I believe SMPlayer is quite a nice player.
However, as far as I know, a context menu is missing.
Does anybody out know some kind of a workaround?
I don't know if it is possible at all: is it possible to do a 'Send to' of a VIDEO_TS folder to SMPlayer?
Thanks

I've only been using SMPlayer a little while, and not regularly, and I'm using the portable version so I don't think there's an option for Explorer menus or file associations etc, otherwise it wouldn't be portable. I don't know what the "installer" does.
You can create a shortcut to smplayer.exe yourself and put it in the Windows SendTo folder.
For XP it's located at : "C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\SendTo"
For newer Windows I think it's "C:\Users\Your User Name"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo"
It's possibly hidden so you might need to set Explorer to show hidden/system files, or alternatively typeCode:shell:sendto
Once you've added a shortcut to the SendTo folder you can use it to open any supported file type, and also to open a VIDEO_TS folder.Last edited by hello_hello; 2nd Aug 2017 at 15:12.

Hello !
Many thanks indeed.
I placed an link of SMPlayer.exe in folder C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\ SendTo
and it worked fine.
Truly appreciate your help!
It is a timesaver.
Maybe one day SMPlayer itself will add a context menu (similar to VLC)
Until that time, this workaround is of great help.

I'm glad to have helped.
I tend to fill up the sendto folder with shortcuts for all my regularly used programs.
As an additional tip, you can create sub-folders and it works much like a traditional start menu, only from the right click/sendto menu. For example you could create a folder called "Media Players" containing shortcuts to any media players you use and put it in the sendto folder. It can help keep things more organised when there's quite a few sendto shortcuts.
