Rather new to XBMC....
From reading these forums, I was successful getting VLC to be my default player (about every third movie, m4vs from Handbrake, I tried to play with the default player hung up or crashed). At first, VLC gave me an error code when attempting to close, but I corrected it with a hint I got, again, from these forums (fixed the arg). Everything was working perfectly....
Until I tried some video add-ons. Some launch with the default player (ESPN, for example) with no problems. Many others (HGTV, for example) caused the screen to go black. I thought XBMC might be trying to launch them in VLC, so I removed the playercorefactory.xml file from the user data folder and it corrected the problem.
So no I have to choose.... movies (with the XML file in) or add-ons (with the XML file out). There's got to be a solution that I'm too unskilled to know. I would suppose that it must be something in the playercorefactory.xml file. Here is the code in the playercorefactory.xml file:
Anybody know what's going on? Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!
