Use Shift-[\] to open the MMP config dialog
Use Ctrl-[H] to open a [H]elp panel
controls: F10, F11, F12
By default, the [F10], [F11] and [F12] keys will open the current media file in PotPlayer1), LosslessCut2), and ShotCut, respectively3) 4).
You can override the default behaviour in your MinimalistMediaPlayer.conf file.
When you first install MMP, the .conf file will contain the following lines:
F10=
F11=
F12=
Now that MMP provides excellent video and audio editing facilities (Ctrl [E]), you may prefer to reprogram F11 so you can open images in MSPaint or, as in this example, the old classic version of Paint.
This simply requires amending the .conf file to, for example, the following:
F10=
F11=B:\Tools\Classic Paint\Program\mspaint.exe
F12=
Without having to restart MMP, the [F10] and [F12] keys work exactly as before but [F11] will now open the current file in mspaint.exe.
You can specify any executable file on your computer: this includes .exe files, batch files, .lnk shortcuts, etc. In other words, anything that Windows considers “executable”.
MMP knows nothing about the applications you specify. It will therefore let you try and open a video in mspaint!
Do not enclose long path names or those containing spaces in double quotes (“…”). MMP and the Windows Shell will take care of long names and spaces for you.
this is actually a left-over from a previous incarnation of
MMP which used Windows Media Player to play the media files; there were some files it couldn't play, particularly many .flv videos.In that case it was useful to have Pot Player as a backup player.
MMP/MPV/FFmpeg have no such problems
MMP provided its own editing tool, the Audio & Video Timeline Editor.For basic editing,
MMP is in some ways, and intentionally, superior to both LosslessCut and ShotCutPotPlayer: C:\Program Files\DAUM\PotPlayer\
LosslessCut: C:\Program Files\LosslessCut-win-x64\
ShotCut: C:\Program Files\Shotcut\
