After trying countless hours to get DTS working properly in XBMC, I managed to configure VLC as an external player in XBMC. Since DTS audio works properly in VLC but I prefer to keep the XBMC interface, I was wondering if it's possible to have XBMC render the video while using VLC to output the audio. I have not been successful. This is what I successfully use to play VLC within XBMC (playercorefactory.xml):
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="vlc" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="false">
<filename>C:\Program Files\vlc\vlc.exe</filename>
<args>--fullscreen</args>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>true</hidecursor>
<forceontop>true</forceontop>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv" filename="*.mkv" player="vlc"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
I have tried <player name="VLC_Audio" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="false">
but not sure how it's supposed to work if at all. THANKS!
