Irfanview's external video player (IV_Player plugin)

[insectinegate]

While scrolling through a folder of pictures and videos, I see that videos get played on a popout window, and the media player used is Windows Media Player.

I have not used Windows Media Player in a long time, and I do not intend to do it again.

Is there a way to make sure Irfanview plays videos on another player e.g. VLC? And make it play within the Irfanview window, instead of a popout window. Maybe update the IV_Player plugin in future?

My tech info:

Win 10 64-bit b1709

Irfanview 64-bit, used as default image viewer.

VLC installed, used as default video player.

No codec packs installed.

Irfanview's internal video/sound player doesn't play the (mp4) videos, with or without Directshow enabled.

Thank you, I have been using Irfanview since the era of dialup internet in the 1990s.
