XBMC/Kodi Front end Rkplayer backend

[prahjister]

Has anyone been able to get XBMC/Kodi to use an external player?

sure, you need to add this to playercorefactory.xml in xbmc.apk

  <players>    
    <player name="DVDPlayer" audio="true" video="true" />
    <player name="PAPlayer" audio="true" />
    <player name="MXPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
      <filename>com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad</filename>
      <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
      <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
    </player>
  </players>

This will ad mx player, not sure if it will work for rockchip player.
Try changing package name and let me know if it worked for you.
