retr Wrote:After a couple of hours of trying I still can't get MPC-HC to display my mkv files properly.
I am using the following code:
Code:<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC HomeCinema\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv" player="MPC-HC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
When I open a file, both on a SMB share or local disk, rars or .mkv MPC-HC will display "Failed to render the file".
Files that I playback with MPC-HC launched from the desktop will however playback just fine, so I don't get why this isn't working...
OS: Win7 Ultimate
XBMC version: Rev29334-dx
MPC-HC version: 1.3.1782.0
Help would be really appreciated!
Don't know whether your still struggling with mpc-hc playback, but if you are have a look t this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=70727. I am successfully running mpc-hc as an external player. I don't know a great deal about the specifics, just that it works.
