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_externa...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?
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.

I am following the exact xml found in http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Use_externa...on_Android

Could you please post a working example xml for mxplayer?

thanks again
Copy the contents your playercorefactory to pastebin.

I'm also moving this thread as it's not a development question.
