But I found that I have mmedia plugin in FC.
Yes, of course!
In fact, I came to know about mmedia thanks to your screenshot only!
I have used the
k-lite codec mega pack for years, and I use the "install everything" option.
I also keep it updated.
So I am surprised that the mmedia plugin didn't work.
After all, I did try out all four versions very systematically, one at a time (32-bit and 64-bit; with/without DLLs).
So one of them should have worked, IMHO!
I just extracted the 32-bit version w/o dll in a new folder and added a plugin entry in FC that points to the file named "mmedia.uwlx".
And most important of all, I made sure that uLister is below mmedia in the plugins list.
So all conditions are met.
And yet I am facing five distinct problems:
1. uLister hijacks the video/audio files. (I can tell this because the header bar of QV shows "uLister" at right.)
2. Even if I disable sLister
and uLister (by unchecking the checkboxes), mmedia does not take over.
3. If I hover the mouse on QV and press ALT+SHFT+P (or use the context menu), I am unable to switch to mmedia.
uLister never gives up.
4. If I disable all plugins (sLister, mmedia, uLister), QV reverts to the native media player. This is expected.
But in case of pdf files, QV does not revert to Foxit pdfreader, which was invoked in QV earlier.
The QV remains blank, but there are no errors. (When I install Foxit pdfReader, it is used in QV automatically.).
In other words, uLister displaces Foxit pdfReader permanently.
5. If I enable just the uLister, it again hogs QV, and shows error!

(I just checked: Oracle Viewer Technology supports only metadata reading for media files; not full support.)
BTW I also noticed that the Detected strings field has "multimedia" in both sLister and mmedia; and mmedia is below sLister in my plugin list.
So logically sLister should take over all multimedia, right?
Then why is uLister hijacking multimedia files, despite being listed at the bottom of the list??
