Because it's trying to open a file called '-fs'. Use the correct command line switches (rtfm?). I also notice kmplayer is slightly retarded in that it reads the commandline switches after the filename, not before, i.e. kmplayer.exe file.ext /fullscreen. So it won't work right now unless you disable the commandline switch completely (<args></args>) and set the parameters inside the kmplayer's prefs directly.

Yes, you have to use /F and, if you want, you can then add /LOCKFS to stop the player from responding to, for instance, the ESC key that would switch from fullscreen to windowed.

Thanks for your help. This is just an update for anybody else with the same problem and does a search for KMPlayer.
I disabled the <args> and set full screen in the KMPlayer options. It still threw up the same error. So I tried dpassent's suggestion of reinstalling KMPlayer in C:\KMPlayer and changed the xml advancedsettings to match, and it now works.
Thanks.

I cannot find this in the thread, but... Is it also possible to automate to only start the external player with certain filetypes and use the internal for the rest?
Like *.avi, internal and *.mkv external?

Obstler, can you share your settings?
I've been trying to get the latest Media Player Classic Home Cinema to work, but it's not launching correctly. It appears to launch, but I'm stuck looking at XBMC. The mouse pointer changes to the MPC pointer and the movie plays (I can hear the audio fine), but the players video and overlays don't show. Pressing Alt-Tab appears to change applications, but I'm still stuck looking at XBMC (ie, even if I Alt-Tab and Windows Explorer is selected, I still only see XBMC).
I tried it with <forceontop> set to true and false but it doesn't make a difference.
My MPC HS (x86) settings:
DirectShow Output set to EVR (required for DXVA support AFAIK)
On Top set to Always
Open Options -> "Launch files in fullscreen" selected
BTW, I'm running on Vista 64-bit and the latest Ati Catalyst.

No, it's not possible.
I specifically need filename filters - i.e. i keep my BD/HDDVD stuff in a "HiDef" fodler, so any file that is played needs to be sent to TMT.
All my stuff is ISO so filename exclusions wouldn't work.

No. If you read through this thread you should find some solutions.

HELP~!
===========My English is very poor, GOOGLE translation,sorry~===============
I come from China
I use the Chinese system WINDOWS.
and, use this SVN :
http://ocs.nl/xbmc/XBMCSetup-Rev16501-kricker-externalplayer.exe
There have been some problems :
Chinese directory and Chinese file names can not support .
But,English directory and file names can support.
Thanks all!

smtdd Wrote:Chinese directory and Chinese file names can not support .
Please turn on debugmode in XBMC, open a file to play with external player, and post your xbmc.log on e.g. pastebin.com. (Hopefully this reverse translates correctly)

JoyMonkey Wrote:Obstler, can you share your settings?
my setup is rather conservative as I tend not to mess with my htpc too much once it works.
win xp pro, sp2
XBMCSetup-Rev16487-kricker-externalplayer (haven't tried the newer builds since that one just worked)
mpc "classic" (the latest official non -hc build)
settings:
mpc: dx9 renderless, d3d surfaces
<filename>c:\mpc\mplayerc.exe</filename>
<args>/fullscreen</args>
I currently don't use /close for checking stuff within mpc, so I close it manually.
hope that helps...

yes. Just like what smtdd said, it seems that the plugin does not support Chinese characters.

Well that's fantastic but unless someone posts their log this problem will never be solved.

log wont really show you anything.
the issue is this (not confirmed but i'm quite sure); we use utf-8 to represent everything internally in xbmc, those apps want msft ansi formatted strings. unicode in windows is really quite the pita. looking at the commits that (tried to) fix the international-char-in-username stuff might be an idea
