Hello, I have a problem with MPC-HC.

To explain: I'm using a PC with MadVR and Kodi Omega. I use MPC-HC as an external player – it basically works.

I've also integrated the PSE add-on and configured it so that the lights go out when the movie starts and come back on during the credits. When I start the movie via Kodi, the lights turn off as intended, but they don't turn back on during the credits.

Can anyone help me with this?

Does the movie you're watching have chapters? The last chapter is what triggers the credit lights.

The credits trigger only work if using Kodi's built-in videoplayer. PSE doesn't communicate directly with external players like MPC-BE or mpv.

FWIW, one of the Kodi developers is working on a more recent release that allows you to integrate madVR into Kodi directly. It's still a work in progress obviously but I'm guessing it may allow you to use the credits trigger (and still use madVR, which I presume is why you're using MPC-HC as an external player). I wouldn't recommend installing it over your existing Kodi install, however, but install on another PC if possible and test it out first before making any switch.

@MidnightWatcher is correct. External players don't pass the chapter changes through kodi’s code like the internal player.
