Kodi Not Connecting to external Media Player - pastor - 2024-06-29

I have configured my VLC Media Player with Playercorefactory on my macOS Sonoma, and Kodi does NOT use the external Media Player.  Am I doing something wrong?

<playercorefactory>
    <players>
        <player name="vlc" type="ExternalPlayer">
            <filename>/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC</filename>
            <args>--fullscreen --no-video-title-show</args>
            <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
            <hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
        </player>
    </players>
    <rule protocols="http|https|rtsp|rtmp|mms|ftp|ftps|file" player="vlc"/>
    <rule extensions="mkv|mp4|avi|mov|wmv|flv" player="vlc"/>
    <rule video="true" player="vlc"/>
</playercorefactory>


Please help!
