How to Use MPC to Stream
Use Media Player Classic (MPC) to stream your audio and video files by default, instead of other media player applications. Media Player Classic is a free audio and video player that does not require normal installation, such as running an installer EXE. MPC has the ability to display subtitles, operates on both 32- and 64-bit systems and comes with an assortment of audio and video codecs for playing various types of files. Go into MPC's settings screen and set it to play all formats, in order to have all streaming media played by the application.
