Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble setting my Kodi Portable installation to use MPC-HC as default for MKV files. My MPC-HC installation is also portable, by the way. I've already tried some suggestions I read online, but I'm still stuck here. I'm running Kodi 20.4 on Windows 11.

My playercorefactory file looks like this: https://pastebin.com/kdW5nZZf

And here's my latest debug log: https://paste.kodi.tv/iluyuvabuy

The debug log seems to indicate that the playercorefactory file is being loaded correctly, but it can't seem to find the MPC-HC installation path. However, the path is indeed correct.

What could I be missing here?

Try the example in the wiki External players (wiki) in the rule field my set-up works well (portable mode) the version of MPC-HC is installed and the rule is <rule video="true" player="paplayer"> so I launch from the context menu. ensure the drive is a Kodi available source.

FTL: CPlayerCoreFactory::GetPlayer(MPC-HC): no such player: MPC-HC

No quotes around the player's filename. Do it exactly like the example in the wiki.

Yes, this doesn't look right with the doubled quotes:

Code:

CExternalPlayer::ExecuteAppW32: "D:\MPCHC\mpchc64.exe" ""D:\MPCHC\mpchc64.exe"" "D:\Videos\Films\The Grapes of Wrath (1940)\The Grapes of Wrath (1940).mkv" /fullscreen /close
