How to disable XNView media player?

Post by amenx »

Hi,

Very nice program, just one small thing please... if I select the option for the video file to "open in associated program", sometimes it still opens in XNview media player (in the bottom corner) instead of my desired media player (Zoom Player). This problem is random, not always and even with standard vid formats like mpg/mpeg, etc. I deleted the mpeg.dll plugin and still the problem happens. I wish I can disable the XN media player to never open if possible, thank you.

Thank you, but if I disable video in browser/item displayed, I can not see the thumbnails of the vid clips. :)

Do you mean in the Preview panel?

In the Options>Browser>Items displayed, you can choose to have video Thumbnails (1st and 3rd columns checked) and not to show video in Preview (4th column unchecked).
If it is while viewing files with XnView, you can uncheck "Play movie" in Options>View>File list.
