About XBMC/Kodi Wrapper
In case Kodi doesn't support your HW video decoder or digital audio output properly, but some other video player does, this is your app.
Main functions:
-Mount CIFS or NFS share, and play from there (Low CPU usage, perfect file handling) [Requires root]
-Stream over HTTP (High CPU usage, seek may not always work)
-Replace the samba URL to local file path. (Only if your files are on the same device, e.g. if you have a shared xbmc database and playing on the server. Low CPU usage)
-Re-stream HTTP specially for Allwinner A10 devices HW decoder.
-Map XBMC PVR to TvHeadend Channels, and possibly re-stream. (*/* login for streaming required)
-Use different external player per protocol
-Handle WebDAV videos
A little explanations:
Mount CIFS or NFS share:
Mounts the given share to /mnt/xbmcwrapper (or any other dir you prefer) with busybox, and plays the file from there.
Busybox should be in one of these places: "/system/bin/busybox", "/system/xbin/busybox", "/xbin/busybox", "/bin/busybox", "/sbin/busybox"
For SMB, CIFS support in kernel required. UTF8 iocharset support in kernel recommended.
HTTP-Stream:
With players and Android versions that doesn't support smb/nfs protocol, the wrapper handles the remote file, and streams it through HTTP for the player. This is supported by most media player softwares.
Map XBMC PVR to TvHeadend Channels, and possibly re-stream. (*/* login for streaming required)
XBMC uses its own id's for TV channels(the number before their name), you can set how to remap these to tvheadend channel id's to play in external player.
The syntax is the following:
xbmcid,tvheadendid;xbmcid,tvheadendid;...
On recent tvheadend and kodi versions, you don't need to map channels. Just select TvHeadend as PVR backend, and set the host, and you are set.
Replace URL On-the-fly
If you are using mysql databse, you are accessing even local files over samba, which is a huge overhead. With this tool you can simply replace the samba url with a local file url, thus completely removing this overhead.

Does not work and a complete waste of money. More specifically none of the options would stream a video. After investigating more I came to realize that this program is not even needed and doesn't provide anything worth while to xbmc. I was able to get BSPlayer working flawlessly as an external player through xbmc without other program. SMB also streams perfectly so not sure why anyone would need path or protocol substitutions. Again I am not sure there would ever be a situation that you program would ever be needed or add any value.

Useful app for playing movies in android video app instead of with kodi video player, for instance I use this because kodi doesn't handle my VC1 movies well, and the android video app on Sony X930E allows you to change picture settings while watching video whereas kodi stops. One request if the Author of this app reads this, please set a rule for 4K resolution. Right now all my 1080p movies play in the Android video app, but my 4K movie plays by default in Kodi.
