SOLVED: [WLX] Which lister plugin for viewing *.mp4 videos?

[patxiku]

I have looked for a wlx lister plugin for viewing/playing *.mp4 videos. It seems that there are only plugins for some infos about them, but not for viewing. Another video types (e.g. *.avi, *.wmv) can be played in lister and Quickview.

Can anyone help me, please? Thanks for advance

There are no doubt other methods/plugins. But with I think with the default setup you can try pressing 8 in the lister window, that should show a video player, if it does you can configure it to be the default for MP4 (8 is the 'explorer view' in the options menu of lister).

If that works, define it as standard option as follows, in Lister:
Option menu, configure, multimedia tab
Define view method by type
Add, specify *.mp4, OK, please choose default, enter 8 or click the + and choose 8 (explorer view),
OK OK OK

now when you open lister it should should the player for mp4 files

Download these LAV filters from https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases and put them in the Filter64 and/or Filter32 folders of your TC program directory and restart TC. Then you can play .mp4 movies with F3

Or you can use this plugin: http://totalcmd.net/plugring/mmedia.html (use the archives without _DL in the name)

I can offer my old development (the sources were lost). Preview using Mpv Player https://github.com/Rinat84/vlister/releases/download/2/vlister.zip

the sources were lost

This is bad because the plugin doesn't take into account the settings for mpv.

the plugin doesn't take into account the settings for mpv

But it works, its only necessary:

1) To install mvp player:
MVP website: https://mpv.io/
Or direct download of executable files. For example from here: https://www.filehorse.com/download/file/a69nX2RASjfG148UfAU-IJ3bcOKFKStg79b1-6P4Q9e2-4YiTgfULv0es7qFZnkHd1OQFvOFvlLbRvpMbVih43-HHaV8j9r3TgdF4xh6Uug/

2) To set the correct path pointing to mvp.exe in vlister.ini, inside the plugin folder.

Code: Select all

[[vlister]
path=c:\Program Files\mpv\mpv.exe
path64=c:\Program Files\mpv\mpv.exe
folder=0

3) To add the correct detect string of vlister plugin in wincmd.ini, under [ListerPlugins] section, for determinin that it is a multimedia plugin and what types of video files will be opened:

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\vlister\vlister.wlx
detect=MULTIMEDIA & (EXT="MP3" | EXT="MP1" | EXT="MP2" | EXT="M4A" | EXT="M4B" | EXT="AAC" | EXT="FLAC" | EXT="AC3" | EXT="WV" | EXT="WAV" | EXT="AIFF" | EXT="AIF" | EXT="WMA" | EXT="MIDI" | EXT="MID" | EXT="RMI" | EXT="KAR" | EXT="OGG" | EXT="MOD" | EXT="XM" | EXT="IT" | EXT="S3M" | EXT="MTM" | EXT="UMX" | EXT="MO3" | EXT="M3U" | EXT="PLS" | EXT="WPL" | EXT="APE" | EXT="MPC" | EXT="MP+" | EXT="MPP" | EXT="OFR" | EXT="OFS" | EXT="SPX" | EXT="TTA" | EXT="DSF" | EXT="DSDIFF" | EXT="OPUS")

Then it works

What works? Did I write about installing and using the plugin in its original form?
We are talking exclusively about using *.conf files.

There is a limitation for files larger than ~1GB. Internal lister media player crashes with them. vlister plugin with mpv player works great.

Not confirmed. I tried playing a 2.7GB .mp4 file and that worked fine.

[Gral]

I do not confirm either - I checked with a 10.5 GB mp4 file, a 9.5 GB ts file and a 7 GB mkv file on both bitness versions.

[petermad]

I just tried a 2.11GB .mp4 file - no problems

[macleod]

Really with basic lister with LAV filters and without any other plugin?

[petermad]

Yep, I just tested with a clean .ini file.
