I'm trying to use MPC-BE as my external player with Kodi 21.1, but when I click a movie, nothing happens. If I right click a movie and choose Play Using, MPC-BE is there as Default. I can get MPC-HC to work as an external player, but I prefer BE. Here is my playercorefactory for BE.

<playercorefactory>
 <players>
   <player name="MPC-BE" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
     <filename>‪C:\Program Files\MPC-BE\mpc-be64.exe</filename>
     <args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
     <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
     <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
     <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
     <playcountminimumtime>1140</playcountminimumtime>
   </player>
 </players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv|ts|avi|divx|ogm|mp4|mov|m4v|flv|m2v|mpeg|mpg|mts|m2ts|vob|bdmv|iso|mpls" player="MPC-BE"/>
<rule dvdimage="true" player="MPC-BE"/>
<rule dvdfile="true" player="MPC-BE"/>
<rule protocols="http|https" player="MPC-BE"/>
<rule protocols="daap|rtv|rtsp|rtmp|rtmpe|rtsp|mms|rtp|pvr" player="VideoPlayer"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Looks like you have an embedded Unicode formatting character in the filename line.

U+202A

delete everything between the <filename> and </filename> and manually type your filename in.

Try this line as I have reformatted it without the unicode character for you:

<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC-BE\mpc-be64.exe</filename>
