Internal Associations, 8.3 names

[kesdoputr]

mm,when i use Open83.cmd %2

I still can't change to next video when i select more than one files.

maybe wait if Total Commander will add more parameters in internal associations.

anyway thx for your reply ^^

when i use

START "" "%COMMANDER_PATH%\TOOLS\Mplayer\mplayer.exe" %*

It works when i select more than one files but i must use "%~s1"，

because mplayer now not support unicode path and filename but can use 8+3 format,

or if there have method to send 8+3 format but both can select multiple files?

Modify you open8.3.cmd

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
CLS

set ShortArgs=
:Loop
IF [%1]==[] GOTO Continue
	set ShortArgs=%ShortArgs% %~s1
	SHIFT
	GOTO Loop
:Continue
Echo %ShortArgs%

START "" "%COMMANDER_PATH%\TOOLS\Mplayer\mplayer.exe" %ShortArgs%

I too am having trouble with newest smplayer which can't play unicode filename in windows.
I tried to follow your guidance but due to my newbieness in IT I got lost.
Here's what I've been done:
1. installed Total Commander
2. made a new file Open83.cmd in Windows/System32, which contains a series line of code based on your tips
3. clueless in where to write "Open83.cmd %2" command
4. Opened TC - File - Internal Association- Add.. do I need to input all video type format in here?
5. Double-clicking any of unicode video file which resulting smplayer still crashed, eventhough I have checked smplayer's Preferences-Advance to "Pass short file name (8.3) to Mplayer"

Please help guide me step by step m(_ _)m
Mplayer navigation control made me hard to change to others media player
