I use TVMC for streaming online content on my android mobile and android tablet. TVMC is a flavour of the XBMC Kodi build. TVMC is basically Kodi with all the best plugins/addons pre-installed.
I initially downloaded Kodi but felt overwhelmed at the amount of reading/searching I had to do to find the best plugins to steam content. TVMC comes with everything included and is basically plug and play!
##Casting from android mobile/tablet to chromecastThere doesn't seem to be a built in way to cast from TVMC to a chromecast but there is a hack!
The XML-based filter component should implement the XFilter interface. The service com.sun.star.document.ImportFilter describes a generic import filter. The core of the service is provided by the interfaces XImporter and XFilter. // Obtain the service factory uno::Reference.

Hello man can you shear with me the your player core factory.xml file you for casting xbmc with localcast to Chromecast.tnx. To Chromecast using LocalCast. The PlayerCoreFactory.xml file download link as well as links for. I use PowerDVD as an 'external' player under Kodi and integrate the player there via the file playercorefactory.xml. That worked great with. Download The Core Media Player 4.11: fast downloads for latest versions of The Core Media Player.

####Step 1.Download a casting app for your device. I use AllCast
You could us a different casting application such as LocalCast
####Step 2.Download the playercorefactory.xml file which is part of this repository.
This file is already set up to cast using the AllCast app. If you want to change it to a different app for casting, just edit the bottom part of the file. You will need to substitute the 'Allcast' key with the name of the casting app which you want to use.
####Step 3.You will need to find the TVMC installation directory on your device. We will copy the file above to a certain directory. On my Samsung S5 the directory we need can be found at:
/sdcard/Android/data/ag.tvaddons.tvmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/
Copy the playercorefactory.xml file to the directory above.
I use an app for directory navigation and for copying files:ES File Explorer
Note: When using a file explorer app the above directory includes the hidden directory '.xbmc'. Some file explorer apps will not show this directory by default. ES File Explorer has a 'show hidden files' button which shows hidden files! You will need to turn this on in order to find the correct directory.
####Step 4.Restart your TVMC app.
####Step 5.Select content to stream, choose AllCast when prompted to choose a player, select your chromecast and sit back and relax!
###Tips and tricksIf the playercorefactory.xml file exists in the directory above, everytime you attempt to stream content, the AllCast app will be opened. If you want to view the content on your device only you will need to remove the playercorefactory.xml file from the above directory.
If I want to watch content on my device I rename the playercorefactory.xml file in the 'userdata' directory and restart TVMC. I usually just add a letter to the '.xml' part to be 'playercorefactory.xmlt'. If I want to use AllCast for streaming again I rename the file to be 'playercorefactory.xml' again.
I plan on writing a simple android app for this at some stage but using ES file explorer works ok for now.
A file with the XML file extension is an Extensible Markup Language file. They are plain text files that don't do anything in and of themselves except describe the transportation, structure, and storage of data.
An RSS feed is one common example of an XML-based file.
Some XML files are instead Cinelerra Video Project files used with the Cinelerra video editing program. The file holds project-related settings like a list of past edits made to the project as well as paths to where the media files are located.
Many programs open XML files, including Code Beautify's Online XML Viewer and some web browsers. There are several popular programs that can edit XML files as well.
Some notable free XML editors include Notepad++ and XML Notepad 2007. EditiX and Adobe Dreamweaver are a couple other popular XML editors but they are only free to use if you can manage to get a trial version.
Keep in mind, however, that just because an XML file can easily be opened and viewed, it doesn't mean that it'll do anything. Lots of different types of programs use XML as a way to store their data in a standard way, but actually using an XML file for a specific purpose requires that you know what that particular XML file is storing data for.
For example, the XML format is used for MusicXML files, an XML-based sheet music format. You could certainly open one of those XML files in any text editor to see what sort of data is there, but it's really only useful in a program like Finale NotePad.
Since XML files are text-based files, any text editor, including the built-in Notepad tool in Windows, will be able to properly display and edit the XML file's contents. The dedicated XML editors mentioned above are better for editing XML files because they understand the file's structure. A standard text editor isn't quite as easy to use for editing XML files.
However, if you want to go that route, see our Best Free Text Editors list for some of our favorites.
Cinelerra Video Project files that use the XML file extension can be opened with the Cinelerra software for Linux. The program used to be split into two, called Heroine Virtual and Community Version, but they're now combined into one.
If you still can't open your file, make sure you're not confusing it with a file that just has a similar file extension name, like an XMP, XMF, or ML file.
The best solution to converting an XML file to another format is to use one of the editors mentioned already. The program that's creating the XML file is more than likely able to save the same file to a different format.
For example, a simple text editor, which can open a text document like XML, can usually save the file to another text-based format like TXT.
If you're looking for a quick solution, you can try the online XML to JSON Converter from Code Beautify. That tool lets you convert XML to JSON by pasting the XML code into the website and then downloading the .JSON file to your computer. You can also browse your computer for the XML file or load one from a URL.
Of course, an XML to JSON converter is only helpful if that's what you're after. Here are some other free online XML converters that might be more useful for you:
Here are some free converters that convert to XML instead of from XML:
You cannot usually change a file extension (like the XML file extension) to one that your computer recognizes and expect the newly renamed file to be usable. An actual file format conversion using one of the methods described above must take place in most cases. However, since XML is text-based, renaming the extension might be helpful in some situations.
XML files are formatted with tags, similar to other markup language files like HTML files. You can see an XML sample file on Microsoft's website.
Since Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft has been using XML-based formats for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, indicative in their respective file formats: .DOCX, .XLSX, and .PPTX. Microsoft has an explanation on the benefits of using these XML-based file types.
Some other XML-based file types include EDS, XSPF, FDX, SEARCH-MS, CMBL, APPLICATION, and DAE files.
W3Schools has lots of information on XML files if you're looking for a detailed look at how to work with them.
