HOW TO - Launch MPC-HC/MPC-BE with madVR as an External Player
Unfortunately, that guide almost entirely deals with setting up MPC-HC and its component parts; something which isn't a problem for me. My player works fine, and I can play videos selected via file explorer, it's just that Kodi refuses to send the URI to MPC-HC, of whatever media I select - or some other similar reason is preventing the use of MPC-HC as an functioning external player in Kodi. I've again amended my xml with an alternative configuration, but the same thing happens, with a brief screen flicker, as if it tried to do something, but instead did nothing. Here is my latest xml:
Quote:<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\KCP\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}"</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv|mp4|avi|divx|mpg|wmv|flv|ts" player="MPC-HC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
I'm feeling as if I may have to give up on this program, as I can't see any weak point on my part, and I value MPC-HC over a nice library interface. Is there no possible solution to this?- just a random and incomprehensible incompatibility on my system?
Your playercorefactory.xml is wrong. That guide contains a playercorefactory.xml that should be copy and pasted into your userdata folder. I have been using it for over a year and it works fine.
Specifically, your path to the player is incorrect, and your rules section is using incorrect syntax.
