Kodi replays media when using external player (MPC-HC) about plex-for-kodi HOT 27 CLOSED

so i just got a chance to use the new script and its working well! Thanks so much for fixing that issue!

i have a separate unrelated question for you. When using a mouse to control PM4k, its fairly difficult to not "overshoot" and have the UI move to a different tile or category. I wasnt sure if this was just something that i noticed or if there is another way to reduce this issue with a mouse input. Using the keyboard keys works as intended but using a mouse is not easy and i dont notice that behavior when using a mouse with the rest of the KODI interface. Im sure this warrants a separate ticket but i just wanted to ask in case you had any pointers for me. Thanks!

Please post logs with PM4K in DEBUG logging.

I downgraded to Kodi 20.4 and the behavior is the same. I have to stick to Kodi 20.4 nexus bc I have to use plexconnectkodi in order to use my flex for now until we can figure out what's happening with PM4k because PCK only supports nexus. The behavior in Kodi 21 is the exact same as what im experiencing with 20.4 so it should still be relevant.

I'll try and debug this soon. Thanks for the log!

from plex-for-kodi.

you're welcome! I just realized that I might have sent a log with Kodi in debug but not PM4k. I can send another one with both in debug mode shortly

from plex-for-kodi.

All good, the log in fact included PM4K's debug logging. No need for a new one.

PM4K even detects the onPlaybackEnded/Stopped events, but somehow reacts wrongly. I'll have to dig deep to fix this, but I think it should be possible.

ok im glad the first one had the info. Here is another log with pm4ks debug log on. Also, this log shows that I played dune 2, and it exited correctly, then I played dungeons and dragons, and it exited correctly, but then I played the tv show x men 97 and it kept replaying. Not sure if its any more or less helpful but this does show the inherently variability.

Does that only happen to TV shows?

from plex-for-kodi.

No it routinely occurs with movies too. It just happened to do it only on a tv show that time.

There are other times when it’ll be fine on a tv show and not on movies. Or more routinely not fine on either. I havnt been able to get a pattern down right.

This didn’t always happen so I’m wondering if maybe an older version of pm4k might not have this behavior?

from plex-for-kodi.

Sounds like a timing issue. You can try and pinpoint when this started happening if you'd like, by going back versions.

That doesn't really help :D

No worries, though, I'll try and reproduce this. Got a good couple of other things to do before, so it'll take some time.

from plex-for-kodi.

Hmm, does it make a difference whether you stop the playback manually vs letting it run til the end?

Can you post your external player config so I can replicate this? Thanks!

I don't have any issues with this: script.plexmod.zip

playercorefactory.xml:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="mpc-be" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC-BE x64\mpc-be64.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule video="true" player="mpc-be"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Edit: I'm using MPC-BE, but MPC-HE should be the same.

Edit 2: Reuploaded zip. This skips all next() handling when using an external player. This isn't ideal but should fix your issue.

Edit 3: Reuploaded zip

I see that you uploaded a script but i am unsure with what I am supposed to do with it. Can you let me know?

from plex-for-kodi.

You replace the one you have with the folder inside the zip. I'm guessing you've installed PM4K using my repository?

You'll need to find your kodi's addons folder (see here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Kodi_data_folder) , where there'll be a script.plexmod folder, which you can delete and replace with the one contained in the zip file.

from plex-for-kodi.

And no, using mpc-be won't change anything on its own. You need the fix from the PM4K beta I posted.

from plex-for-kodi.

from plex-for-kodi.

Well, it's the addon itself. You're using version 0.7.8 right now, what I've posted is 0.7.9-beta11 with the special handling for external players built in.

Funnily I was able to reproduce your issue every time on my end.

from plex-for-kodi.

0.7.9 final is planned for release in about a week. If you're using my repository (dontpanic), it will automatically update to the final version, even if you install the beta.

Any luck?
