E-Mule alternative media player

Post by plonkah »   0 likes

Can someone advise where you configure this (believe it is an ini file). I have already one configured, but need to change path and cannot for the life of me remember where I configured this.

Thanks a mill !!

Hi Idler

That is where you configure the primary player (the one you will fire up if you just hit preview), but there is a way of configuring a secondary one as well.

Different Preview Applications

Not all player applications perform equally well on all kinds of files. One of the most flexible is for sure the Video LAN Client but players like Media Player Classic or Zoom Player also work very well with incomplete files.
To configure eMule for offering a choice of different players a file named PreviewApps.dat has to be created in eMule's config folder. This is a normal text file created e.g. with Windows Notepad. The applications used for preview have to be entered in the following format

=

Is the name, the application appears in eMule preview menu
This has to be replaced with the full path to the players executable file. Paths with blanks must be enclosed in ""
This can be optional command line arguments for the application

Examples:
VideoLAN Client 0.6.2=C:\Programme\VideoLAN-0.6.2\VLC\vlc.exe
VideoLAN Client 0.7.1=C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe --config "%USERPROFILE%\Applicationdata\vlc\vlcrc-0.7.1"
Media Player Classic="C:\Programme\Media Player Classic\mplayerc.exe"

Notes:
o Running eMule as unprivileged user may result in some applications not working correctly as all started programs only have the restricted user permissions.
o Command line arguments can even be system variables like %USERPROFILE%. In this case the variable would be replaced with the system path for "Documents and Settings" with the appropriate user folder. This is useful for configuring some applications to run correctly as unprivileged users.
