If the list doesn’t offer any other media players then the one it defaulted it, then it’s quite possible that you don’t have any others installed.
You can now double click on the media file to play it in your preferred media player.
Thunar and PCManFM are also supported, so you shouldn’t have an issue if you’re using Xubuntu or Lubuntu either. This should work just fine for those using Nautilus as well as those using a file manager under KDE. Select the one you’re looking for and then click on the Close or OK buttons, depending on which file manager you’re using. You should see a line called “Open With:” which will feature a drop-down box next to it.Ĭlick on the box and you’ll see a list of valid media players that you could view the file with.
If you already know where to find the audio or video file you want to play and can find it in your file manager, then just right-click on it and select Properties from the context menu.
