Hey all,

I'm wondering if anyone knows which specific user or shared preference file would be the one to capture this setting? We're looking to make all out student-facing computers open with VLC as air playing via the DVD app seems broken.

I used Composer to capture a snapshot of new and modified changes after telling VLC to be the default, but it looks like a number of things were changed in various folders (Library, private, User library -- specifically User prefs, which is where I assume the .plist was made/modified.)

Anyone have any success with this?

Thanks!
