The external player works perfectly when I play non-hd content, i.e. avi files. However when I attempt to play any HD content, .mkv, MPC opens but returns the following: failed to render file. If I play the same file directly from MPC it works fine.
Anybody having this issue? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked what your CPU is doing while in the XBMC/GUI ?
Because if its running high for some reason and you have <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc> it might be to much for both XBMC/GUI and mkv
Try <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> and see what happens
