Hi all,
I hope someone can help me im a bit of a noob at all this.
I am getting really jumpy movie playback through xbmc but the movies are playing perfectly through VLC so i thought i would try to add VLC as an external player in XBMC.
i have created an xml file named playercorefactory as suggested in multiple other threads and placed it into my userdata folder.
the file contents are
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="VLC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\VLC.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
</playercorefactory>
i have left the original playercorefactory xml in the system folder aswell
i cannot seem to get the option to use an external player anywhere.
The movies still play in XBMC and even when i press C i dont get a play using option
I am totally confused and getting a little frustrated (ive been playing around with this for hours)
What am i doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.
BTW i forgot to write the new XML i have created and placed into userdata ONLY contains the above bit of code i removed the original code. did i need to keep the original code aswell for the file i placed in userdata??
Do i need to add that bit of code to the playercorefactory xml in system??
Totally lost lol.
Thanks again
