No Install Question

joe_mag · #1 (**permalink**) 6th October 2005

Hey all, I searched the FAQ and forum (using words like "install" and "codec" return LOTS of results) but I could not find an answer...

I would like to make a fully potable version of BS Player and all my codecs in a folder BS Player could access... Is there a way to make this possible? Taking BS Player without ANY installation of codecs, and be able to play any divx ".avi" with no codecs installed on the computer.

Pretty much I need to be able to play a media file on a computer I only have guest access on... windows folder is read-only and you can't install any programs... (but since BS player is available with no install needed, I thought this might be a possiblity).

Thanks,
Joe

so... what you're telling me is that it is impossible to toss all the codecs in a folder and make BSPlayer chose from those codecs to play ANY video file (as it would normally only looking in windows directories for codecs) And that I have to make a new INI file for every video file I ever want to play?

there is no way to just make 1 ini file with *.* in it and have BSPlayer do the rest for me?

------------------------

also I was having MAJOR troubles with HWmaker, it seemed like unless the media file was on the root of the drive it would not be able to find the file seemed like it was missing a "\" before the file name

Yes there are a lot of bugs (hwmaker is on an alpha stage level) but it is under heavy development the time being, so wait for an update.

No, it is possible with HWmaker (only one ini file for all video files). Just wait for an update (to fix the bugs) very soon.
