KODI 17 doesnt recognize MX player as external player - whise - 2017-04-11
New kodi 17 doesnt recognize mxplayer as external player.
Older builds <17 all work with MXplayer with the playercorefactory as http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Use_external_players_on_Android
MXplayer hasn't changed but kodi doesnt seem to recognize it so something in kodi must have changed.

No bug just a change. You need to add the video attribute to the xml.

Thank you for your reply, change to the playercorefactory? is it documented?
RE: KODI 17 doesnt recognize MX player as external player - ironic_monkey - 2017-04-12
yes. it was always documented on the wiki, only the requirement is new, see example http://kodi.wiki/view/external_players

Im sorry i dont understand what changed. I use the XML from the wiki and in Kodi 17 it doesnt work with mxplayer

In oher cases bad xml without the video attribute on the player definition has been the problem.

Copy the contents your playercorefactory to pastebin.
I'm also moving this thread as it's not a development question.
