Help needed to configure Movie viewer plugin to play videos

[Leo]

@iam1simpleguy

I been searching this forum and im not sure how to use WMP ActiveX viewer. Maybe u mean disable movie plugin and inside ActiveX+Preview+Office+Web disable Windows media player?and after that it will use Generic Activex 32bit 64bit?

That's right. Essentially what I suggested in Is there WebM support? - #5 by Leo :

But Windows Media Player (WMP) also has an ActiveX control which does autoplay. You can use that instead by turning off the WMP Preview Handler, and making sure the extensions you're interested in are included in the Generic ActiveX (32-bit) line near the bottom of the dialog (the same one where you enable/disable the WMP Preview Handler).

You may also need to fix registry settings for that to work, if WMP isn't assigned as the ActiveX handler for those file types. That can usually be done by (temporarily) setting Windows Media Player as the default player for the types involved (see HOW TO: Enable/fix playback of various media formats in Opus ).

That's the method I use and it works. But it also depends on the file types you're trying to play being correct in the registry.

(FWIW, we will be making a new Movie plugin that should make things easier in the future, although the old one can still be made to work with the right 64-bit codecs and splitters.)
