Under the
Tools > Settings > Viewer > Quick Viewer [BUTTON] > Multimedia [TAB] > Media > Interface >
a user can choose either
- MCI
- Windows Media Player 6.0
- Windows Media Player 9.0
- VLC Player (must be installed)
which seems enough. But would it be possible to implement in a foreseeable future Media Player Classic [Home Cinema rendition] as the 5th player possible to choose from? It is a popular coomunity based free audio and video player with massive file format support. And it is being constantly upgraded along with K-Lite Codec Pack despite its official discontinuation as far as in 2017 [https://mpc-hc.org]
Some users have a modus operandi of using one player only for audio and some other only for video playback. And as:
- Windows Media Player 6.0 and Windows Media Player 9.0 are both from corporate Microsoft and have ben replaced with Groove Music [which is also to be replaced by a newer player];
- MCI is so unpopular that it is not even listed in Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MCI] and is audio-only program;
- VLC is cannot be split into VLC-for-audio and VLC-for-video;
adding another very configurable player covering both media ends would increase usability of the Viewer / Quick Viewer feature
Maybe it could be implemented instead of another Windows Media Player [newer] version?

The MPC-HC is continuesly developed and part of the K-Lite Codec Packs.
For me the best available combination which beats VLC.
Current version of MPC-HC is 1.9.22.12 from July 14 2022

Also the codec ack can install all codecs for use with the Windows media player
which means no need for VLC at all.
