I'm building my HTPC tonight and wanted to inquire about installing MPC-HC so I can bitstream the HD audio to my Denon receiver. I read the Wiki, but I've also seen around the forums that some of it hasn't been updated. Then I stumbled across this Guide that is a little more recent.
Can someone look at my steps below and make sure I'm going about this the right way? This is for a Windows Ultimate x64 installation
If that's correct, I was going to use this as my playercorefactory.xml file. I only want it to play BD rip files (.m2ts). Everything else will be played by the native XBMC player.
Is this right?
