[mythtv-users] automatically launching VideoLan or Windows Media Player with .NUV files?

[Andrew Cheyne]

Hello,

   I've just started using MythTV, and the first thing my wife wants to 
be able to do is play her recorded shows on the PC (WinXP) in her 
office. I got it to work by doing this:

- Installed VideoLan client.
- Use Firefox to browse to the web server on my mythtv box, right-click 
on the ".nuv" link for the show I want to watch and select "Copy Link 
location".
- Open VideoLan and open the HTTP stream with the copied value.

   That all seems to be a bit manual. Is there a way I can tell Firefox 
to just automatically launch VideoLan with the file stream? Or, with the 
appropriate filters installed, could I get Windows Media Player to do 
the same thing?

Thanks!
Andrew
