I'm having issues playing AVS (AviSynth) script files in Windows Media Player. I actually need to play those in the WMP ActiveX control within an application. I first ask users to install K-Lite Codec Pack Basic.

Someone recommended me to go in Codec Tweak Tool, Preferred Splitters, and change AviSynth Script to LAV. That worked for the WMP ActiveX, but not WMP stand-alone application, for a while, but after playing with installs even that doesn't work anymore on my computer.

When I try to play a file in WMP, it doesn't do anything, it simply refuses to play because it doesn't recognize the codec. The only way to play it is File | Open, select the file, it complains it doesn't recognize the codec, but this time the file shows up in the playlist and I can double-click on it and this time it will play.

It *can* play the file but refuses to try. How can I get WMP to recognize AVS files and attempt to play them? Is there a way to achieve that configuration programmatically?

This will remove the unknown file type warning:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.avs]
"PerceivedType"="video"
"Permissions"=dword:0000000f
"Runtime"=dword:00000007

Great, that works for Windows Media Player stand-alone, but not for Windows Media Player ActiveX control. We're getting close!

What else could cause the ActiveX control to fail?

Damit. I found the problem. My fault!

I had added a line of code for testing that shouldn't be there.
