I can help there.  Save the below as a reg file and import it.  That or apply the registry keys yourself

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMikinhoOpenWithVideo.mkv]
"FileName"="C:Program Files (x86)ArcSoftTotalMedia Theatre 5uMCEPlayer5.exe"
"Arguments"=""{0}""

Thanks, this is a cool approach. For whatever reason whether I imported the registry key through regedit or double clicked the reg file it would not generate the FileName key attribute, but I was able to manually add the uMCEPlayer5.exe path in regedit. A few observations:

• I get the openwith config warning on filetypes that I did not assign to openwith, such as MP4…native playback still happens, but I have to click “OK” on the openwith message, so do I need to assign the default media player in 7MC (I don’t know what path that is) to avoid that message?
• MKV defaults most of the time to TMT5, but after stopping and resuming or opening another MKV, native playback opens it up instead of TMT5.
• I also tried using WMPx86 to launch, but that did not play nicely in terms of closing down when wanting to get back into 7MC.

Still messing around, but enjoy the knowledge seeing how openwith works. Thanks minkinho!
