Hi,

I'm having an extremely frustrating problem which I hope you can help with. I have set up media player classic (latest version, following THIS guide). When opening .mkv files in MPC, they run as intended.

When I use XBMC to play .mkv files, they play fine as well.

When I use this script to launch an external player:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="mpc-hc" type="ExternalPlayer">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\Media Player Classic - Home Cinema\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>

<rules action="prepend">
<rule name="AllVideo" video="true" player="mpc-hc"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

MPC opens, but then says "failed to render file".

At first, I thought it was being directed to the wrong type of file (some fanart or something) by xbmc. However, after deleting everything except for the .mkv file in a movie folder, this error remains.

Any idea what's going on?
