[QUOTE="emueyes, post: 835128, member: 118200"] HI grapitas I'm not sure what you mean. The choice to use the internal player or an external one is made is the MP config program. All this script does is to handle a list of players, and the types of files that the user wants to play on them. It could, I guess, have a whole page in the config utility to link file types and players, after all it's just a list, but the problem is making the list accessible to people. *Please note*, I am not in any way associated with the development of MediaPortal, and I certainly connot speak on the developer's behalf. As a rule of thumb though, coding the gui for something like that would be quite time consuming. (yes, i used to programme for a living) . I can definitely say though, that AutoHotKey is an incredibly useful tool, and allows me (or anyone else) to create little 'glue' programmes like this one. It'll compile the script into an exe, too, if needed; might make it a little quicker, but not even noticeable running on a machine you're playing 1080p videos on :). And it lets people customise their systems to do what they want. Rob [/QUOTE]
