How to open with a different program

[dibad0011]

This is a very newbie question and I already asked before with no much help from the community (please pardon my existance). I want to open all my movies with smplayer2. When I choose "open file with" and then "use a custom command" I don't know which executable file points to smplayer2 (inside usr/bin directory). I run Linx mint debian xfce on my PC and I find no problems in finding whatever app I want to use to open whatever type of file via custom command.

pnd_run /media/YOURSDCARDNAME/menu/PNDNAME.pnd

(substitute 'apps' or 'desktop' for 'menu')

Isn`t smplayer part of the os?

thanks for your help but I got the following error:

Failed to add new application "smplayer2_r6.pnd".

Failed to load application from file /home/myname/Applications/Data/applications//smplayer2_r6.pnd-usercreated-1.desktop.

I have all my pnds on the menu folder btw.

pnd_run /media/YOURSDCARDNAME/menu/PNDNAME.pnd


(substitute 'apps' or 'desktop' for 'menu')

This will start only the pnd, you need a "placeholder" for the resources uri -> see wizardStans solution

it looks like you did not use the pnds file path, but the path of the .desktop file that is automatically created my the system (which just contains infos about the pnd).
