How can i open as a user with midnight commander videofiles with mplayer?

I do edit the /etc/mc/mc.ext file
I modify the include/video section
include/video
Open=(vlc %f >/dev/null 2>&1 &) # for VLC

As Root User it works, but not as a normal User.
If i copy the mc.ext file to my Users Home Directory (/home/user/.mc/mc.ext) and restart Midnight Commander, nothing changes.
Midnight Commander allways open Videofiles with the Dragon Player, on a other System Midnight Commander open Videofiles with VLC Player.
I allways think i have configure both System same.
In the mc.ext file i do not found anything about vlc or dragon player, do not understand this.

Can someone tell me please how i can open all videofiles from midnight commander with mplayer?!?
