    External player

    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

    is there an option to set that Player as default in Settings>Profile>Media Players ?

    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.

    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).

    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.
