Plugin to open videos in VLC?

Would it be so hard to make a plugin that just opens videos in vlc etc ?

You might try [a href='index.php?showtopic=52068']this[/a] if it works.
Full-quoting makes you scroll past the same junk over and over.

Here is a little foo_wsh_panel_mod script.

Code: [Select]
function on_playback_new_track(metadb) {
   var file = fb.TitleFormat("%path%").EvalWithMetadb(metadb);
   var ext = file.split("/").pop().split(".").pop();
   if(ext == "mp4") {
      fb.stop();
      var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
      WshShell.Run( "rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + file );
   }
}

It starts the programm who is registerd to mp4.

To throw yet another suggestion in, you could try Run Services (foo_run).

Thanks! It works as expected, stopping the song and openning the videofile in the external player, but foobar2000 sort of hangs, or responds to input (mouse click or keyboard scrolling) slowly. What might that be?

Sorry i don't know. Runs fine here.
Try to use a strictly path to vlc or any player you prefered.
i.e.
Code: [Select]
WshShell.Run( '"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe" -f ' + '"' + file + '"' );

-f gives FullScreen
