xmlstarlet sel --net -D -T -t -m "/records/movieinfo"\

TRAILERS=`xml sel --net -D -T -t -m "/records/movieinfo"\

Thanks for the script, gonna write one in c#(.net) with this as the example

Will share it here when it's finished so that windows users can also use it.

/edit: done, it's a console application with a config file for the folder locations.
Here is the early code i have written, it checks if the folder or file already exists and has a settings.xml file for the folder locations and to select what version to download(hd or normal_hres):

Code:

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

So I think it's possibile to disable it for .mov files by reinstalling it and disabling it for mp4 files.

Possible solution

Apart from the current looks of the gui the basics are already in place. I have "copied" the navigational structure like it is on apple.com/trailers. When you click on a movie title it will discover all the clips linked to the movie (each clip showing multiple qualities from low to 1080p, i filter the ipod format

). The trailers play perfectly up to 480p (some even 720p) on my connection without buffer/download. I don't use the current.xml and current_720p.xml feeds but a combination of the JSON feed and the backend movie specific xmls (with some tricks here and there.. practically no regexp but pure xpath). Currently all the fetching is done on demand (so fetched when needed for display) and then cached for next views (movie files are currently not being cached but that will be a feature soon)

I would really like to know the cause of the fact that some can't play the trailers from inside MP. I want to request the people than CAN play the trailers to post a graph (with graphedit connected to the remote graph of mp when playing the trailer) and their movie codec configurations (as listed in the MP Movies Configuration page).

I have two machines that both play the trailers. One is an test 32bit XP SP3 machine running RC2 with DScaler as the MPEG2 Codec and the second one is a Vista Ultimate 32bit running RC2 with the MPC Video filter (not the MPV!). Both also have Haali Media Splitter and QTLite 2.6.0 installed. I'll will posts the graphs shortly.

edit:

my machines are using the following graphs (listing only relevant part):

VISTA: HAALI MEDIASPLITTER ==> MPC (video) + MONOGRAM AAC (audio)
XP: HAALI MEDIASPLITTER ==> MainConcept H.264/AVC Codec (video) + ffdshow audio decoder (audio)

for the vista machine it's keeping the video codec but using another for the audio part. The xp machine shows that it's not using the setup from mp at al (the codecs on the XP machine are from a Adobe Premiere installation btw).

So my guess is that if you at least register an AAC codec (you should already have MONOGRAM by default) and a codec that can handle the video part like MPC Video Codec it would work.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

So let's first try this:

1 if you don't have it download the MPC Video Decoder Filter: HERE.
(if you already have MPC player you still need to register this codec!).

2 Register the filter using your favorite tool or try these instructions:

Unpack the file MPCVideoDec.ax and place it in a folder.
At the command prompt, register the filter using "regsvr32 <drive:foldername>MPCVideoDec.ax"
for example, "regsvr32 C:\Codecs\MPCVideoDec.ax"

3 If you've done this correctly the "MPC Video Decoder" will show up in the dropdown list from within MP Codecs Configuration screen. You don't have to select it as the default codec because if the default codec you selected can not play the content it will find it automatically.

Test and report good news to me...

Seems that the streaming media connects to pins and references my TV card? I don't understand much about the logs, but thought I would show this comparison incase someone else can see what the problem is.....

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

So let's first try this:

1 if you don't have it download the MPC Video Decoder Filter: HERE.
(if you already have MPC player you still need to register this codec!).

2 Register the filter using your favorite tool or try these instructions:

Unpack the file MPCVideoDec.ax and place it in a folder.
At the command prompt, register the filter using "regsvr32 <drive:foldername>MPCVideoDec.ax"
for example, "regsvr32 C:\Codecs\MPCVideoDec.ax"

3 If you've done this correctly the "MPC Video Decoder" will show up in the dropdown list from within MP Codecs Configuration screen. You don't have to select it as the default codec because if the default codec you selected can not play the content it will find it automatically.

Test and report good news to me...

The link to the MPC file doesn't work :0(

Cheers,
Colin

I would really like to know the cause of the fact that some can't play the trailers from inside MP. I want to request the people than CAN play the trailers to post a graph (with graphedit connected to the remote graph of mp when playing the trailer) and their movie codec configurations (as listed in the MP Movies Configuration page)

How do I do this? I can then post the graphedit screenshots here.

Found this.....

Render URL..? - MSDN Forums

Also if I paste this link into media player classic it plays the stream absolutely fine.....

Pls try downloading the filter here:

SourceForge.net: Files.

Pick mpchc_x86_v1.1.604.0_MPCVideoDec.zip from the list and install it like i described in my previous post.
I am curious if this will fix the problem.

The reason you see your TV card being "touched" is because the method i'm using is checking if tv/radio is on before starting the video but finally resolved to the default .play command LRFalk has mentioned.
