+--- Thread: Differences between player and python xbmc.player? (/showthread.php?tid=7992)
- funkyfoo - 2004-12-07
hi all,
i've recently wrote some scripts that use the python xbmc.player().play(url) to play avi files from a webserver. this doesn't work, it starts buffering and then hangs after the message "avi file format detected".
however, when i upload a .strm file to the xbox linking to an avi file, it works just fine. so my question is, is there a difference between the players or the way they are handled?
thanks!
