VLC is installed and working, but FC won't use it

#1 Post by Timrath » 04.04.2022, 20:09

In Configure Viewer / Multimedia / Media / Interface, VLC Player is selected from the dropdown.
But when trying to launch a video, I get the exception: Cannot find installed video player.
How can I convince FC that VLC is indeed installed?

32 bit FC -> 32 bit VLC
64 bit FC -> 64 bit VLC

Thank you!
Is it possible to launch videos in VLC proper via Default Action (doubleclick & enter), rather than the internal viewer, while continuing to open images in the internal wiever via Default Action? In other words, is it possible to make Default Action open different file formats with different applications?
Doubleclick on jpg -> internal viewer
Doubleclick on video -> VLC
Doubleclick on bmp -> MS Paint
etc...

Thank you very much!
I had set a default action, but I didn't think of setting a filter. Stupid me. :oops:
