Winamp 5.11 Playing Video

Scott9027 · Nov 10, 2005

I have Winamp 5.11, and it says it can play video. How can I make this my default video player and override Windows Media Player. I tried changing the settings in Control Panel > Folder Settings, as well as disabling Windows Media Player's "make this the default player for" settings. I still can't seem to make my Winamp play video. Any suggestions?

I'm surprised fooling around with file associations in Explorer doesn't fix it for you...try that again, or look under Winamp's own "File Types" page in Preferences, and see if that does the trick.

Or right click on a file, select open with, then choose Winamp and check the box which says always use this program.

The choices when I right-click are Open Link and Open Link in New Window. And I set them in Control Panel and Winamp Preferences > File Types multiple times, but no success.

Could the problem be that I have SP1 instead of SP2?

This sounds like you're trying to play something from a website...what violineb is referring to is in Windows Explorer. If you can, in that "Open Link" etc. dialog box, if there's something like "Save Target As", that will download the file, where you will then be able to do the "Open With" thing.
