Hi
nice program,it opens in a browser so my question is I did a filder
with video files but is there a way toadd an open with right click
menu? I want to open in other video players,if I am in the folder I
can do this but not in the index it created.
Thank You
Rod

In Firefox, you can set up which external apps handle video files in the Tools->Options->Applications menu.  It may be possible to create a popup menu directing the browser to play a video file with a particular media player using javascript.  Adding javascript to a dirhtml script is easy, but overcoming default file type handlers may be difficult.

As an alternative to creating html files, you might try another program of mine, M3U Dropper, which creates playlists.  It allows the user to select the media player to use.
