Hi
I am evaluating several different Bluray players (for physical disks only, I don't rip).
Cyberlink is comprehensive, but BOY is it bloated and slow.
At the moment I'm testing the (now completely free apparently) Leawo BR Player, with the following playercorefactory.xml:
If I create a desktop shortcut which points to the EXE and specifies the drive letter, e.g.
"C:\Kodi\Apps\Leawo\Leawo Blu-ray Player.exe" G:\
then any disk will autoplay, skip the intro, and a double-click will put it into fullscreen mode.
Unfortunately it doesn't do that if launched directly from inside Kodi, and it also appears the only command line argument their player accepts is the path/drive letter. But for now I can live with the additional mouse clicks.
The footprint is small, so for now I'm tempted to go with this option instead of paying for Cyberlink but would appreciate any thoughts from the community.
Also, Leawo seems to have "powered by XBMC", so I'm wondering, if this is a sort-of official thing, can it be integrated more natively into Kodi?
