The open in MediaInfo context menu option no longer works in Explorer++ on my system (nothing happens). I am not sure when it stopped working. It does work in Windows Explorer, so it seems to be some kind of compatibility issue with Explorer++.
I am on Windows 10 64-bit with Explorer++ 1.3.5.531 (64-bit Unicode build) & MediaInfo 20.03.
Edit: Is there something I can try to get it working? Or is it likely something that would require rebuilding Explorer++? I have tried uninstalling & re-installing MediaInfo.
Edit: I created a custom context menu action with FileTypesMan which works. So I am satisfied with that. But it might still be worth looking into why the default context menu item does not work in Explorer++.
This is the registry key:
MediaInfo Context Menu Not Working
Re: MediaInfo Context Menu Not Working
Sorry for the double post, but perhaps it has been long enough to justify a bump?
To update the details of my earlier post, I have found that MediaInfo context menu works fine for some file types. It is the Matroska (.mkv) files that I am having issues with.
The following is the context menu information provided by FileTypesMan:
The default & custom .mkv entries look the same to me (other than the icon line, which shouldn't affect anything). I have tested .mkv, .mp4, .avi, & .flv file types. The .mkv is the only one that doesn't work.
Edit: Found I have the same issue with the Matroska .mka audio file extension.
