Not able to set the player as Default player under settings and Properties #275

Open Rishieharan opened 5 years ago

Rishieharan commented 5 years ago

In windows, I am trying to set the player as the default under Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs but it doesn't show BakaM player option at all there. The I tried Right click -> Properties -> Change (Opens with). I browse through and select the application but the default remains as the previous player and doesn't change to this.

Honestly, I haven't used Windows in such a long time I'm not even sure how this could be done. Hopefully someone else with a Windows computer will be able to help.

Same here @u8sand . After a long time I had to get back to Windows and didn't wanna use any other players. But here I am, stuck at this. I recently got a new patch for Win and I am a bit suspicious it might be a patch problem. But if someone else has faced the same problem, It would be helpful if I get a solution here.

@Rishieharan I'm new to literally everything with tech and code, installgentoo led me here and I'm having the same issue as you. I tried downloading "FilesTypeMan" for windows 10 to see if it could add the program to the recognized list, so I'm pretty sure the answer to our problem is hidden in here. But I'm also a brainlet and have no idea what I'm doing, if you get anywhere with it, pls reply. https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html

If there is some specific file or setting that needs to be provided let me know. In the past windows would let you set any program by just selecting it on the open with menu.

I don't really know how to register the application's mimetype capabilities with windows. On linux its a . desktop file. I can look / ask around; if anyone finds anything please let us know here.

I did some browsing and I've found that this involves registering the application in a few different registry locations.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/shell/how-to-register-a-file-type-for-a-new-application

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/shell/fa-sample-scenarios

A registry script would have to be devisied, we could then just add a way to apply in preferences.

I'm interested in this topic also. It would be nice if Baka-MPlayer could be compiled for Windows 10 and added to the Microsoft Store. I'm guessing it would have to use the Centennial Bridge.

Might you be interested in tackling this? I don't have access to a windows 10 machine. We have compiled baka on Windows in the past.
