Thank you for your reply. After I set my system locale to chinese, it works, but only after I alt-tab to choose the external player. Is it possible to make it so that it gets focused and no longer need to alt-tab choose it? Also, can you make it so that the external player will quit on media-stop key as well? I'm using remote control and there is no way to enter 'x'. Thank you.

This is currently the limitation of any plug-in that uses external player. In ppstream plugin or similar, it actually launchs the application default player with the vidoe link pass to it.

The player actually gets the focus the very first time it lauches, but to the video display screen and not the application. That is why you need to alt-tab to select the application to take focus. OR using mouse to select the window top panel (if visible) which is a bit tricky especially when the mouse pointer is disabled by the player.

This is the very first problem to use remote to bring a application to focus. Once you can past this, I suppose you can use the remote control to assign a button using a keymapSet.exe to close the player window.

I am also facing the same problem, no choice but to use a remote keyboard right now. Still thinking on a solution - hopefully find one in the near future.
