As this thread is more than 2 years old, let me add my "3 cents" to it
I am a happy user of ET 1.5.0.1275a (x64) on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. However, I have set media handler to Potplayer because it has options that Windows Media Player does not. That’s why I would not like to change this setting.
As ignorant as I may occur, I understand that ET uses default Windows handler to play media in the preview panel, but all it does with my settings is that it displays a still image in the preview panel without any play, stop, etc. features, whilst the Total Commander and several other applications display fully operable movies in their preview panels. This means that the developers of TC and of these applications somehow managed to make my handler work properly in their applications.
Could that be the case of ET as well? Of course, I will welcome advice on how – on my own – I should make it work as desired (i.e. change settings, etc.)?
Best regards to all ET staff and cheers!
