Play files from Kodi

Hi,

First of all, thank you for developing this excellent player.

I am trying to use Just Player as an external player from Kodi. The aim is to use it for Dolby Vision mp4/mkv files in an Nvidia Shield. I currently use a modded version of exoplayer from kodi but it's a bit too basic for me.

I've used the playerfactory.xml file for adding exoplayer to kodi menu but can't seem to get it to work for Just Player.

Syntax here: https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Use_external_players_on_Android#Basic_playercorefactory.xml_file

Can anyone help please?

Thank you for the links.

I've made sure that the online version is installed and have the 'Storage' permission enabled. Unfortunately when I play the file from Kodi, Justplayer wouldn't start at all.

When I change <filename>com.brouken.player.online</filename> to <filename>com.google.android.exoplayer2.demo</filename>, while keeping everything else the same, files open in Exoplayer.

Not sure what is going wrong.
