XBMC with MX player - CIFS and md4 drivers

[bach0405]

Hi,
I managed to use XBMC with MX player through wifi, a HDD connected to my server. The tricky thing was to find drivers which work on ug802 (my version is IBEX ug802+ with finless 1.6 ROM)

I give hereunder the links where you can find the corresponding files :

cifs and md4

You need cifsmanager to mount those drivers (explained in the link, but you can mount them manually with insmod) and mount the HDD.

After mounting the drivers, you can get folders from your HDD recognised as sdcard folders.

The second step is to get a compatible xbmc apk, you can find one here :

after installing the apk, you have to create a playercorefactory.xlm file and insert it in sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata

this file contains the following text :

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name=”MPC-HC” type=”ExternalPlayer” audio=”false” video=”true”>
<filename>com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad</filename>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
</player>
</players>
<rules action=”prepend”>
<rule video=”true” player=”MPC-HC”/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad is for the free version of mx player.


You run xbmc, video, you choose Files, Add Video, Browse, Root filesystem, sdcard and then the name of your folder (which is the one you gave with cifsmanager), and save.

It is not as good as with es file manager coupled with mx player but it is much better than with the xbmc player since mkv files can be played with HW decoding.

May be the cifs driver need to be improved ... but it is far beyond my knowledge ...


Hope it helps

Donno if this is the right thread but here I go: if I have a nas-disc on my network, will xbmc on my mk808 have access to it directly or do i have to apply the mod described in this thread?

Does it matter if the nas has upnp?

Do you just have to install MX player and then one of those apk:s and it will work? No modding or xml file?

Hi,
each time I change of xbmc version, I add the xml file (mentioned in the first post) in the proper folder. Each time I reboot, I have to use cifsmanager to load the drivers and to mount the hdd.

Btw, the last xbmc version is dated november 27th. I have not tested it yet.

Would be great if there is a way to autoload these drivers on boot.

In my 1.4 ROM I did add these KO modules so they are there on boot. the CIFS module does not show up in a lsmod command because it is already in the kernel! So the CIFs install at boot (insmod cifs.ko) is ingnored (doesnt inject) because of this. But as many have said now, it does work on my 1.4 ROM.

Hey Bob!
Do I understand right, is there a way to get cifs working without cifs manager in 1.5a?
