Dear Kodi lovers,
I would like to add an alternative player in playercorefactory.xml with the challenge that the player is not installed as a normal user app,
but it is an android standard app being installed in the following path:
/system/app/RealtekGallery2/RealtekGallery2.apk
This app is part of my Android based player device and works well when using its mediaplayer app, i.e. all my local movies are played like a charm.
Kodi's standard player has issues with many of my movies (slow or bumpy playback...).
As Kodi has a much nicer user interface than the mediaplyer app, I would like to integrate the player in Kodi.
In playercorefactory.xml I have tried to achieve this as follows:
<player name="RealtekGallery" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>/system/app/RealtekGallery2/RealtekGallery2.apk</filename>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
</player>
The additional player entry is offered in Kodi, but when chosen nothing happens.
So I assume my syntax is not correct ?!
If the player would be a user app the working syntax would be:
<filename>com.sony.dtv.osat.video</filename>
Can anymore give me any hint on how to best achieve this ?
Sorry if I missed another thread having the above info.
Thank you and regards
PS/EDIT/Supplement: The player app I aim to use is the standard google Video Player App which is store in above path:
