Addon for playing content in external player

Post by Stein the Ruler »

Hi!

Is there a add-on that let's me right click in a file and choose play in external player?
I love everything about media monke except for playing videos.

In the Options I choose to open video files in default software and now it open's them in my browser. How can I fix this???

Thanks! :D

Make sure that for that File Type you set a different Software as default Application in Windows. You can search online on how to best do that for your version of Windows (you may be able to do this through Properties for the file in File Explorer).

Can you capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... p?f=2&t=69

Hi,
A script that my plugin https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... f=2&t=2432 I made almost 14 years can be easily changed to use any other third party application to play selected file.

I made similar change for a plugin http://www.happymonkeying.com/plugin.php?q=300107 3 years ago to open selected file in Spek, but can be made to open file in any other app (tested it with Pot Player, AIMP) that can be set to force use of single app instance.
