How to preview videos with lister?

[avada]

Hi!

I've been using Mplayer4TC for a long time but its getting to frustrating to use. It hangs with a lot of files the aspect ratio changing isn't working anymore, etc.
What alternatives are available? (That are preferably less bugged)

I've searched around a bit. I only found this thread that seemed relevant. http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=29351

Its in german so I don't understand much, but it seems the person there had those files open externally with mplayer, which would be fine by me. What I don't understand is what does syn2 have to do with it. Or is that something separate?

http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/mmedia.html can play evrything that Windows mediaplayer can play - it seems pretty steady to me.

Sorry for triple posting. It is not my mistake, but server's Moderators, please remove all but the last one.

Thanks! Does it still work with win 7? Looks a tad outdated.

Thanks! Looks interesting. I see it has ffdshow built in. Actually an english version of the guide you linked in the first post would be nice. Is there a translation available somewhere?

yes!
finally a good plugin (i'm talking about mLister).

Thanks Vochomurka

Yes - if you set it up to use WMP 7+ it simply just uses Windows 7's Media Player 12

This mlister is good, but unfortunately it can crash TC when the filetype is not something that it expects it to be. (Sometimes only the plugin crashes)
Can this be reported to the dev somehow?
I'm still interested trying out opening the video files in an external program explained here:

Ich habe lange herumgespielt und hatte einen Gedankenblitz.

Um zu verhindern das der Lister im Quick Mode die Videos wider gibt habe ich sie einfach einem Plugin zugewiesen

Code: Select all

[ListerPlugins]
6=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\Syn2\Syn2.wlx
6_detect="ext="flv" | ext="f4v" | ext="mp4" | ext="mpeg" | ext="mpg" | ext="m4v" | ext="mkv" | ext="avi" | ext="mov" | ext="mpl" | ext="m2v" | ext="asd" | ext="asf" | ext="divx" | ext="nsv" | ext="rm" | ext="rmvb" | ext="wmv" | ext="wma" | ext="mp3" | ext="m4a""

Als Player habe ist dann einen Externen Player Verknüpft wie ich es schon mit der PDF gemacht hatte.

Code: Select all

[Extensions]
flv=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\mplayer\MPUI.exe ^.flv
f4v=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\mplayer\MPUI.exe ^.f4v
mp4=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\mplayer\MPUI.exe ^.mp4
mpeg=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\mplayer\MPUI.exe ^.mpeg

rmvb=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\mplayer\MPUI.exe ^.rmvb
wmv=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\mplayer\MPUI.exe ^.wmv
wma=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\mplayer\MPUI.exe ^.wma
mp3=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\mplayer\MPUI.exe ^.mp3
m4a=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\mplayer\MPUI.exe ^.m4a
pdf=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\PDF\SumatraPDF.exe -esc-to-exit ^.pdf
xps=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\PDF\SumatraPDF.exe -esc-to-exit ^.xps

Wenn aber jemand ein Gutes Plugin für Videos kennt nur her damit.
Das mit dem Externen Player ist nicht gerade meine liebste Lösung.

Außer es gibt noch einen besseren als den Mplayer den man über die Tastatur steuern kann.

I just can't figure out where to put the extensions section...

In wincmd.ini, see menu Help - About Total Commander for its location. Please check whether there is already such a section. If yes, you need to add the above lines to it instead of adding a second section.

Well, I did, but nothing happens. The video files are shown as text.
I even tried installing syn2 and modifying its lines. Like in the first part.
But nothing seems to work.

These lines are for choosing the viewer when you press Alt+F3, not for viewing them within lister with F3. You can change the external viewer to F3 in configuration - options - viewer/editor.

Ok, it seems like the problem was that I had to change the radio button to external viewer. I didn't know that. I always thought that was for replacing lister completely.

I don't know russian language so I gave up with their forum and started some experiments on my own:

there is a file called filters.ini in filters folder - it makes windows to use mpc splitters as source filters and ffdshow as decoder. Even if you have installed others - they will not run.

If you want to use your prefered splitters/decoders then remove all entries from above file (filter.ini) and then mlister will run what you have in your system - it won't crush so easily.

for example: as splitters you can use free: av splitter (that one is a good start since you can built your own graphs with it - and there is no such possibility directly in mplister), lav splitter or haali. As decoders I'm using lav filters / built in microsoft's / coreavc (not free).

With such combination that plugin is working perfectly fine on all the formats you enter in mlister.ini file

hope that helps a little

Anyone knows where can I download mlsiter at the moment? The rghost link doesn't seem to be working.

[AntonyD]

developer decided to start a new project: 'vlcLister'
at least in January he have written about it. Previous version - mlsiter - was declared as obsolete|deprecated

What is the fate of vlclister? Can anyone give a link to it or Mplayer 0.0.2.5 (forum.wincmd.ru/viewtopic.php?t=12013)?
