Hello:
Just my opinion, but you're better off to install and use a codec pack. everything use them. Win media player, Win explorer, all use them.
-When you use installed codec packs then other software can share the same codec. ( If Programed with windows open api ). It works on a merit system to pick the better one.
-When you use built in codec, then each different software has to have its own codecs and can't share with other software.
There is a trade off for either way you go, but if you get a well known pack you'll have less worries latter on.
If Mp is using win api (I Think so), and your not seeing thumbs inside win explorer. Then you won't see them inside MP, unless you use ffmpeg or get codec's.
