    How to open multiple instances/windows of films and tv media player?


    I know you can do this with VLC media player which I have, but I like to use films and tv for just personal preference for some mp4 videos, but every time I open another mp4 while another one is open, it plays the second mp4 but in the same windows, making the other mp4 stop playing. Is there any way to have multiple mp4's playing at the same time ?

    Subtitles are not working in Windows 10 Media Player and in Film & TV app

    I used the same name of the video file and the .srt file in the same folder but subtitles are not working in both Windows 10 Media Player and Film & TV app.

    How to run subtitles in Windows 10 Media Player and in Film & TV app ?

    Film and TV app codecs, Windows 10

    I have a digital recorder that saves the files in '.ts' format, which by default opens in the Film and TV app in windows 10, but then states that the format is not compatible. The files open fine and play in 'Windows Media Player' however they will not display
    as thumbnails in 'File Explorer' which they did in Windows 8.1 before I upgraded. I can convert them to '.mp4' and then see the thumbnails. The files will then play in 'Film and TV' and in 'Media Player'. Is this a codec problem, or would I be better served
    just getting rid of the Film and TV app and setting all the defaults to Media Player?

    I understand there are a very large number of video formats about, but Media Player clearly has the necessary codec and Film and TV on the same computer does not.

    Just to confuse the issue I have other '.ts' files from a different source, which play fine in both apps.

    Any suggestions as I would much prefer to have one centre for handling and viewing my videos?
