Change MPC-HC path #13

Open JoseHidalgo opened 6 years ago

JoseHidalgo commented 6 years ago

Hi, Trying to open links with MPC-HC in my computer results in an error (see attached screen cap) This is probably because my MPC-HC is not at the expected location (it's part of the K-Lite Codec Pack, so it's installed elsewhere) How can I change the expected path for MPC-HC ? Actually, it would be even better if your extension was able to open a dialog to allow users to change themselves while on Firefox. I don't know if that's possible. Thanks !

Hey, I found much simple solution for this problem.

  1. Open Firefox Add-ons Manager
  2. Click Extensions and find Send to Media Player Classic™ (MPC-HC) 0.1.3 or higher
  3. Click More / Option in it.
  4. Scroll down until you find "Custom Command"
  5. Change to your MPC location. If your MPC location was here "C:\Program Files (x86)\K-Lite Codec Pack\MPC-HC64\mpc-hc64.exe", replace all space with code %20 It will be look like this C:\Program%20Files%20(x86)\K-Lite%20Codec%20Pack\MPC-HC64\mpc-hc64.exe
  6. Click Save when done

Hope this will work for you too. Enjoy!
