Opera's Choice for Media Player

[Gnosis]

When I use my Opera browser it wants to activate my VLC Player when I open video content. I want it to utilize Windows Media Player. How can I remedy this?

Note: Firefox and Chrome are, and have been, utilizing Media Player when I surf.

First question: Why do you want to use WMP and not VLC? VLC supports on average more types.
See, it's really easy on Kubuntu since KMclient.exec picks the system default.

Is this what you mean?

Go to:

Assuming you have WMP installed and enabled:
http://www.opera.com/docs/plugins/installation/#wmp

Download the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin and install.

I have Windows Media Player 11. I am very happy with it.

I have VLC Media Player and DivX Media Player. I only prefer to use them when they are required at fastpasstv.eu. I want Windows Media Player to fulfill all other video requirements as it does when I am surfing with Chrome and Firefox.

The problem that I am having is that when I am surfing with Opera and I click to open video content, VLC Player steps in. I want WMP to step in instead, as it does with Chrome and Firefox for the exact same video.

Ok. I just now viewed the last part of your post, stormgtr. I think that is what I need to study.

Thanks. I fixed it. For some reason WMP was unchecked on Program Access and Defaults. I rechecked it and all is well.

Let's face it. I am a lunatic who surfs with 4 different browsers. Yikes.
