Not have trailers launch an external player

[JAJ 11]

Is there a way to not have trailers (either from the channel folder or before a movie in cinema mode) to not launch an external player (mpc-hc)? My current setup uses the external player feature in MBC for all my movies (which are in .mp4 format), and now it seems the Internet trailers are streaming in .mp4. So the external player loads the stream and plays it. This process takes a little while (about 30 seconds or so) for every streaming trailer, so it would be nice if the trailers could just be played by the internal player and not trigger the external one to fire up. I was looking in the server to see if there is a way for me to change the .mp4 extension of the trailers, but since I have them streaming I do not think I can.

 

Hope that someone can help.

Thank You

There is no different setting for trailers vs anything else at this point.  We used to force them into the internal and most people wanted them to play in their external if they had that configured.

Thank you for the info.

  Maybe its just my setup, but I have mpc-hc as my external player with MadVR and reclock to get the best quality from my backed up dvd's in .mp4 format. So it seems that those settings also apply to the internet trailer streams which takes a bit longer than a local video (I see a blank screen for about 20 sec or so while it is processing it for quality) so I was just hoping for a way to exclude them from the external player.

  If some else uses this setup maybe they could share there settings with me to see if there is a way I could have mpc-hc play the internet streams faster. ( I have a powerful pc and fantastic internet connection, so that should not be an issue) Maybe I missing a setting in the player. Although I have been searching for a while for a solution.

 

 Thank You for your help.
