I just started using XBMC on my new HTPC, been using XBMC on my XboX ever since it came out, so it was a logical choice really
But I would like to use Mediaplayer Classic, so I found this thread.
I (at least I think I did) followed all the steps needed to use MPC, but it still wont work.
I've installed XBMCSetup-Rev17368-jester-ext.exe and put an advancedsettings.xml in the userdata folder AND I tried the profile folder (documents and settings)
<advancedsettings>
<video>
<defaultplayer>externalplayer</defaultplayer>
</video>
<externalplayer>
<filename>c:\program files\mplayerc.exe</filename>
<forceontop>true</forceontop>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>false</hidecursor>
</externalplayer>
</advancedsettings>
In XBMC the internalplayer is still default, and MPC does not start.
In the logfile I see this:
22:05:15 T:1620 M:1649270784 NOTICE: CExternalPlayer::OpenFile: G:\Episodes\IT Crowd S03\the.it.crowd.s03e03.ws.pdtv.xvid-river.avi

Which looks like it does not use the advancedsettings.xml file ... and I'm at a loss here
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers in advance.
