Hi folks, nice to be here.
I've set up VLC as the external video player in STBPro.
How do i make the external player the default media player as I seem to have to select external every time.
Thanks

No mate, just a grey box that says Media Player with no options or info.
It's not a big deal, I can change it on a session basis but would be nice to not have to.
Look at this and see if it Helps :

WWJD...!!!
Thanks but that's not the problem - it's making the external player the default, thanks anyway.
You should be able to select it, as Crazed mentioned.
Info
Media player settings
Profile specific media player settings.
Media player
Select a default media player for profile
Player Description
Exo Github
VLC web site
MPV Github
Ijk Github
Internal player Uses Android’s player. A list of supported codecs depends on your device’s Android version.
External player You may use almost any external player, but no integration with the emulator is available (media streams will be opened in an external application).

Shooty, this what I get when going through the settings, no selection as per the manual. Ant thoughts? Thanks,
Do you have the proper versions of the External Players installed?
Everything I find says it should list the available players!

Hi Shooty, I don't think I've explained myself correctly.
I can change to external player but I cant make it the default player for example like the MPV or the Exo player, it doesn't give me the option in settings/Media Player Settings or
Settings/Profile/Me/Media Player Settings/Media Player, see pics below.

Thanks for the manual, I'll have a trawl through.
I think I might know what the problem is.
In the 1st image above, it shows as > Ijk [PROFILE DEFAULT]
If you are using the default "Profile", you may not be able to change the player.
Go to Profile and make a NEW Profile and Enable it as the one to use.
Then duplicate all the settings info from the default profile to the new one (MAC, Server url etc.)
Save settings and then Reload Portal.
