I tried to use the below file to let me use VLC to okay videos (optionally) doesn't seem to work? And I thought VLC comes with Kodi?
Where can I get VLC because the only add-ons I've found, no longer contain it.

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="Media File Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MediaPlayer\MediaPlayer.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv" filename=".*720p.*" player="Media File Player"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

VLC does not come with kodi and using an external video player is never recommended.

Can you explain what your issue is with using kodi to play videos?
