Warborg

I see... Ok, well it was just a suggestion... I wish I could help, but unfortunately I haven't the programming skills to do so. Hopefully this is something you will be able to at some point implement, as I do love the GameEX frontend overall and think it's very smooth the way everything is integrated. I guess I just have this specific need for it that a lot of the users don't... I'll still look at a few options of how to do this without it being too clunky, maybe I can still use it for what I want. Perhaps just set up MPC as a secondary player just for anime or something. And maybe just see if I can configure it just to play off the DVD-ROM drive and not off any hard drive path, so we can just pop in an anime CD/DVD and use MPC just for that... But please, don't abandon the idea of integrating this into the internal player!

I didn't mean this as an insult to your frontend, but I do feel that it's a lack of an important feature... Several other applications have this, such as Zoomplayer, BSPlayer, TCMP, MPC, Mediaportal... I know Mediaportal is opensource, perhaps the devs there can give you some ideas on how to do so? Excuse my frusteration, it's just that your frontend pretty much is ideal for what I want to do, except for this one huge stumbling block for me... As far as the shortcut idea for MPC, I played with it, but frankly it's just too kludgy for my tastes... I just simply want to keep my videos in their respective places and be able to play them, and even using MPC as an emulator just looks a little too "patchwork" for what I want. I'm using Mediaportal right now, which is a very nice app, but it's setup isn't as smooth, nor is it's integration of emulators as seamless. I wish I could just smush the two apps together...

Well, I'm going to assume that this isn't a built-in option for GameEX judging by the only reply I got, which is disappointing to say the least. GameEX seems like a nice front end (although I also am having problems getting SFIIIn to show up in the MAME list), but this glaring lack in the built-in video player is a huge issue for me, to the point I don't think I'll be able to use it for what I want, as we tend to watch a lot of anime, and a lot of it is in dual-audio. I am suprised tho, as I did read that this simple feature was requested over a year ago and never addressed... I mean, I'd have already registered the app if it just had this ability. I did also try adding MPC as an emulator as outlined in another thread, and got it to work somewhat but frankly it's a bit cumbersome, and the inability to set multiple paths or UNCs is a real killer with it, as I have videos stored across the network on several PCs and on multiple drives. So one final question for everyone out there then, does anyone know a way possibly to set up FFDSHOW with some sort of keyboard shortcut and using some sort of video overlay to maybe turn subtitles on and off, and maybe switch the audio tracks?

Ok... So I've looked at the feature requests thread, and I see it was asked for a little over a year ago to switch audio tracks and subtitles in OGM/MKV file playback... I've seen similar questions posed previously without a definitive answer... Is there ANY support in GameEX to be able to do this? I would think this would be a very basic feature for media playback and had a hard time believing it wasn't actually a function in this app. I am getting ready to rebuild my media PC and really wanted to use GameEX for the frontend to make an "emulation console", and we also use it to play back a lot of anime, which of course a lot of it uses OGM format with multiple audio tracks and subtitles. So GameEX would have been ideal for my uses and I was all warmed up to register when I noticed this function wasn't mentioned anywhere. So please, can someone tell me if this in fact possible, or if there is a way to use an external player such as Media Player Classic to play said files this way? And I mean is there a way to integrate it into GameEX, not have to launch the player, and then open the file from within the player. I'd like to be able to just browse to the file from within the video listing and click on the file, and have it launch in the appropriate player. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to be able to reg this soon and get this project rolling...
