Due some askings, it´s not perfect, but i think it will work, at least the same way as it was working when using XBMC.

You don´t need to use it, but i think you´ll use it. :)

Now it´s more simple, to apply, because you only need to have two files ... subssuport is already installed in the image.

  1. One for installation using FTP and telnet ... ( copy to stb and install in stb ), it´s the case of the attached file enigma2-plugin-extensions-mediaplayer2_0.61_20150909_all.ipk .
  2. The second one, is the " plugin.py file " of KODI, moded to work the same way as it was working, regarding XBMC.

NOTE: THIS IS ONLY FOR BLACKHOLE 3.0.2 KODI Images

INSTALLATION:

Download the 2 attached files to a folder in your PC ( of your choice ) to a folder a your choice:


/kodi_Mod

1 - FIRST STEP ( copying files needed )
  1. Unzip the plugin.zip file to this folder.
  2. With an Ftp tool upload the file enigma2-plugin-extensions-mediaplayer2_0.61_20150909_all.ipk to the /tmp/ folder in your STB.
  3. Create another folder on your PC to make a copy of the content of: /usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions/kodi folder ... this way you´ll have a copy of your "original files".
Example:

/Kodii_Mod/Origin_Files

2 - SECOND STEP( installation )
  1. Unpack the zip file on the folder where you have downloaded, the plugin.zip to obtain the plugin.py needed.
  2. Copy the obtained " plugin.py " file to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions/kodi folder and overwrite the plugin.py file ...
  3. Using the command line ( telnet ) execute the following command to install mediaplayer2:

Code:
opkg install /tmp/*.ipk

killall -9 enigma2

The next time you execute Kodi launcher, you´ll have Mediaplayer2 as default player in KODI.



In Italiano: ( @Kowalski_68 THANKS ):

Qualcuno di voi mi ha fatto delle domande… , non è perfetto ancora , ma penso che funzionerà , almeno nello stesso modo in cui stava funzionando XBMC .


Anche se pensate che sia complicato, non vi sarà difficile utilizzarlo…


E molto semplice da realizzare, perché avete solo bisogno di avere due file ... subssuport è già installato nell'immagine .


Uno per l'installazione tramite FTP e telnet ... (copia nel SetTop Box e l'installazione nello stesso)


E' il file allegato in enigma2 - plugin- extensions- mediaplayer2_0.61_20150909_all.ipk .


Il secondo , è il " file di plugin.py " di KODI , modificato per lavorare nello stesso modo in cui stava lavorando con XBMC .


NOTA : questo vale solo per Blackhole 3.0.2 Kodi Immagini



INSTALLAZIONE:



Scaricare i 2 file allegati in una cartella sul PC in una nuova cartella:


Esempio /Kodi_Mod



1 - PRIMO PASSO ( copia dei file necessari )


Decomprimere il file plugin.zip in questa cartella .

Con uno strumento FTP caricare il file enigma2 - plugin-extensions - mediaplayer2_0.61_20150909_all.ipk nella cartella /tmp del SetTop Box.


Creare un'altra cartella sul PC per copiare il contenuto di : / usr / lib / enigma2 / python / plugins / extensions / Kodi ... in questo modo avrete una copia dei " file originali " .


Esempio:


/Kodii_Mod/File_Originale


2 - SECONDA Passo (installazione )


Decomprimere il file zip nella cartella in cui è stato scaricato il plugin.zip ed avrete il file plugin.py necessario.

Copiare il file ottenuto " plugin.py " in / enigma2 / python / plugins / estensioni cartella / usr / lib / Kodi e sovrascrivere il file plugin.py ...

Utilizzando la riga di comando ( telnet ) eseguire il seguente comando per installare mediaplayer2 :

Code:
opkg install /tmp/*.ipk


killall -9 enigma2


La prossima volta che eseguirete Kodi , avrete Mediaplayer2 come lettore predefinito in KODI .

