Kodi + Emby + External Player


Recommended Posts

Posted

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.

If you are using Kodi Leia, I think there's a bug with external players. 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.
