Win HOW TO - Launch MPC-HC/MPC-BE with madVR as an External Player
Hello, I try to use the Netflix plugin and it works perfeclty in Kodi with internal player. But...
I would like to enhance viewing of Netflix with additional video and audio renderers (madVR, DmitriRender, JRiver room correction, ...), hence I need to go through MPC-HC.

So, I try to use it with MPC-HC to open the video stream through the add on's service, but the player says "Failed to render the file".
Settings seems ok since the argument received is something like: http://localhost:7968/manifest?id=81026918 
... and should be the same as the one used by internal player of Kodi whith which it works perfecly well.


I have the same problem with Youtube URLs like "https://r4---sn-cxab5jvh-cg0el.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?expire=1574201891"


I don't understand what's going on. I guess URL must be passed in some specific way to MPC-HC ... or can't be passed as argument.  Can someone help me please?

Thank you in advance!
