external videoplayer - "playing list" issue [#20428]

Post by HSD »

Hi,
I prefer to use the "use default external videoplayer" feature, for example with Windows Media Player or VLC. The idea behind it is that I can play videos in full screen on my right monitor and still be able to work in the mediamonkey interface on my left monitor. Similar to what is possible withe the miniplayer function.

My current problem is that the videos are not playing automatically one after the other as shown in the playlist queue.

I have to start each video manually by double-clicking the file or using the left/right arrows at the bottom panel. This means the player does not automatically go to the next video. How can I fix this?

Is there a way to undock the MediaMonkey player/preview panel somehow, then i can avoid to use the external player function?

Thanks for any help!

This is a limitation of using an external video player. MediaMonkey can't control it more, than to send a file to it.

Undock for Preview is tracked here: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=20428
