SMPlayer Support Forum

Hi Guys!

I love mplayer, and definitely love the smplayer frontend! amazing work.

I am using the smaplyer 0.6.8 SVN r321 with mplayer.exe version SVN r29355-4.5.0

The reason for the older mplayer.exe version was I could not get direct3d support working in the newer version back when I tried.

I just tried the features I am asking for or reporting in the latest portable version however, so they still seem relevant.

The first thing I noticed is that SMplayer stops working with the start menu in windows 7/server. For commonly used programs, they appear in the startmenu and a menu expands to show files recently opened with them. For SMplayer this menu never expands.

Now, a bit of a feature request, but is there any way to map smplayer to go to the next file in a directory? It is one of my most missed features from zoom player. In a director of tv shows you could just press pdgn to play the next one without having to leave the player. It made searching quite good as well. Is anything similar to this possible with smplayer?

Lastly, I was wondering if there is a way to make playlists from within windows exporer? e.g. if I select 20 mp3 files, when I open them now it opens 20 instances of smplayer all playing at once. Is there any way to change this so they would be added to a playlist instead?

Cheers!

The playlist behaviour is still very odd. I would rather have many instances because I like to have many movies open at once, but would alo like to be able to open multiple files at once and have them automatically load in a playlist.

The enqueue option does not do this, and isnt really meant to. Is there any way to get the behaviour I describe?

Anyway, thanks for your other replies and all the hard work!
