Nice Media Player

[jmorton10]

I have the paid version of Kinoma also & I agree, it has the best youtube playback period.

Unfortunately, there are enough negatives to the program (stealing ALL the file associations without asking, no way to turn off the scanning on every single start etc etc) that support has stubbornly refused to address that I am seriously considering deleting it from my system.

That's unfortunate. I personally do not mind if Kinoma associates itself with certain files.
The player is the quickest, cleanest all in one media I've seen yet. (BTW, I think resco explorer can resubmit a default app?)
I keep kinoma running so no worries for me on the scanning issue.

To each their own I suppose

Yes, Resco File Explorer does have a feature [almost identical to Windows XP] to 'Open With...' and 'Set as default program for this file type'

I wouldn't mind either if it asked permission first. To take over all the associations without even asking is horrendously bad programming however.

It really annoys me that if I click on a simple jpeg image from the file browser it insists on opening Kinoma & going through all the scanning etc just to view an image.

I already has s2v & s2p installed & those are the apps I installed because I like them & to have them removed as the default programs for music & image viewing without my permissionis really really annoying to me......

....Yes, but.........Resco file explorer to the rescue if need be.
Thanks for the confirmation Sauman.

Thanks, I'll check that out right now (although I shouldn't have to install yet another program to undo the damage done by the invasiveness of the first program).

Agreed. It is a bit frustrating. Hopefully the makers of Kinoma will disable this function in future releases.

Well, you guys are right. That worked super, I asked here repeatedly if anybody knew of an easy way to restore file associations & nobody ever mentioned this option.

I can't believe it's this easy & nobody brought it up before, thankyou guys very much (this will probably allow me to keep KinomaPlay installed). Now, all I need is a regedit to stop the Kinoma auto-scanning & everything will be perfect............

glad it worked out for you....fingers crossed on the auto scan disabling!

I honestly don't understand tech supports flat out refusal to allow this (or at the very least let the USER decide what folders to scan/not scan).

They seem to think everyone who buys this program is too stupid or such a noob that it is mandatory for the program to handle it for you (there are no user config options of any kind whatever)

People on this board & on their own tech support board have asked repeatedly for this to be remedied, but they totally ignore the requests.
