However, it seems that as of SVN 21387 the backward compatibility I put in to support the old configuration method has been removed (not sure why).
So, until the full instructions are finished, briefly, create a file (in the same folder as advancedsettings.xml) called playercorefactory.xml with the following contents
Code:<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="ExternalPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mplayerc.exe</filename>
<args>/fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>false</hidecursor>
</player>
</players>
</playercorefactory>
obviously with your current config between <player...> and </player>
More to follow in the wiki.

Just updated to build 21439 and I to no longer have external player capability. What is the reason for it being removed??
I have to use a script that tiben20 wrote me to get TMT3 running properly for use as my external player. The path is J:\DvdPlayerPicker\DvdPlayerPicker.exe
In your playercorefactory.xml, shouldnt everything be the same and the path be between <filename>?
Thanks for any info you can provide
