Mr. Leo,
Okay, I am trying to understand the guide. First, at the very top the instructions state:
"Opus should be able to play MPEG & AVI (via the Movie plugin in viewer panes), MP3 & WAV (via the File -> File Commands -> Play Sounds built-in music player) out of the box. (Some AVI files will require an additional codec such as FFDShow. See the sections below for how to get it.)"
Are you referring to Windows Explorer or Directory Opus menu structure? Neither of this programs have "File -> File Commands -> Play Sounds built-in music player". Also, if I search for "File Commands" in the preferences dialog box there isn't an option for this.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that DO will use the registered application for the player in the Viewer Pane, is that correct? I don't want to change the registered program, I want DO to use a player of my choosing.
In the guide, it also states:
"If you don't want to change any registry settings then you can instead open an Opus window and go to Preferences / Viewer / Plugins, configure the Movie plugin and add any missing extensions to its list. Of course, this will only make the formats work in Opus."
So, if I go to Preferences -> Viewer -> Plugins -> Movie -> Recognized I have the following extensions
".asf,.asx,.avi,.div,.divx,.dvr-ms,.flv,.m1v,.m2v,.mkv,.mlv,.mov,.mp2v,.mpg,.mpeg,.mpe,.mpv2,.wm,.wmv,.wtv,.mp4"
Though, it is unclear if DO will use the built-in player or the registered player. I think the DO player since it states "Movie Viewer Plugin", though it isn't clear.
I really don't want to change the registered player for the file type (which is VLC), but I want DO to use a player that I specify.
One other item, in the guide it states:
"Windows Vista/7/8: Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Default Programs and assign things to Windows Media Player there."
For Windows 7, do you mean Control Panel Default Programs given there is no "Programs" category/option other than "Programs and Features", at least on my WIndows 7 64-bit install.
Regards,
Mark
