.avi association with TC Media player.

Post by *TwistedPair »

Greetings!
For some reason when I short or long tap on .avi files over the LAN plugin TC doesn't bring up an Enqueue option nor wil it play the .avi file in TC's media player. I've got an internal association of .avi -> TC Media player but still the same problem.
I've tried clearing the app associations (I have MX Video player installed) and even then then I have the same problem.
Can anyone help?

Unfortunately AVI is not supported by the used MediaPlayer control, only MP4 and 3GP (and MKV in some newer Android versions). See:

Ah okay. I didn't realize this. Thanks for letting me know so I don't keep going mad trying to force an association. :)

You should be able to stream to other players which support AVI also from the LAN plugin.

Yes MX Video Player streams very well from the TC LAN plugin. :)
