.MTS preview shows text

[LateralNw]

I have done a search on the site for MTS but nothing seems to match what is happening here.
Thought I would mention it as a bug to try to help out.

I'm using Everything Version 1.5.0.1404a (x64)

here is an example of what I am seeing.

Preview works fine on other video formats.

Thanks.

This happens for all your .mts ?

Maybe throw up a sample of your smallest .mts where this happens.

On my end, Win7, the embedded WMP player displays (a thumbnail, I suppose it is).
(I don't know if WMP will actually play the file, as I've never used it, directly.)

Might you have changed a setting, in Everything, such that .mts happened to become associated with a "text" (pre)viewer (rather then, video)?

Is the Explorer able to preview that files ?

To set Everything to preview .mts files with the stock video preview handler:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  preview
• Select: preview_handlers
• Set the value to:
  [{"filter":"*.mts","handler":"{031ee060-67bc-460d-8847-e4a7c5e45a27}"}]
• Click OK.

sorry for the delay in replying.

Thanks, that works.

I posted it for two reasons
1. I couldn't see the preview

2. Because is it a beta 1.5a 1.5.0.1404a (x64) .
Is this considered a bug or deliberate that preview handlers has to have this added?

[{"filter":"*.mts","handler":"{031ee060-67bc-460d-8847-e4a7c5e45a27}"}]

Thanks again.

mts files preview with Windows media player out of the box on Windows 10/11.

The above just forces Everything to use Windows media player for the preview handler.
So something has changed the preview handler on your system.

Check if the preview also works under Windows Explorer.

Thanks for the reply.

Explorer works fine.
The preview window shows video .MTS.

I updated the version to Version 1.5.0.1408a (x64)
The preview is still working fine in everything.

Interesting is that all the icons show VLC as the default player which is correct. Does this mean the setting you supplied then defaults to the player that I have locked in to view all my video's?

The reason I updated was because I couldn't get the search to work with time.

Also when I clicked on check if there where updates for this version it replied No.

While searching the forum I found a newer version and installed it.
What I was looking for was how to search using time.
I found a thread talking about it and it looked like this was a problem that had been on the todo list for a long time.

Searching the forum I found another users way back asking for a fix and it seems it was just fixed. Great for me!

I was trying to search for a date and a specific time. I found that I had to use T before the time but it wasn't working with the date structure I had. DD/MM/YYYY

But version Version 1.5.0.1408a (x64) has addressed that so thanks again.

Love this program.

Thank you for your feedback LateralNw,

The advanced preview_handlers setting only applies to Everything.

The default player and the preview handler can be completely different.
-and in this case, the default player is vlc and the preview handler is Windows Media Player.

Changing the default player to vlc has likely caused Everything to not find the preview handler.



I have not push out update notifications for 1408a yet.

Thanks again.

The version i was referring to
1.5.0.1404a (x64) not 08a

All good.
