| Summary | 0006993: Support for external video players | ||||
| Description | MediaMonkey should allow external video players such as VLC be used to play videos. This is needed for cases where: -codec support in MM is lacking -subtitles need to be viewed Suggested UI (to replace existing UI): "Use External Players [ ] Audio (Winamp): ______________________[browse] [ ] Video: ___________________ [browse] " Note: the 'set mini-player transparency' button can be removed. The option is accessible directly from the mini-player. Note: For users who want to use the MM player, but want to occasionally (e.g. for subtitles) use an external player, it might also be useful to have a Context menu option to play video in an external player. e.g. Play with external player. | ||||

As discussed over IM, decreasing priority, since this hopefully won't ever really be needed. An Addon could be created for 'Open with...' functionality though. |
|
|
Note: the priority may be upgraded, though, depending on complaints from users during the beta period re: 1) number of videos that can't be played in MM 2) inability to watch videos due to lack of subtitle support |

2. VLC plugin that exist on Forum http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=46137 can be used till we manage to make subtitles. Using such UI changes could be useful. Don't Winamp also support Video Playback? |

Setting as resolved, could be reopened in case it would really be needed. |
