Hi again. Another noob question, sorry. I'm trying to set up VideoPlayer merits rules under the DSPlayer settings so that DSPlayer will be the default player only for 4K HEVC while the regular Kodi player will be used for everything else. I've used the playercorefactory.xml to launch external players in the past so I'm not totally new to this and it appears this is just another way to the same thing through the GUI, however I'm not understanding the basic logic here. Does "VideoPlayer" here refer to DSPlayer or to DVDPlayer (that's still the name of the default Kodi player, right?) -- ie. am I creating a rule for everything DSPlayer will play by default, or am I creating rules for the exceptions that DVDPlayer will open instead? So far I've tried it both ways and DSPlayer still opens everything no matter what I enter.
Treating VideoPlayer to mean DSPlayer (ie. affirmative rule):
rule name: 4K HEVC | file name: *.4k* | video codec: h265 | video button: on
Treating VideoPlayer to mean DVDPlayer (ie. exceptions rules):
rule name: H264 | video codec: h264 | video button: on
rule name: VC-1 | video codec: vc-1 | video button: on
rule name: MPEG2 | video codec: mpeg 2 | video button: on
As I said, either way I try it's still opening DSPlayer for everything. So which is the right approach and what am I missing?
