Nothing's vague. Wiki states that playercorefactory.xml has 2 major sections enclosed in the respective tags: players and rules. All rules should be in "rules" section, i.e.:

PHP Code:

<rules action="prepend">
<rule blah-blah-blah />
<rule name="other" protocols="daap|rtv|rtsp|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|rtsp|mms|rtp|pvr" player="DVDPlayer" />
.... and so on
</rules> 


And, of course, the protocol used for your particular streams should be in the list, as it might not cover all existing streaming protocols. Then the rule should work provided there are no syntax errors in the XML code.

Well, this playercorefactory.xml doesn't change the default player for streams to DVDplayer. Only thing I've changed from the default DSplayer install is mediasconfig.xml (http://pastebin.com/C0Ncwr84), and of course some settings in the GUI (e.g. disabled "use system filters").

PHP Code:

<playercorefactory>
 <players>
   <player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
     <filename>C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
     <args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
     <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
   </player>
 </players>

 <rules action="prepend">
  <rule name="other" protocols="daap|rtv|rtsp|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|rtsp|mms|rtp|pvr" player="DVDPlayer" />
 </rules> 
</playercorefactory>
