matroska viewing

[Phr3d]

at the risk of coming off a complete moron, considering my constant begs for NO New Features if they will slow TC down:
if matroska viewing could be added to the F3 list capabilities, it would be most appreciated. I realize that it is a container, but hope that it will simplify viewing myriad content.
I know, prolly not.
Thank You.

I think that's more the job for a lister plugin, such as mplayer4tc (http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/mplayer4tc.html).

I'll give it a try.. always appreciated F3's ability to quickly confirm the mysteriously-named file-on-the-LAN's contents, so thought I'd ask, but agreed, complexity for little universal benefit, most likely.
Thanx.

I'll suggest you Mplayer2Lister (http://en.totalcmd.pl/download/wlx/Mda/Mplayer)
based on mplayer4tc but rewritten on c++, really improved.
I use this ini file to fit my needs

Code: Select all

[configuration]
MplayerPath="%commander_path%\tools\mplayer\mplayer.exe" 

Reread=1
;Mode:	;1 (normal), 2 (doublesize), 3 (fixedposition), 4 (storedposition)
Mode=2

MplayerParams="-nofs -vo directx -priority abovenormal -quiet -keepaspect -double -monitorpixelaspect 1 -ass -embeddedfonts -ass-line-spacing 0 -ass-font-scale 1.6 -ass-styles '%comander_path%\Tools\Mplayer\mplayer\styles.ass' -fontconfig -font 'ITCOfficinaSans LT Book' -subfont-autoscale 0 -subfont-osd-scale 20 -subfont-text-scale 20 -volume 88"

MplayerPostParams="-loop 0"

matroska is one of many media file types supported by mplayer.

sorry I missed your reply, hope you see this -

When I -F3- on a multimedia file, I get an error message, text in an unsupported language (russian?).
I can also get an additional popup that says 'cannot create process'.

Unfortunately, it replaced the built-in multimedia viewer, so I now have nothing.

Any idea what I did wrong? Upon adding it, I pointed it to the plugins\wlx\mplayer directory, selecting the file mplayer.wlx, placed your config info in wincmd.ini (modded to point to correct location).

@Phr3d

at first I got same thing as you - black screen - but with a "hit and miss" method I mannaged to fix it:

make a file mplayer.ini in mplayer plugin folder. Below is mine:

Code: Select all

[configuration]
MplayerPath="f:\video\mPlayer\mplayer.exe" 

Reread=1 
Mode=1

MplayerParams="-vo directx -quiet -keepaspect"
MplayerPostParams="-loop 0" 

make sure that first line: [configuration] is also included.

Hope that helps.
