I am hoping one of the more informed members could point me in the right direction. I have tried various options to identify location of actual executable, but none of them work. The example above is from Kodi's wiki, using Windows structures, but the same applies with other OS.Īn example from Kodi forums, for Ubuntu and using VLC as external player: In playercorefactory.xml file, you need to include this instruction that points to your external player:

In Kodi's wki instructions: 'The only required node for a player with type ExternalPlayer is the node, this should contain the path of the external player executable.' I suspect it is failing because it can't find SMPlayer's location on my QNAP. I appear to have installed playercorefactory.xml correctly but it doesn't call SMPlayer correctly. Then, I copied a playercorefactory.xml file to Kodi's userdata folder: I used the instructions from this post to make my Apps folder visible: viewtopic.php?t=114601#p505020 I have tried setting SMPLayer as an external playes for Kodi 17.1 using playercorefactory.xml file placed in Kodi's userdata folder. Visual Basic developers will learn how to query their SQL Server database in order to easily create Excel spreadsheets directly in the Visual Basic editor using LINQ to XML. I have installed this and it appears to work fine. Thank you for releasing this for QNAP boxes. But apart from providing access for the most common and useful options of MPlayer, SMPlayer adds other interesting features like the possibility to play Youtube videos or download subtitles. SMPlayer is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the award-winning MPlayer, which is capable of playing almost all known video and audio formats. don't worry, when you open that movie again it will be resumed at the same point you left it, and with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, volume. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave. One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer: it remembers the settings of all files you play. Just install SMPlayer and you'll be able to play all formats without the hassle to find and install codec packs. SMPlayer is a free media player for Windows and Linux with built-in codecs that can play virtually all video and audio formats. Unzip, install within HDStation menu, Enjoy on TV
