Experimental - accident12123/eversion GitHub Wiki
Most experimental features are disabled by default. Many of them are features that are waiting for changes or fixes in player hardware. Feel free to use and report back your findings to us. I try to keep the known problems up to date.
This feature is very close to not calling experimental but it's minimally tested we so put it in this use with caution experimental status.
- Add your option to esettings.xml
- Follow the format of eversionb2:settings:allev#Exiting and User Buttons
- Name your settings buttonNAME. Use the eversion:eskins:ref:remote#the_remotes_and_their_keys for what the button names are
- example Other_New_1
- Hardware player has first pick on buttons
- Some buttons are used by eversion for cross platform differences
- Any eskin screen using the same button gets the button
- Current global button options will steal the colored+search buttons from you, for now also put your settings in both.
- eskins can block buttons from making it to your options.
FLV Files is a newer option by syabas not heavily used on the players except for some of the internet streaming video apps. Things may dramatically change between firmwares so be careful using this.
- Lightly tested by out team. We aren't completely sure what to expect with long term usage.
- A special player mode is forced to play flash videos. If you have a mix of flash and non-flash files, we aren't sure what happens.
- FLV files might be encoded with different formats (like mkv, avi, etc). The video codec must be compatible with the hardware decoders to see a video on the screen. (H.264 flash 10 video for example).
- FLV is not only hardware decoded. Part of the player CPU is used and how high of a resolution or bitrate you can use depends on your personal setup.
Add FLV to your moviejukebox.properties mjb.extensions setting.
mjb.extensions=AVI DIVX MKV WMV M2TS TS RM QT ISO VOB MPG MOV MP4 M1V M2V M4V M2P TP TRP M2T MTS ASF RMP4 IMG MK3D DVR-MS FLV
`
- If you only hear audio, that file is not encoded in a compatible video format. Check with Mediainfo to make sure.
YAMJ allows you to add trailers and extra urls to videos in NFO files. Tools like Yanfoe and EMM can help you find and add these.
- All the same FLV Video restrictions above apply.
- Site owners may have security restrictions on directly linking to video. Some video may not play even if it works on htpc setups.
-
rtmp:// also supported (we think).
Just like FLV and youtube trailers, yahoo trailers have some needs that flash can't provide. we do our best to stream them but the low end hardware may not be up to the job for high quality videos.
- Add the urls to your nfo files for trailer to add them to your movies.
- Use a site like hd-trailers.net or the hd-trailers plugin for EMM to get the urls.
A special youtube mode in the player allows for the same youtube video playback experience as the App market youtube App. Just add youtube urls into your nfo files.
- Youtube restrictions for geo-targeting still apply.
- Content owners can block tv devices from seeing video even if it works on your phone and computer.
- Ads may appear or even cause the player to not play anything.
If you have a bluray or dvd drive connected to you compatible PCH player (not all models support this) you can enable a special playdisc optin on the home and menu screens of our default evStreamed eskin.
This feature has problems.. After you play a disc, you will not be able to eject it without rebooting (advanced users can umount the disk). Not recommended for family satisfaction reason. This feature is left in because if there is a firmware update you can just turn it on without eversion needing to update.
Add playrom to your esettings.xml file.
<playrom>true</playrom>
- bypassapi: set to true will disable talking to hardware player instead of erroring during ev load
