Adding MM2024 to Explorer context menu [#20905]

Post by idledim »

Hi / MM5 allowed me to right click explorer context menu for play now, queue next and queue now. Is there a simple way to do this with the 2024 Betas? Now, when i right click on a folder, I just see the MM5 options. If I click on those I get a message about it not being possible because MMHelper.dll is missing. Grateful for any advice.Thanks

Did you do a full or Portable Install of MediaMonkey, and did you set it under Tools > Options > OS Integration?

I did a full installation and the three context menu options are ticked in OS Integration.

After normal installing latest beta 3018, my context menu still has the old text "Play in MediaMonkey 5", but it does open MM2024 and play it there.

Is that what your concern is, or are you completely lacking any MM context menu items??

I still have the MM5 options in context menu but get this message when accessing:
"The code execution cannot proceed because MMhelper.dll was not found. Reinstalling the programme may fix this problem."

So far I've tried reinstalling and also installing as portable, but without success. It's probably my system if you're still able to do it, but grateful for any advice on how to fix as this is the main way I access MM. Thanks

Update - fixed itself a moment ago after doing a windows update. Thanks for letting me knowing it was still working for you! Cheers.
