I love this plugin

But when I stop viewing a film in the middle for example, it don't always ask to play back again from this middle point. I can't explain why sometimes it work and sometimes not.

Now I can explain why sometimes it works => it's when I shut down MP with ALT-F4 when still playing the film then it remembers the last time of viewing (but it's very anoying to have to do this everytime I have to interrupt a film )

Just For Your Info, it works with VLC 1.0.1

I have the same issues as above. It happens on most videos, however the ones it does work on are not limited to a certain extension or anything, rather it seems to hit files randomly. Either a file will work with full seeking and OSD, or it will have no OSD and no seeking whatsoever. I did have to turn off the OSD Option (the first one only) to get the player to work.

I also have the same other problem as Miranda: rewinding simply makes the film slow right down rather than actually go backwards.

I'm using the latest version of the plugin as of today, and VLC 1.0.2.

I am loving this plugin however. There are some files which MediaPortal just would not play, or would play too slowly. I can now play them with this plugin.

Hello all,

I'm using MP 1.1.0b and VLC 1.0.5, is there something I can do to make them work together ?

Actually I cannot configure settings (they are lost), and movies are launched in new VLC window, so it is not working as expected.

Hi i didn't try with 1.10, So it works with VLC1.0.5 & MP1.0.2.
movies are launched in windowed mode because you have troubleshooting with configuration.
could you please send me a log file while you save configuration.

When I first go in the plugin settings, I have an error, I click on continue and then I can configure the plugin, but everything is just blank.
I entered values in first screen, and selected all movie extensions and hit OK.

Here is the .log :

Black screen when playing videos, I can hear the sound but no image
Tried both with and without "full screen" checkbox.

Did you try deactivate OSD in plugin Configuration, there are two checkbox who can be usefull.

Hi,

I have a Mediaportal 1.1.0 RC1 and VLC 0.9.9 installed and i tried to use the VLC 0.9.x External Player plugin but it doesn't work very well.

When I tried to play a video inside the configuration page of the plugin I receive such kind of message :"impossible to find the entry point 'libvlc_medi_player_set_hwnd' in the DLL 'libvlc'."

When I launch VLC executable it works fine.

What should I do to fix the plugin?

Thanks,
