Media Player Classic file associating?

[ZileXa]

Simply add mplayerc.exe to a 7z file and extract it with RunOnceEx.
Use /regvid switch after that for file association.

BUT in my experience /regvid doesn't work at all. Same for /regaud.
unregvid and unregaud do work.

So I use an AutoIt script to associate with videofiles.

There is an unattended installer on my repository of MPC. It is specific to my liking.
It is a WinRAR archive making it easy for you to manipulate the install commands.
You can change the install directory etc, hope it solves your issues.

You da man shark!
but does the MPC when silently installed take the VIDEO file association?
that's my object
I made a self-extractor silent installer via WinRAR (mplayerc.exe + mplayerc.ini) but still facing the ASSOCIATION prob, I hope your file can solve it


EDIT
[quote]It registers video file-types and places a shortcut in the quicklaunch bar[/quote]
Oh thanx, but can you teach me how you made the association trick?!


EDIT2
btw, your Repository Bookmarked! Edited October 27, 2006 by Wesmosis

It is no trick. It is a well [b]documented feature[/b]. Provide a proper path and use [b]mplayerc.exe /regvid[/b]. One note about using my installer, if you are changing the installation path, you must also change the path in the vbs file to reflect the changes to get the shortcut properly created in the quicklaunch.

If you're still having problems I'm willing to modify my installer to meet your specific needs. Just [b]PM me[/b] where you want it installed and what you want associated [video/audio]. Also include what shortcut(s) you'd prefer. I'll reply to the PM with a download url. I'll use WinRAR so you can easily replace the ini file with your own just in case you havent seen the light and begun to [url="http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=66826&st=0&p=459562&#entry459562"][b]use my codec package[/b][/url] too.

I took this line from you self-extractor rar file:

[code]Setup="%programfiles%\Wesmosis\mplayerc.exe" /regvid[/code]

it wad so good and worked with my self-extractor rar file named (MPC.exe)
but one more stupid thing, how to disable the association with Playlists?!
I'm using MPC only for Videos, Winamp for sure for Audio files

Try this: /unregaud
Like this
[quote]Setup="%programfiles%\Wesmosis\mplayerc.exe" /regvid /unregaud[/quote]
