Alternate media player for Vista media Center?

OK, sort trivial I guess. Anyway, I like using Vista Media Center to browse
my video collection, mostly divx rips of films and tv shows. Works great, but
I'd like to then launch the video in an external player, specifically GOM
player. Is there any way to configure Vista MC to use an external player
rather than it's embedded player?

Hey! Have you received any reply anywhere to this question? I want th
same as you do ..

Windows Media Player, WinAmp, iTunes come to mind. You could also use
Google to search...

I think you didn't understand the question ... how to replace Window
Media Player inside Windows Vista Media Center. For the record I use GO
Player when I'm not using Vista Media Center (this one I use only on m
media center pc). I know how to play media files ..

Vista Media Center uses Windows Media Player as the player for al
video and sound files (as well as pictures I believe) ... we want t
replace this software by another one like say: GOM Player that work
much better and is more responsive. In Media Portal you can do that ..
we were wondering if someone has done that in Vista Media Center

(Very condescending post BTW

Ohhhh I get it..
Just disable WMC like I did ( i hate it and disabled it always hung
then when you find a file just choose open with and always choose GOM o
the attached or any other and state to always use it

I don't think ya can -replace- WM

Doing that on a Media Center PC when you just have a media remote (not
mouse) to control your computer ... just does not work

I find that Vista Media Center does not hang ... but it is a bit slo
most of the time ...

I'll just try other media center software ... like Media Portal (agai
...

Thanks for the effort anyway :

Sorry, I was trying to help. I don't use Media Center. And certainly the
programs I mentioned are alternates for WMP.

And did you try a Google search?

Perhaps what you are asking about can't be accomplished.

Try the VLC media player.
