I have the upated TVAddon app. I have inserted a playercore file that I found on here that has a list of several players with the default rule protocols at the bottom being set up for LocalCast. I have changed the player to be MXPlayer if a player is not in the list.
My question is can the playercore file be set up that when you click on a movie or link that a list pops up asking you from a list of players what you would like to use. I'm not always streaming and would like the option to be able to choose say MXPlayer to watch on my tablet instead of using LocalCast to stream to a TV without having to go in and change the playercore file each time

Thanks

I have the same problem
Accordimg to everyone and the docs there is supposed to be a contrxt menu item called "play using". I cant get it to appear no matter whst I do.
I removed the rules at the end of the playercore file and had two external players. This still did not work. No play using appeared.
It just used internal player

I am using nightly build on samsung tablet.
See my other post roku and kodi.

i have the same issues .... kinda

i have listed all the players that id like to use in playercore file, and played extensively with the rules ..

i CAN see the " play with/using " option when right clicking on a item ..
it DOES show the players i listed in the playercore file

but no matter what i seem to do, i cannot get it to let me choose

whatever player is set default at the bottom of playercore file, always plays even if i select a diff player from the "play with/using "list

if i disable the rules by:
" <!-- " comment the rules it always uses internal default player even if i choose otherwise ..

i see the idea of listing diff players for diff tasks but i dont need all that .. i just want to be able to pick one or the other per use and use internal for default
it seems this negates the point of the context menu ... why bother listing " play with " if it just ignores it and uses the specified player in the rules ..

im prob missing something .. but id like the option ..
i dont want to have to edit the file every time i want to use a diff external player vs. internal.


somebody please help !!!
