Some additional info:
OMXPlayer is now ”embedded” in DVDPlayer. You now have settings within the GUI to enable/disable different features (under Settings - Video - Acceleration):
• Select omxplayer or dvdplayer automatically
This will make Kodi choose which player to use. OMX (if enabled) will be default except for unsupported formats and DVD´s/ISO´s where DVDPlayer will be used.
• Allow hardware acceleration (OMXPlayer)
Enables OMXPlayer
• Allow hardware acceleration (OpenMax)
Enables DVDPlayer with HW acceleration
To see what player being used, bring up codec info when playing a video:
omx-h264 = omxplayer
mmal-h264 = dvdplayer with hardware acceleration
ff-h264 = dvdplayer withouth acceleration
Any settings in advancedsettings.xml regarding players should be removed.
Also, if you have a custom playercorefactory.xml in your userdata you should edit it (remove anything regarding OMX and DVDPlayer) or remove the file.
