Hi,
It seesm as XBMC calls an external player with a garbled file path, translating \\PC\DIR\FILE paths to //PC/DIR/FILE
This becomes a problem as '/' is interpreted as a command line switch by the external player (MPC)
I have configured Media Player Classic as my default player - for many good reasons - in my playercorefactory.xml.
My sources.xml contains paths in the \\PC\DIR format.
When Opening a media file in a Files context, the player is invoked with an unchanged file path.
But when Opening a media file in a Libray context, XBMC converts the path to //PC/DIR/FILE, which makes MPC throw up an error dialog because an unknown command line switch "//PC..."
The default player is opened OK.
Is this a bug - or a feature?
