I still plan on compiling those custom versions for playback resume.

By the way, what I did with EventGhost... I am going to explain it probably in @brazen1 discussion on external players. But it's quite complex for "regular" users, I fear. So my experiments were more of a... I don't know how to say it. I will describe what I have done and I hope you could manage to get it working without so many workarounds.

Edit: forgot to ask, the decision to work with MPC-BE stems from it being still under development, compared to MPC-HC which, if I understand correctly, has simple "maintenance" releases? Or is there something specific that MPC-BE does that you think will prove useful in the scenario we are interested in (ie. as a Kodi external player)?
