honestly, I gave up on media player a long time ago, try GOM Player. It's
free, plays almost everything, and has a very light footprint.

make it default for all media and just forget about media player

Thanks for the tip on GOM player.
It seems to do all I want and more.
No need for media player now.
If I could delete it I would.

Gomplayer puts the Microsoft giant and its crappy media player11 to shame..

I hope MS never buys gomplayer though..
