Playing videos in an external player

[Queseuq]

I've recently added my videos to Media Monkey, but now I need a way to play them. I have the "Open tracks in another application" script but was wondering if there was a way to make the default double click open the video in the external player? Would a script be able to accomplish this and if so could someone give me a pointer on how to start it. Not much of a programmer

I would also like to have this behaviour, any ideas?

Doesn't look like anyone has posted results of a test with MM3, but I don't see why any of them shouldn't work. Try one (or all!) of them out, post in the script thread if its MM3 compatible. (The second one listed looks the most promising..)

Wow nohitter, thanks a lot!!

I spent a lot of time searching for steegys external tools, as I remember having used it before, but couldn't find it!! Maybe I need to improve my searching skills!!

Thank you very much once again!

Yeah, that External Tools script looks really good. Means I could combine all my 'run in external program' scripts into one, thanks nohitter.

It is actually really good, been playing with it for a while and I'm very happy with the results!

Edit: I already found the "Open videos in default player".
Although I would have preferred the option to choose.
In MM4 I added 2 editions of the script for 2 different players.
Now I'm stuck with the default,
which windows seems to automatically switch back to their horrible video player.
After every time I change it...

Can the Script "Open tracks in another application" still be used in mediamonkey 5???
And how?
Where to place the script now?
Or how to adjust it?

Thanks...

If an application gets default then check its settings as it may steal this on start.

I tried several times and gave up in the end.
I don't know if or what I did wrong.
And I'm fairly used to pc's...
Could anyone point me to a good explanation on how to definitely change the default win10 player (videos in this case)?

I revisited this thread, because I'm wondering if MM will make the choice for 2 external players an integrated option?
Meaning (with the use of that script) right click on a video/song and "open in ......"

No, you can set MediaMonkey to use the default external video player in MediaMonkey 2024, but no open with has been integrated.
