I'm trying to get PowerDVD to work with Kodi as an external player. The system recognizes that there is a blu-ray disc in there and when clicking Play DVD no action happens. I've created the necessary file and here is what is in it. Is something missing? Or are there other steps I need to do? I'm really not interested in ripping them.


<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="PowerDVD" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD16\Movie\PowerDVDMovie.exe</filename>
<args>F:\</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="bd|ifo|bdmv|mpls" player="PowerDVD"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

The definition for the player

Code:

<playercorefactory>
<players> <player name="PowerDVD" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD16\PowerDVD.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}"</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<warpcursor>topright</warpcursor>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<forceontop>true</forceontop>
</player>

I don't have PowerDVD so for the rules you might have to try and make sense of them, External players (wiki)