...perché non lo mettete di default al prossimo update? ;)

Because, BlackHole 3.0.2 is the most similar image to Vuplus orginal image ... subssuport is already in image ... i can ask for an administrator to put also MediaPlayer2 on the feeds, but Kodi must work with enigma2 Mediaplayer.


Perché,BlackHole3.0.2 è l'immagine più simile all'immagine orginal Vuplus...subssuport è già in immagine...posso chiedere all' amministratore di mettere anche MediaPlayer2 sul feeds, ma Kodi devono lavorare conenigma2 Mediaplayer.

Same issue here. I see video files (avi, mkv, etc.) from my Synology NAS through NFS. I can click them but neither
MediaPlayer2 nor Kodi plays them. Timer on the player show -0.01.

The same movies are played from USB stick without any problem.

Any thoughts?

how do i get kodi on solo2? tried to kodi launcher in BH plugin but nothing is happening and the box just freezers

You must have:

  • an HDD "allways" attached at your Solo2 mapped as /media/hdd

or at least:

  • an usb pen drive mapped as /media/hdd.

NOTE: THIS IS ALL BEFORE PUSH " KODI LAUNCHER "

KODI DOES NOT PLAY THROUGH NAS: SOLVED

I set up Kodi through my Synology NAS using NFS and SMB. It did see the files, I could
browse directories, it downloaded video information, but when I selected a particular
file (avi, mkv, etc.) just nothing happened.
When I copied the file to a USB stick and attached to the VU+'s USB port it did play.

So I thought that it has nothing to do with the file itself, something should be wrong
with how VU+ have access to these files through a NAS server.

It seems that I figured how to solve this issue, at least it does work for me.

SOLUTION

Here is the trick: you have to attach the NAS folder through Root mount. Please read
the detailed guide how it works for me:

1) Setup your NAS to enable NFC or SMB, here is a detailed guide for several NASs:
http://kodi.wiki/view/NFS

2) I use MediaPlayer2, instead of MediaPlayer.

3) Download and Install MediaPlayer2 through Addons from VU+ Main Menu
(Addons > Addons Download Manager >Blackhole Addons Plugin > select and install MediaPlayer 2 from the list)

4) Make MediaPlayer2 the default player for Kodi
Follow the second step in the attached link, to make MediaPlayer 2 the default player for Kodi.
(Copy, the plugin.py files to Kodi's directory to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions/kodi)
http://www.vuplus-community.net/boa...fault-player-kodi-16-1r2-bh-3-0-2-only.28282/
You do not need the first step, because in STEP3 you installed MediaPlayer.

5) Mount your NAS as Root Directory
VU+ Main Menu > Setup > System > Select your network connection (WLAN or LAN)

6) Follow the picture guide to finalize the process: Kodi1.jpg and Kodi2.jpg

Test it with another file, because i don´t have this issues. Normally if you press <5> severall times until you get 4:3 aspect ratio, it will display with Black borders at the top and down, and the video is not stretched.

thank you for responding and trying to help :)
I did try several files and all of them were stretched
pressing 5 displays all the aspect ratios with green text in the upper left corner but without changing any thing in the picture displayed

i tested the same files in Open Blackhole 0.6 via open multiboot and it was the same ( using mediaplayer and mediaplayer2)

tested the same files again in openpli 4 in open multiboot and they played with the correct aspect ratio with black borders above and below the video

update :
in the image A/V settings if i set the " Display 4:3 content as - Just Scale" mediaplayer2 plays my files with Just Scale aspect ratio.
in the image A/V settings if i set the " Display 4:3 content as - pillarbox" mediaplayer2 plays my files with the correct aspect ratio.
changing : "Display >16:9 content as" has no effect on mediaplayer2

and pressing 5 doesn't change anything in all these situations.

Iwith kodi i have some weird behaviour. Mediaplayer2 works fine for some content, but for some other it does not. When I does not work, the internal dvdplayer of kodi displays a proper image, but with no sound. Any ideas? Using latest bh 3.0.2 on vu duo2.
