Post by feederze »

hello all:

Just fixex this.

I guess xyplorer runs "default video player", and my default was vlc player. Once i switch it back to windows media player, videos priview works again.

Maybe. Let's postpone this to after the transformation (to 64-bit).

If WMP is the only player XY can use for video preview, why not just look for it directly in

Code: Select all

%programfiles(x86)%\Windows Media Player
This way users could make any player default and XY would still use WMP
