Now I just need to resolve my Kodi + DVDFab "External Player is Active" issue.
 luci5r,

If you are using Kodi Leia ninghtly, there is an issue with the playercorefactory.xml.  It has been acknowledged by the Kodi devs (PatK in the External Players thread) and is not solved yet.  In my case, the issue I have is that once I play a movie with any external player, all movies are played with that external player until i restart Kodi.  That is the main reason I switched back to Kodi 17.6, where the playercorefactory.xml works as intended.  I bring this up in case it is related to the issue you are having.

Regards,

Bart 
 Hi Bart,

Yes, I'm aware of that issue - that happens on my end also. The thing of it is, It's just not very common for us to watch a movie in an external player, and then in another player. It's a rarity. If it perchance we do need to watch something after watching a movie in PowerDVD, in a different media player, all it takes is 2 button-presses on the remote. Close kodi. Restart kodi.

So to be honest with you, it hasn't amount to be an issue where I would need to downgrade v18 to v17.6. Outside of this PCF issue, I'm actually quite happy with Leia. For me, personally, it seems to work better then 17.6. 

My problem - as of day before yesterday (I didn't get a chance to test last night w/ DVDFab v3) - is that Kodi is absolutely refusing to open anything in DVDFab. Even if after a fresh start of Kodi I try to play something in DVDFab (without launching PowerDVD or anything else). I get a "External Player Active" notification on top and an "Ok" button, but DVDFab never launches. 

If I can resolve that, I actually don't see the need to switch v17.6 right now. I don't mind quitting & starting Kodi after an external player launch to watch a second title. It just doesn't happen very often.

Thanks!!
