Ok. I installed Leia x64 latest nightly. Indeed the playercorefactory function is broken as you described. Also, HEVC for non-UHD crashes Kodi. In the past it didn't.
Everything continues to work perfectly in v.17.6 including the custom playercorefactory I posted for you.
However, I installed Leia x64 to the oldest nightly in the database from November. Everything works as intended except HEVC for non-UHD. The functionality has been broken or removed intentionally somewhere between the oldest nightly and the newest. I have no control over that. Because external playback is not vital or directly related to Kodi, it may or may not be addressed. I don't really know how to simplify this complicated problem to present it to a dev. To replicate would be a lot of setup beyond simply installing Kodi Leia versions.....
