Ok so i just got a new tv which can play 10bit x265 files (which the pi cannot) therefore i want any and all files containing x265 to be played using my new tv rather than the pi. I didnt see info like this anywhere in my searching so hopefully this is illuminating.
I was looking at how to setup Kodi to always play certain files using an external player via dlna and just figured out how to do this the other day, so i thought Id post a how to for other folk who might be interested.
