As the title says, is it possible to set the default video player to use per TV series? I tend to switch between MXPlayer and JustPlayer depending on the content (JustPlayer for most content and MXPlayer for some sub heavy content). However, it’s annoying to have to select the player every time I start an episode. Additionally, this makes playing a show on shuffle in the background pretty tedious.

Would it be possible to have it so that show A always just plays using JustPlayer and show B always plays using MXPlayer?

    From my experience, JustPlayer looks best and does the best job at playing DolbyVision/HDR10 content with Dolby TrueHD+Atmos or DTS-HD MA w/ DTS:X. However, sometimes it has issues with subtitles. I haven’t yet investigated why, but I think shows that warrant more complicated subtitles (like Gintama) tend to fall into this. Where by complicated I mean that it often has multiple layers of subs simultaneously.

    MxPlayer works best with subs and still looks pretty good, but not as good as JustPlayer and it doesn’t work as well with all the above mentioned technologies.
