I have created playercorefactory.xml, pointed it right to mx player, but when opening a video file on lan I just get popup (External Player Active) "Click OK when playback has ended", and nothing shows....

Code:

<playercorefactory>
    <players>
        <player name="MXPlayerFree" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
            <filename>com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad</filename>
            <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
            <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
        </player>
        <player name="MXPlayerPro" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
            <filename>com.mxtech.videoplayer.pro</filename>
            <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
            <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
        </player>
        <player name="StockPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
            <filename>android.rk.RockVideoPlayer</filename>
            <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
            <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
        </player>
    </players>
    <rules action="prepend"> 
        <rule filename=".*CRiME.*|.*4k.*" player="StockPlayer"/>
        <rule filetypes="mkv" player="MXPlayerPro"/>
        <rule video="true" player="MXPlayerFree"/>
    </rules>
</playercorefactory>

You have to mount it with cifs....hope fully it is supported in your kernel. Mount Manager in the play store can easily automate it.....if you end up with a blank directory try going to terminal emulator and navigate to the directory....do a su. then ls

If you have files....then google the issue....i was able to get it working eventually.

Does it mean it doesn't works with NFS?

im not positive of the terminology but external players wont work with xbmc if using smb. Try placing a file locally to test. On external or internal sd card.

Also your googling may lead to an smb wrapper for xbmc...it may have worked at one time but doesnt any more.

Actually my remote files are on NFS server and external player gices the error mentioned in first topic.
Honestly I don't know where to start to look for mount points and terminal commands, but I guess I'll have to look around for solutions (h265 is impossible to play through xbmc, and therefore external player is necessary without loosing xbmc GUI).

Also i think you name is wrong for mx player. Navigate to your data/app/ directory to verify the naming..First get it working off of the devices storage then start working on mounting the nfs.

To get the name of the stock player you can move the app out of system app folder....reboot...then install...then navigate to your data/app folder to get the naming. Then uninstall it and place the play back in system/app....might be an easier way but it worked for me.

Most RK3288 devices don't have NFS support.
I'll add it in my v1.3 ROM.

I have tried using both CIFS manager and Mount manager but I get error with both: Device or resource busy. Mounted folder appears in ES file explorer but it's empty.

-EDIT
after reboot Mount is succesful but dirs are empty, even after su command

you are doing an ls command in shell to see if the files are there correct?

Yes, ls in terminal shows empty dir as well.

Have you tried the beta spmc?

Mmmm what should I try? External player didn't work with v13.3.3 as well. Where can I find beta version?

I think the problem will be the mounts...

If it doesn't work at shell (e.g. with terminal (first you have to use 'su') or adb) e.g. with this commands

Code:

mount -o rw,remount /
mkdir /mnt/XPFilme
mount -o ro,remount /
sleep 2
busybox mount -t nfs 192.168.2.1:/XPFilme /mnt/XPFilme -o ro,intr,soft,udp,nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192

(of cause you have to change the ip/directory-name)
and doesn't find any contend (files) with 'ls' at the '/mnt/XPFilme' the external player couldn't work, because he also doesn't find the content which he gets by XBMC if you use XBMC to '''mount''' CIFS/NFS shares (because this is only available at XBMC)....

I have tried your mount command but this is what I get and I don't know what's wrong
