I've made a lot of progress but I have a basic flaw I just can't seem to find. My setup is W10 w/ Kodi 17.6. I have bluray ISOs, 3D ISOs and 4K UHD ISOs on an Emby server. I was having trouble getting the Nvidia 3D Stereoscopic to toggle automatically between 3D and non-3D. It's supposed to be toggling but it doesn't under my system. I've run through several drivers. So I need to set up the switch to manually toggle Stereoscopic off for 2D and on for 3D with the "nvstlink.exe /enable and /disable" commands. I also have a handful of bluray folders. I can reconvert them and have been slowly but there's still a few scattered. .mkv for TV episodes stay internal Kodi.
So far I am working with 2D (though I've not been able to test 2D to 3D and back toggle because 3D batch file isn't working - it's not finding the player.) Internal mkvs are staying in Kodi. But 3D & .uhd files are not finding the player due to what I believe is some flaw in my filename / filetypes in playercorefactory.
What I notice in the logs is that for the 2D iso I see a line that says "20:41:59.440 T:7584 DEBUG: CWinEventsWin32::WndProc: Focus switched to process C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD17\PowerDVD.exe" and since 2D works well I'm quite sure the problem is with the filenames. in both the 3D and UHD attempts to play, no such line exists in the Kodi logs. I've played around with different variations of playercorefactory and this is what I've got now for the results detailed above. I've been through the playercorefactory wiki and I'm missing something simple I'm pretty sure. If I need to post more details I have them but I thought I'd be concise considering I think I'm on the right path and just need a bit more of a push to get these players found.

these are cut and paste from 3 different kodi logs. I do notice the single apostrophe is missing and the forward and backslashes are different in the filenames that don't work.
PS I realize there's an excellent guide that has been successful for many, many folks over the how-to section for completely setting this up, but those setups just haven't worked here as far as the auto 2d-3d thing so I'm at the point where I want to branch off and figure this out on my own
