add open with BSPlayer
 
i want to add BSPlayer to .wmv file 'open with' menu. WMP is my default player for .wmv files. for some reason i cannot add it by 'select program' and browsing bsplayer.exe in 'open with' menu. so is there way to do it via registry?

hope that you understand what i mean. :roll:

First of all it will be good to add WMV as extension in BSplayer. Then try to play a WMV file. Now it should let you add BSPlayer to open with list.

For some reason there are problems with the OpenWithList and BSplayer (discussed before somewhere in the forum)

Yes, you can, simply create these registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wmv\OpenWithList\bsplayer.exe

WMV extension is in BSPlayer.

Tizio 28th February 2006 08:25 PM

P.S.
I hope my suggestion works.. I never tried it :P

Digiface 28th February 2006 08:33 PM

it's still not appear to open with menu. even after reboot. i wonder do i have to add bsplayer path to that created key?

adicoto 28th February 2006 08:36 PM

Strange thing, I do have in righclick menu for WMV:
play in BSplayer
Enqueue in BSplayer
open (BSPlayer's too)
play (still BSPlayer's)
Open with----contains BSPlayer.

Digiface 28th February 2006 08:40 PM

Me too..

@ Digiface
You don't have to add the path to BSplayer executable since it's present (well, it should be present) at the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\Applications\b splayer.exe
that points to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\Applications\B SPLAYER.EXE\shell\open\command

Digiface 28th February 2006 08:58 PM

there's no any values in command key.

Tizio 28th February 2006 09:02 PM

:? there should be a value..
Try to add BSplayer executable path to the default value. i.e.:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\WEBTEH\BSPLAYER\BSPLAYER.EXE "%L"

Better use this to make BSPlayer appear in the rightclick menu. Not in a submenu. Less clicking required. Change the strings where required to match your system.

Code:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wmv]
@="ZZ_ASF_video"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_ASF_video]
@="Advanced Streaming Format video"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_ASF_video\DefaultIcon]
;; --- change this
@="D:\\Apps\\Bsplayer\\Bsplayer.exe,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_ASF_video\shell]
@="bsplayer"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_ASF_video\shell\bsplayer]
@="• BSplayer"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_ASF_video\shell\bsplayer\command]
;; --- change this
@="D:\\Apps\\Bsplayer\\Bsplayer.exe \"%L\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_ASF_video\shell\mplayer2]
@="• Windows Media"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_ASF_video\shell\mplayer2\command]
@="mplayer2.exe \"%L\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_ASF_video\shell\bloatedwmp]
@="• Windows Media GUI"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_ASF_video\shell\bloatedwmp\command]
@="wmplayer.exe \"%L\""

Yes, it's default player for all video files.

should it be "%L" or "%1"?

J7N 28th February 2006 09:17 PM

%L enforces long file name. %1 might give MSDOS file name. However I'm not sure if 8.3 filenames exist on WinXP (they did on WinME albeit were hidden).

Digiface 28th February 2006 09:22 PM

its still not there. but i installed this program http://www.baxbex.com/openexpert.html with it i can add bsplayer

J7N 28th February 2006 09:27 PM

You do not need to install a ton of programs for every simple function. If your context menu is able to run WMP, then you must also be able to run any other program. You need to add a simple command in <type>\shell\.

Tizio 28th February 2006 09:29 PM

Don't know if it's your case, but maybe your registry is a bit messed up :(
I don't know why it's not working for you and why you missed those values..

Anyhow I'm glad you were able to solve your problem with that utility :)

Digiface 28th February 2006 09:34 PM

there's no values under any shell sub-key.

J7N 28th February 2006 09:43 PM

I meant not the ".wmv" key but the key to which the (default) value refers to. For example .txt might refer to txtfile. See the example I posted before.
