Unfortunately xbmc doesn't allow that degree of control (if it were just looking at the file extension, it would be easier, but you do have to open the player to parse the file to make this decision).
There is a long term plan to merge omxplayer and dvdplayer, which may make automatic switching like this possible, but that won't happen for a long time and will involve refactoring a lot of dvdplayer code which may be hard to get accepted.

I totally understand about having to parse the video to decide on the encoding type and the desired player. That makes total sense.

If it's possible in this build to do it by the file extension of the container (e.g. not the actual encoding of the video stream inside the container), then please let me know. Either way, I'm quite pleased with this build and plan to stay on it for a while.

Thanks.
