Dozer1243 0 Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Hey guys, hopefully this is in the right place. Just made this account to try and find some info on this. I recently set up a Kodi install (long time user) using the Emby Add-on as I want a more centralised experience for certain things. I usually use MPC:HC with MadVR for my video playback and was instantly reminded of why I don't use Kodi as my default player when watching something when I sat down to watch a nature doc. I'm trying to get my external player to launch. However, it seems that the Emby add-on doesn't work with external players? If I use the file browser in Kodi: Movies > Files > Sources > etc > S01E01.mkv my playercorefactory.xml will kick in and play through MPC:HC without issue. But, if I play anything off the home screen, or media library (controlled by Emby) it will launch to the default Kodi player. Is there any workaround for this? Regardless, thanks a lot for this awesome application. Kind Regards.

The path that is passed to external player is not the correct one I believe... I can't find if this issue has been corrected or not. The only workaround at this time is to use native playback mode.
