    I mean: full path to put the "playercorefactory.xml" file on X9S.
    I put it into: /sdcard/Android/data/com.zidoo.zdmc/files/.zdmc/userdata/
    but no success...

    I have bind the MXPlayer in the Original Playercorefactory from Zidoo and put the XML File in the UserData Folder, but nothing works, ZDMC don`t find the Path from the Syntax, or block the intend .

    <player name="MXPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
    <filename>com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad</filename>
    <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
    <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
    </player>

    This is the normal way for created a external Player, but ZDMC block this or have a write protection under his system for ZDMC. Possibly another path to the mxplayer could be the solution. I'm still testing that.

    Under KODI 16.1 , sorry with Wrapper :) and the modified Playercorefactory with MXPlayer or BSPlayer works nice, In conjunction with the native player :cool:

    I think player factory from zidoo is link by a script in ZDMC, and activated it when choosing use external player. Make sure use external player is not select in ZDMC. Just a thought...

    </playercorefactory>

    If you replace ZidooPlayer with MXPlayer then repack and install maybe it will work. I am sorry but actualy have visitor and can not try.

    There are a lot of TV does not have the standard EDID, will cause some trouble.

    </playercorefactory>

    When i placed this XML in the Userdata Folder from ZDMC, i can change with the menue Key to the MXPlayer, but nothing do, when i play a file.

    Also i think the path to the MXPlayer will not response, because the XML File will write from the ZDMC System .

    The Install methode is a chance with a modified ZDMC.apk, i check this.

    Removing the Native Player is not a Option for me, I would like a possibility to install additional external players.

    Regards Lony

    The subtitle should be sharper and arial font. Offset setting is not permanent in memory (v1.2.7). Subtitle does not support italic font.

    sorry, don't have the link but copied the method ...as follows:

    The NEO A2 controller comes with built in sound but it's designed specifically for the Minix box and doesn't work on other makes. When connected to other boxes, it causes android to switch to the sound and there's no sound.

    There are two ways to resolve this:
    1. (Less technical) Install Soundabout and make sure that HDMI is selected as the sound output (or whatever output you are using - in other words, not USB which is the Mele device). Some people have reported an issue where the HDMI option disappears from soundabout which requires a reinstall of the app to bring it back.

    2. (a little more tech but permanent - my personal fav.) Install ES File explorer and edit the audio policy file to disable USB as an audio option
    Recommend you do this with a proper keyboard / mouse attached.
    Install and run ES File Explorer
    Under tools (left), make sure root explorer is 'on'
    Click root explorer and then Mount R/W - make sure /system is set to RW
    Then under local (left), select / then in the main window navigate to /system/etc and click 'audio_policy.conf' to edit it (chose ES Note Editor)
    Click the menu and select 'edit'
    Find the line that starts with USB and comment out all the lines in that section like this:

    Code:
    # usb {
    # outputs {
    # usb_accessory {
    # sampling_rates 44100
    # channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO
    # formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT
    # devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_USB_ACCESSORY
    # }
    # usb_device {
    # sampling_rates 44100
    # channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO
    # formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT
    # devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_USB_DEVICE
    # }
    # }
    # inputs {
    # usb_device {
    # sampling_rates 8000|11025|16000|22050|32000|44100|48000
    # channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_IN_MONO
    # formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT
    # devices AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_USB_DEVICE
    # }
    # }
    # }
    Click back then save.
    After that reboot (not sure if it's required, but it won't hurt).
     

  12. Yes this is what I followed but it still didnt work!!!

    Has anyone else here tried this and was it sucessful?

    My remote is the Mele F10 Pro.
