Configuring Open/Play/Enque parameters for external player

Post by Antono »

My trusty Media Player Classic has the /open /play and /add switches which can be added to its command line in the format "mplayerc.exe pathname [switches]".

However, simply putting "/open", "/play" and "/add" in their respective places in AOM Media Player options doesn't work.

How exactly should I configure it :?:
Thanks!

From the readme.txt:

Code: Select all

  Players
    Here you can add media players to launch/engueue files from within
    AOM. For example, this would be how you add "Zoom Player":
      Enter "Zoom Player" in the edit in the upper right corner and click "Add".
      Select the "Zoom Player" row in the Player list on the left.
      Click "Set as default". (Optional)
      Click "Browse..." and find the program location, for example:
        C:\Program Files\Zoom Player\zplayer.exe
      Write this in the Open parameter field:
        "%L"
      Write this in the Play parameter field:
        "/add:%L"
      Write this in the Enqueue parameter field:
        "/queue:%L"
      Now click ok and you can launch files with a right click in your 
      local files view.

    Note that %L is currently the only valid parsed parameter, this is
    replaced with the path and filename in long filename format.
    Also note that most applications require the %L to be enclosed in
    quotation marks, ie "%L".
Most likeyly MPC needs:

Code: Select all

/add "%L"
for example...
