"External player active" message
« on: December 11, 2016, 08:21:05 AM »
Hello,

During playback of a file Kodi uses Himediaplayer in order to playback actually the file as an external player.
Every time the message "external player active. Click ok when playback has ended" appears.
Is there any way to avoid this message (not appear at all)?

Thank you!

If you set up the Wrapper to Kodi, the external player will not be used anymore and that message will not appear. It is not such a big issue, there has to be some sort of message that the external player is used.

The message is coming from Kodi. There are some merits in having it there, and they won't disable it.
