Competing information for playercorefactory.xml on android.
#1
I was using this wiki page https://kodi.wiki/view/External_players#Android to provide help on an android playercorefactory installation, thread here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=372246

what i read would make the command:
am start -n org.videolan.vlc/org.videolan.vlc.gui.video.VideoPlayerActivity -e PlaybackMode 1 -d "{1}"
and then using the wiki page above it would format nicely into the playercorefactory.xml file

however...

something has changed within kodi and now it handles android differently and the above does not work
the user was reading this wiki (that i found way later on my own) https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Use_extern...on_Android
which suggests the package name not "am" should be in the filename

that wiki also does not work, you need to drop the --fullscreen for that wiki to function

this is how kodi is actually calling an external player

ExecuteAppAndroid: org.videolan.vlc, StartActivity: package: org.videolan.vlc, intent: android.intent.action.VIEW, dataType: video/*, dataURI: {1}



so neither are actually correct and the first one i guess is deprecated

I don't have a clue.

Maybe @fritsch knows
