Here in the MP1 notes it shows how to use an use 'external (Video) player'

Q1: But how do I access this setting in MP2 ?

Also:
Q2: Can I add a new file extension (that's not currently listed) to the 'default Windows Media Video (WMV) internal player' ?

Q3: If so, how?

Many thanks

MP2 does not support external video players, accordingly there is not such setting.

Many thanks for the reply.

Well that seems a shortcoming?

So what about...

    I honestly do not understand the question, maybe somebody else does. Do you want to play a file, that doesn’t have windows media player set as player, means you can not play it on double click due to file extension?

    Can I add a new file extension (that's not currently listed)
    Following questions come to my mind:
    1. What file extension is it?
    2. Does the Windows MediaPlayer is able to play it back?
    Depending on your answers there are options to check

    It is not automatic like mp1 but you could set up the "Launcher" plugin and manually launch an external video player from mp2.
    I believe the Launcher plugin is included in the mp 2.4 install.
