I would like to play Video files using the default video player of Kodi as if it were a stand alone player. i.e. from command line how do I call Kodi's internal Videoplayer without actually running Kodi and the rest of its interface ?
Background - I have an Odroid C2 powered by Amlogic S905 and am running Arch linux 3.14 on it. I also have Kodi 17.4 installed on it and that gets GPU acceleration and is capable of playing 4K movies. I have installed mplayer but that is not able to get GPU acceleration for some reason - lack of supported drivers for GPU.
I figured if Kodi's default player can be called directly then I don't need to wait around for mplayer and GPU drivers to be developed.
Thanks
