Does it work without your playercorefactory.xml installed? Anyway it would be nice if you switch to estuary and turn off all the skin helper stuff for testing, as that makes reading your log a PITA.

Did this get solved? I can get stuff to play, but have to choose the Kodi Player (from a contextual menu no avail in the main screen), even when no other players are avail. Normal "enter" commands trigger a whoosh sound, but do not launch the file.

Setup as in the equipment you use, your operating system and version, your kodi version etc... I certainly don't have this problem. So far I only see two people with this problem.
You haven't told us any of the above, so there is no way to try to help you.

Put it this way, if you called up a garage and said to them my car won't go with no other details, would you expect them to immediately know what was wrong with it?

I am happy to provide all of that info - My response was only to indicate that a change in Kodi behavior came about with no change in additional equipment, which puzzled me. It literally happened overnight.
The Kodi is connected to;
Marantz 6011 via HDMI (On latest firmware from 3/16/17)
Which is connected to;
LG OLED65E7 (recent firmware upgrade!)
The network is the source for all files (GB Ethernet to GB Switch to WD MYCloud, which has 2 additional 4tb drives USB to it)
I use a Logitech K400 Keyboard which has a usb micro-dongle in the Kodi
The Kodi is running 17.3
(I also posted this on AVForums in the section for my TV)
After the last update (E7) I have strange behavior with my Pi3 Kodi box.
Normal/Previous behavior: select a video, press enter, video plays.
New Behavior: Above action does nothing. I MUST go to an alternate screen, right click and select "Play With..." and choose "Video Player" (this is the built-in Kodi player)from a list that NOW contains "Default, Video Player, LGOLED65E7" or I cannot start a video playing.
It seems as if the update made the TV 'broadcast' itself as a player option, that has now corrupted the Kodi in a way that I cannot undo. Even (now) when Kodi is plugged into another TV, the issue persists (albeit the LG is not an option to play through).
I also believe this is related to Ethernet protocols, as I have managed to correct the issue (in theory) by disconnecting the Pi Kodi from the network prior to boot. The functionality (enter to play) returns, but without a network I have no files to play...

Problem solved: I had to shut off the UPN/P settings to keep it from 'seeing' the other players on the network. I did NOT turn it on, or perhaps it was always on and the update to the TV made it more visible as a source, IDK.
