Xrecord/Video Archiver/My Videos Request

[KingArgyle]

Alright, Jeff, Jorm, or Reven, could any of you add the ability to launch an External Player when playing a Video. This option should only be available if it is running on a PC and not running on an MVP. Basically, I'd like the ability to use ZoomPlayer as my player instead of the built in GBPVR player. There are many reasons, but I personally like Zoomplayer, and my remote works well with it (I have a StreamZap remote).

Anyways, Zoom Player also has some nice features in that you can build play lists with it, so that you can say queue up an Intro, several trailers, and then the main video.

The command line options for Zoom Player can be found here:

Ideally, it should allow for any external player to be launched, if none is configured then it defaults to the standard GBPVR player.

king i could do this, i wrote the code to do it (i was going to use zoomplayer) but then sub added aspect ratio so i no longer needed it, the code is already in my videos.

will it be enough if i let you select a file to execute and then arguments to go along with that file
like:
External Player : C:\program files\zoomplayer\zoomPlayer.exe
Arguments : -play %FILENAME%
where %FILENAME% will be replaced by the files name. (you will probably need to use "%FILENAME%", i wont add quotes because some programs dont like them... ie project64).

Yep that will work. We'll enhance it after initial implementation.
