Could it be that you missed the ".exe" without the quotes?

Check your log with debug on (with your favourite editor) and see if the playercorefactory file is recognized and loaded. Take out pot player and see if you have some luck.

Hello, everynyan. Requesting help with the following issue.
 Current behavior: when I select continue watching in Kodi and then close my external player (MPC-HC), Kodi then launches the next episode of a show, thus automatically reopening the video player.
 Desired behavior: I want Kodi not to launch the next episode when I close the player.
 What I tried: writing <playonestackitem>true</playonestackitem> in the XML.
  Why that didn't work: after putting the above line in the XML I am no longer able to launch a video through my external player in Kodi.

Check in settings>player>videos>Play Next Video automatically. External players (wiki) gives an example of "MPC-HC", what's not to like?
Change the rule to whatever you like.. <rule filename=".*720.*|.*1080.*" player="MPC-HC"/> Might want to check that you don't have a queue playing.

Maybe I just couldn't understand you exactly but unfortunately I didn't manage to apply it to my issue. The rule you wrote in your message seems to be filename specific, while I seek to modify the behavior of Kodi with all videos. Please correct me, if I misunderstood you.

Don't know what 'filename' you are referencing, the rule I specified works for me and allows me to utilize 'Play With' in the context menu for any file.

I couldn't find a reference for <playonestackitem>in the advancedsettings.xml (wiki) wiki. Perhaps you are referencing 'moviestacking' to combine multi-part files. In the system>settings>player>videos>play next video has not been tagged. But suspect your issue might have something to do a queue playing. With the video choice page in focus check the left slide-out menu for 'current playlist' hit that... if there is a list, left slide-out again and 'clear'.
