Using external music player - docs outdated?

Karson · 2006-10-23, 00:59

I'm trying to use Foobar2000 as my external music player in MP so I can take advantage of kernel streaming, but when I try and follow the online music setup instructions (http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/MediaPortalSetup_Music) I notice that my screen is different than the screenshot in the pic, and that my dropdown for internal music player only shows "Internal dshow player" and "BASS engine" with no way to select Foobar2000 or Winamp (also installed on my system). I went to the Plugins section and I see both Winamp and Foobar2000 are in the External Players section and enabled, but I can't figure out how to tell MP to use Foobar2000 instead of WMP!

Any advice would be appreciated!
