My goal is to enable the use of 64-bit version of Windows Media Player (WMP) by default. Apparently, this process involves more than just changing the shortcuts in desktop, start menu and taskbar to reference mplayer2.exe in Programs Files directory, the location of 64-bit WMP, and not Program Files (x86), location of 32-bit WMP. I am comfortable with editing the registry and backup regularly. Windows 10 x64 Education v20H2.
(1) What do the keys do?
(2) Do the paths need to be changed from Program Files (x86) to Program Files?
(3) Do the keys that show up in the WOW6432Node in particular need the paths changed from Program Files (x86) to Program Files?
I am very sure these two keys need to be changed. I believe these keys involve launching WMP from the Run box using an alias (i.e., mplayer2), right?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\mplayer2.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\mplayer2.exe
I am fairly sure these keys need to be modified as well since they are file type/web protocol associations, right?

Hi,
Per my search, there isn't exact resolution provided by Microsoft when switching WMP 64-bit as default but the experiences shared by users. Please allow me to share some of my findings related to your questions that might not be the exact answers.
(1) What do the keys do?
Most COM classes are registered with the operating system and are identified by a GUID that represents the Class Identifier (CLSID) within the registry (usually under HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID or HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID).The LocalServer32 key represents a path to an executable (exe) implementation.
VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, XviD, WMV, mp3, ogg, ...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.
Apple made popular this full-featured mp3 player-organizer and now it has a new version which is available for Windows users too. iTunes is thought to be one of the most completes tools to organize and play mp3 music files and the perfect partner for your iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod touch or iPhone. No matter the iPod you have, iTunes will suit it perfectly.
With iTunes you will be able to create and edit your playlists, search for your sound collection, create CD jewel inserts using album art and song listings. copy to your HD the music in your CDs or even create and burn your own CDs.
And if you have an iPod or an iPhone, you can sync it with iTunes, fast, effortless, and simple with the built-in Auto-Sync. Keep your iPod filled with all the newest additions to your iTunes library.
Yes, iTunes (64-bit) still runs on Windows. Apple replaced it in macOS Catalina in 2019, but on Windows it is still supported, including updates and other new features to make it easier for iPhone and iPad devices to interact with Microsoft's operating system.
To transfer files from iPhone to PC with iTunes (64-bit), you have to connect your iPhone via USB to your PC. After that, click on the device icon, and click on Settings to see what kind of content can be synchronized. After selecting it, click on synchronize, and all the items you have synchronized will be copied to the PC.

All March Networks media clips contain a secure hash (SHA-1) to detect tampering. Any editing of a media clip will invalidate the authentication and may render the file unsuitable for court purposes. Video clip authentication is included in our players.
If you are downloading our codecs to play video in a third-party application like Windows Media Player, please note that third-party players do not provide video authentication or detailed time information.
Use the links below to playback video clips and associated audio, as well as review snapshots and transaction information, exported from any March Networks recording platform via the Command Client 1.8 or higher.
Whilst the various media player developers attempt to convince us to use their codec to encode our home video, this means that we often have to have more than one media player installed to play every video, audio and other media, on our computer. Factor in old videos that were encoded using codecs that have been long discontinued, then it becomes a real pain to just play back your collection of movies.
By installing VLC Media Player across your various computers, you can be assured that a video that plays back on your Mac will also play on your PC. It also supports Internet-based media streaming, so you can use the player to listen to a streamed audio stream and much more.
VLC 2 on the Mac platform replaced the simplistic interface of version 1.x in favour of something more akin to iTunes, while also embracing the look of OS X Lion. It opens in Playlist view, with a two-paned window containing a list of common locations for media files in the left-hand pane, and an invitation to drag and drop files into the window for playback on the right.
Sib. 7.1.3: Sibelius can't play this video (but WMP can)
Posted by aaronnt1 - 29 Sep 01:08PM Hide picture I have a video I'm trying to add to my Sibelius project. It is an MP4 file and all my other video players can play it fine, VLC, Windows Media Player and my DAW Reaper. Yet Sibelius tells me the correct codecs are not installed and so can't play the file!
Isn't Sibelius supposed to be able to play whatever file format the OS can play? And I thought it simply uses Windows Media Player to play files so any ideas why it can't play
this file?
Many thanks. Back to top Allthreads Re: Sib. 7.1.3: Sibelius can't play this video (but WMP can)
Posted by Robin Walker - 29 Sep 01:54PM Hide picture Perhaps you are running Sibelius in 64-bit mode, and all the other applications are 32-bit, using 32-bit codecs.
There is a third-party set of installable codecs which include 64-bit support for many video formats that are not supported in shipping versions of Windows 64-bit.
Go to _kl.htm to download the K-Lite codec pack. Of the four varieties (basic, standard, full, mega) offered, you need only the Basic version for enabling QuickTime and other video formats playback in Sibelius 64-bit (you may choose more feature-full versions if you have other reasons for wanting them). With effect from version 10.0 onwards, K-Lite has a combined 32-bit and 64-bit installer, so you don't need to choose 32 vs 64-bit.
When about to download, take care to avoid clicking on any of the eye-catching buttons labelled "Download", which are adverts for something else entirely, which you probably do not want. For the K-Lite download, the site will send you via plain links to a third-party download site (such as MajorGeeks).
When you install K-Lite Basic, you can afford to accept all the default installation options, EXCEPT the free offers to download various freebie products which you almost certainly do not want: take care to avoid those.
Once K-Lite has been installed, try launching Sibelius 64-bit. If you open Scores\Sibelius Example Scores\Project Files\Project 5.sib you should be able to play the Mr Bean QuickTime movie in 64-bits.

Posted by aaronnt1 - 29 Sep 02:38PM Hide picture Hi thanks Robin
my OS is 64 bit so I assume WMP is also 64 bit, Reaper 64 bit and yes Sibelius 64 bit too. Strange but you may be right. Anyway, I converted the file to AVI and now it works fine in Sibelius.
Thanks again. Back to top Allthreads
