I've read that you can change the default media player within XBMC to something else, such as MPC-HC. I'm really wanting to do this, as the default player (whatever it may be) causes lag in certain scenes of nearly every file played.
I'm using XBMC v11.
I've had a google, and came accross the wiki on how to supposedly change the default player. So I created a new XML file titled 'playercorefactory' and stuck it in the 'AppData\Roaming\XBMC' as advised. The XML contains the following code:
This doesn't seem to be working for me, when I launch a video file from XBMC after adding this file, everything seems exactly how it was before (same GUI on the video controls, i.e. Pause, stop, fastforward etc - I'm assuming this is supposed to change to MPC-HC GUI?), and the scene lag still occurs.
Any guidance on this one please? :3
