Make VLC as the default player on your Kodi Mac

playercorefactory.xml

<playercorefactory>
	<players>
		<player name="VLC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
			<filename>/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC</filename>
			<args>--video-on-top --play-and-exit</args>
	 		<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
		</player>
    </players>
	<rules action="prepend">
		<rule video="true" player="VLC"/> 
    </rules>
</playercorefactory>

Greetings Dennis!

1. Thank you so much for your playercorefactory.xml KODI's player can't seem to handle many 1080p files with out lag errors :0(

2. "/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC"
   The KODI log says VLC does not exist in the path you provided, yet it is precisely where VLC is installed on my Macmini. I placed the playercorefactory.xml in the kodi/userdata folder. Can you provide the FULL path please? Unless you have another recommendation.

3. Can you also provide code for if VLC is an option rather than DEFAULT player?

THANK YOU so very much for your kindness and sharing!!!

@bmartinsen Hi, sorry but I only forked the XML back then and even then never used it. So unfortunately I can't help you. But I keep my fingers crossed that you find a solution.
