Title: [SOLVED] AIMP 5 & Windows 10 - no reaction to playlist files
Post by: rado84 on June 23, 2022, 06:10:16
2 months ago I PMed Artem about a problem with the player in Windows 10 - that it doesn't react to double click on any type of playlists. In Windows 7 it used to react - the playlist was executed immediately, but in Windows 10 the player doesn't seem to care that I've double clicked a playlist (a PLS file, in my case). I tried what Artem said back then:

Please try to do following steps:
1) Uncheck all options in the "Options \ System \ Integration" page
2) Apply changes and close the application
3) Restart the computer
4) Remove the AIMP-ContextMenu.ini from С:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\AIMP\ folder
5) Restore options state in the "Options \ System \ Integration" page
6) Apply changes.

But that didn't change anything. I reinstalled Windows 10 a few times, fully updated it, deleted AIMP folder in Roaming and recreated all the settings from scratch, but still no change. At first I thought maybe Total Commander was glitching but it was the same with Windows Explorer and with the program named "Files" - still no reaction to double click on a playlist! I've also set AIMP5 to be started as administrator but that too didn't change anything. I even tried saving the playlist in different formats - all available formats that the player supports.

The only way I could make AIMP 5 detect and execute a playlist is if I right click on it and select AIMP's icon in the context menu and then "Run playlist".

Now even the context menu function doesn't work anymore. As you can see on the video, the songs appear in the playlist window but the playback doesn't start, even when AIMP was set to run as admin. For comparison, the old and abandoned JetAudio plays the same playlist instantly without any problems.
The installed version is aimp_5.03.2392_w32.exe which I downloaded from AIMP's website.

You don't see how the songs don't start playing, despite that the player is set to immediately start playing when a playlist is loaded? You don't see how right clicking on the context menu named "AIMP" and then selecting "Play" also doesn't start playback? Maybe you need glasses and we should let Artem see the video...

It's interesting that all versions "targeting" Windows 10 behave in that weird way, whereas AIMP 3.60 and lower version which were made for up to Windows 8 - they all behave as they should: clicking a playlist starts playback instantly.

I'll enable that option but it's weird because it has always worked fine without it so far - all AIMPs before version 5 worked just fine without it.
Edit 1: that worked. Thanks for helping with that! :)

Edit 2: Something else I forgot to mention before - as you can see in my settings, AIMP is set to autolaunch at Windows startup. But in fact it doesn't - I have to launch it manually. That was one of the reasons I had it set to start as admin.

I'm not sure what you mean by "ok" when there are dozens of topics ever since 2017 that autostart on Windows 10 has never worked.
Anyway, the main case is closed and I'll figure out another way to have it autostart.

The only thing that worked was to put a bat file (the file itself, not a shortcut) in "shell:startup".
