Title: Cant associate ED2k Links to firefox?
Post by: lebeatnik on March 13, 2009, 03:46:19 PM

I have never had this problem before. I love this client and this bums me out. I can work around it by copying the link then entering it manually but this is not something i like to do.  As I said before i have never had this problem so i don't know about how to go about fixing it. although I have searched the options in Firefox and amule to add the association although i was unable to find it I would Greatly appreciate your help as at this point i have no clue what to do at this point. I would love any Help anyone can provide.  ??? ???

THANKS for the Link although it doesn't help me. I am running amule under windows xp and when i try an ed2k link i get an alert window that says the following "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (ed2k) isn't associated with any program." and the only option i have if "OK"

Any more Ideas Do i have a setting on firefox blocking this?? I have never had this problem so i have no clue what to do about it. I have never had this issue with amule or any other programs so i am stumped ???

ok the reg file i created from the page you sent worked to get me the chose program window but this part stumps me

Code: [Select]

@echo off
set link=%1
for /f "useback tokens=*" %%a in ('%link%') do set link=%%~a
"c:\Program Files\aMule\amulecmd.exe" /h server /P pass /c "add %link%"

Don't forget to replace server and pass with your data and save the file in your aMule directory C:\Program Files\aMule.

Create a file named ed2k_remote.reg containing the following code:
the part that i dont understand is "Don't forget to replace server and pass with your data and save the file in your aMule directory C:\Program Files\aMule." what do i replace 'server' and 'pass' with?

Thank you for your help i am almost there! :-[

That code is from the 'remote handling' section. Remote handling is what happens if you have aMule running on a server and want to send an ed2k link to the server. You should use this instead for 'local handling':

Code: [Select]

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ed2k]
@="URL: ed2k Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ed2k\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\aMule\\amulegui.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ed2k\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ed2k\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ed2k\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\aMule\\ed2k \"%1\""

Just add it to your registry, it will overwrite the changes you made earlier. Then try again with Firefox.
