You're starting to lose me?
I have just discovered the PCF.xml will NOT honor the rule to use MPC-BE as the default player for all .mkv files. I have no use for that rule and have never used it. But, I did create the rule for you and tested it. It doesn't work properly so I suggested you use MPC-HC instead which I also tested with your rule requirement and can confirm it IS working properly. There is nothing for me to fix other than suggest a similar working player for what you want to do. I assume this is either a KODI problem or an MPC-BE problem. Since MPC-BE can still be assigned manually AND it still defaults correctly for other file types, I will keep it installed and continue using it as desired. You don't have to since your requirement is simplistic.
The PCF.xml DOES honor the rule to use MPC-HC as the default player for all .mkv files so you will need to install MPC-HC. You do not have to install or do anything else except adjust MPC-HC settings just as you did with MPC-BE. You can delete the MPC-BE program or keep it. The choice is yours. Since the custom PCF.xml I updated for you does not include MPC-BE (it was replaced with MPC-HC) it won't be included in your player selections so it would be logical to uninstall it unless in the future you advance and realize a need for it as another additional player (in which case you'll need a new PCF.xml). MPC-HC comes with LAV Filters when you install it. They will not be the most recent. It is possible to update them by coping your LAV Filter x86 programs files and overwriting them into your MPC-HC program install. You probably will not need to fwiw.
