A Little Help Please - LonghornDude08 - 2011-12-25

I followed all directions. I have XBMC and MakeMKV installed. I installed the plugin. I went into the plugin's settings and pointed to the makemkvcon executable. When I choose play, it freezes and then a dialogue box pops up a little while later saying that "MakeMKV console application has stopped working." Help would be greatly appreciated. For what it's worth, I got streaming to work through MakeMKV and VLC player.

I forgot to include this, but I'm running 64-bit Windows 7

Playing a disc or a file? What does the logfile say?

- LonghornDude08 - 2011-12-25

Blu Ray disk. I'm not sure which log file you are talking about or how to look at it. XMBC just freezes and MakeMKV goes through the whole "____ has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution" and then you choose whether to Debug or close the program.

What happens when you run this from a command prompt?

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\makemkvcon.exe" stream disc:0

- LonghornDude08 - 2011-12-25

MakeMKV v1.7.0 win(x86-release) started
Failed to open disc

And MakdMKV stops running again

- LonghornDude08 - 2011-12-25

I tried ...disc:1 and it seems to work. Any way to change this in XBMC?

- magnetism - 2011-12-25

Requires a plugin update. Do you have two optical drives?

- LonghornDude08 - 2011-12-25

yeah, I kept my non blu ray drive so I have 2

- magnetism - 2011-12-25

Ok quick fix is to change the addon source. Somewhere in there it says disc:0, change that to disc:1 and it will be fine.

I'm actually finally looking at this plugin again right now (christmas, you know lots of time... Smile

)

- LonghornDude08 - 2011-12-25

Sounds awesome. Thanks for all your help Smile

Ok, test version available here:

http://www.bultsblog.com/plugin.makemkvbluray-1.1.zip

and it's on github https://github.com/abultman/plugin.makemkvbluray

let me know how that works out.

Tried the 1.1 version on Linux with 1.7.0 on Dharma 10.1, got the following:

Looking at http://docs.python.org/library/tempfile.html it appears that the "delete" parameter was added in Python 2.6, but by default Dharma/10.1 builds against a bundled version of Python 2.4.
