I gave up and installed VLC and SMplayer, and they'll play just about anything, from the get go. Usually, one can right-click on a file in a file browser, or on the desktop, and choose "properties." When the properties window pops up, go to the "open with" tab, and that'll set the program that will open that type of file up, whenever you double-click on them. + I wanted to be able to go down the list in a file manager and and double click to start the viewer.

I have spent the last hour googling without success: How to make the default video player "VLC" and remove the "Videos" item offered whenever I go to view one. I haven't even been able to determine what application "Videos" starts, but it never does anything but put a spinner on the screen. I don't want to fix it, I just want it to go away and be replaced with VLC which always works. Any help appreciated, Bob. / /Sorry for the noise. I found that I could select VLC as the default in Thunar and that solves my immediate problem. bobg / // -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-27/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3 -- Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box10 FEDORA-27/64bit LINUX XFCE Fastmail POP3 ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
