I have Embycon setup but it doesn't allow me to select "Play Using". I opened a GitHub issue here --> https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.v...issues/436

What I wondered if I added both my Emby library and the same library using simple "files" if I could use `playcorefactory.xml` rules to automatically use Kodi internal player for anything played via Embycon and then use VLC for anything played via "Files"?

<rules action="prepend">
   <rule filetypes="avi|mkv|mp4|m4v|mpg|mpeg" player="VLC" />
   <!--
   <rule filetypes="avi|mkv|mp4|m4v|mpg|mpeg" player="Media Player Classic" />
-->
</rules>

I believe this post is better suited to the Emby support forum.

No "Play Using" option when viewing files via Embycon

Kodi will use VLC as an external player even in file mode as you've noted. As for the inclusion of rules to effect automatically to use Kodi internal player for anything played via Embycon, it might be worth exploring, why not try it out and leave us your experience?
