[Request] Please make similar Chrome extension for MPC-HC

[bibsp]

Actually I found similar extension like yours, but that is not maintained anymore. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/send-to-vlc-videolan-medi/hfckgfbhdacemicpjljhfbjmkiggeche https://github.com/belaviyo/send-to-vlc

In this extension if I change application path (like: "C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe") in option it actually works for other players. But in your extension if I do the same it doesn't work for other players.

So my request is to take code from that project (https://github.com/belaviyo/send-to-vlc) and make a separate extension for MPC-HC. It will be like Open in MPC-HC. Please sir...

I just checked the extension with a custom application, and it works as expected. Double-check the executable path and retry.

What are your browser and OS?

[bibsp]

Chrome Windows 10 21h2

Which extension? Yours? Or belaviyo's?

[andy-portmen]

Which extension?

Mine

[bibsp]

No that's not working. Even though it works, it is not my request to you.

https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/send-to-media-player-classic-mpc-hc/ I'm requesting for this kind of thing for chrome.

Don't know why that person removed his extension for other players from chrome web store. But they are available on Firefox and Opera.

Please make a chrome extension named Open in MPC like him.

Yes it is working with MPC "C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe" - Doesn't work C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe - Works

Inverted commas were culprits.

So almost everything is working. Only need to change the name to Open in MPC, Logo, and default path to C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe.

And fix one bug. Right click menu not working. Sample: https://anonfiles.com/9ew8C8O8xd/2022-03-16_17-33-58_Trim_mp4 This is not MPC bug. The problem is not there in belaviyo's send to vlc.

It is very unlikely that I submit and maintain a new extension. There are many video players out there, and we cannot support all of them. You can download the GT project to a local directory and edit the title in the manifest.json file. For icons, replace the ones in the data/icons directory. That's it.

For the right-click to appear, the link need to have a valid extension .mp4 instead of _mp4

I don't know how to do those things. 😥 But I'm sure that it is not a big headache for you to create another extension, because everything is already implemented.

Still if You really don't want to make different extensions for different players, You can do one thing. Rename your current extension to Open in External Player. Use a generic icon instead of VLC, MPC icons. No need of different icons basically. Set default path to vlc, so vlc users will not face any problem after update. Other people will set application path as per their need.

This looks so odd that I'm clicking on open in vlc, and it is launching a different player.

You can fix this in your code. Because belaviyo's one works well in right click menu. Code can be copied from there.
