Thanks, justsomeguy.

Thank you guys for working this out! I gave every set of configs used online a shot and modified them every way I could think of to get Kodi to use MC as an external player about 6 months ago and finally gave up. I may be back here with a question or two when I give it another go and fail...

Just popping in to say that I'm working on this as well and I'm seeing encouraging results!  Justsomeguy, I saw a post in one of your threads wondering if anyone was still using the tool - so... "yes" to that.

Question:  I'm trying to toss in Plex to the mix as well... so Plex plug-in for Kodi launching external player (MCPlayClose.exe to launch JRiver).  This seems to work very well when I just use Kodi proper, but when launched from the Plex plug-in it looks like it is trying to use a Plex URL for the filename:

--- End code ---

Any clues to what setting I could use to have it pass the UNC name of my file instead?

Note:  I'm using the official Plex for Kodi add-on...  just now am seeing there is something called "PlexKodiConnect" that I maybe should explore as well...


EDIT:  I have this working quite well.  I'm anxious to hook everything up to my projector and start digging into MadVR.

I switched to PlexKodiConnect which allowed me to use their "Direct Paths" functionality.  Plex is running on my Synology and will server up links to files like this:  /volume1/Media/Movies/UHD/SomeFile.mkv.

However, to play those files in JRiver I need to be able to do this:  \\mynas\Media\Movies\UHD\SomeFile.mkv.  I couldn't get that to work.

In PlexKodiConnect, though, I can do a replace.  If I map a Windows drive (s: to \\mynas\Media) I can then go into their settings and do a replace of "/volume1/Media" to "s:" and I then get what I need.  When I set up MCPlayClose as my external player, it then gets this as the argument for the filename:  s:\Movies\UHD\MyMovie.mkv. 

JRiver launches and plays the movie - when I hit the Stop button, JRiver is killed and control goes back to Kodi.  Exactly what I wanted!

Pretty good stuff...

Sorry I'm kicking this back up to the top but I've gotten a few requests for the file I posted earlier in this thread. Apparently the old link isn't working anymore so here's a new one that should work.
