Hello everyone,
Use MP with an external player,
is there a way to make that when starting the external player MP is automatically closed?

Thanks

Ok,
I solved by creating a .bat file, inserted instead of the external player.
Unfortunately with the latest release of MP, playback with the external player and madVR has become impossible (continuous stuttering, and the rendering queue close to 0).
it is true that madVR has increased the consumption of resources with the last beta, but probably also MP with 1.23 has increased something.
So the only solution for me was to launch the movie from MP, the external player JRiver started, MP closes.
In this way everything flows smoothly. :)

    Would MP minimized in taskbar be enough to save power for you ?
    If yes then an idea could be using MultiShortcut plugin....

    Ok, I tried the MultiShortcut plugin,
    I don't know if everything is installed correctly,
    MP does not appear in the taskbar, but remains open in the background,
    however I no longer have the problem of stuttering.
    this is normal or has to be minimized in the taskbar ?
    Thanks

    I don't think so, because MP has no way of knowing at which timestamp the external player stopped playback. Best way to achieve this would be to use an auto-resume feature in your external player itself. (MPC-HC can do that, I don't know about VLC)

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    i love how subtitles are implemented in the MP2 videoplayer, this is just perfect. 1080p playback is also very good. But video playback in MP2 is buggy when playing 4k material. Therefore: PLEASE add an option for an external video player! I'd LOVE to have VLC back as videoplayer, like in MP1! This works perfectly. You will make a...

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?
