How to change default player for MMS: ?

[Burgurne]

I want to change default player from Windows Media Player to VLC for streaming TV.

Example: mms://media.tv.consoll.no/tv2sport

How do I do that?

You would usually do that here: Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations. But you need to know the filetype.

Just left mouse click on exemple link you posted. A window will prompt, click "search", find VLC instalation folder and select "VLC.exe".

Hope it helps!!!

Nope. When I leftclick the link, Windows Media Player starts up automatic. No selection or search window is shown.

AFAIK there IS no filetype in a streamed TV, it is all done by the MMS:// protocol.

I don't know VLC options / preferences but, it must have something like "turn VLC default media player"... I think installation setup do have it!!!

Try it!!!

I am unable to find anything that can switch the default player, when there is no filetype, as in streaming TV.

The inserted picture you have put here, I do not see. When I click on the link WMP starts up right away with no change to change anything.

example:
if u want to play WMV/AVI/MPG/Mp4 etc files with VLC
Right click on a associated WMV/AVI/MPG/Mp4 file.
click>open with
click>choose Default program
Select VLC player enlisted from there or browse for i
Check "Always use this selected program to open this file"
Click okey.

here u are, all .wmv file will open with vlc.

#9, There are no file extention to change as it is streamed, that's the problem. I am aware of file extention as you describe, but I still miss that single one that made VLC the default player. I have changed ALL the file extention which has something to to with video (.asf, .avi, MP4 aso) and all videofile I d.click starts in VLC, but NOT the streamed TV-link! I even found a key with regedit.exe that shows what to use when open MMS, but after I changed this to VLC ... it still opens in WMP.
And yes, I am sure that VLC support this, as I can see streamed TV in VLC, if I manually put the link into VLC (CTRL+N to open mediastream in VLC)

#10, No, I'm using Chrome as browser

Locate the streaming file, hold the Shift key and right-click the file. Are you able to see a menu where you can select Open With and then choose the application you want to use to play streaming files?
