keashdoc Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Hi, I want to launch a .m4a audio file using the default Media Player. I want the Media Player to run minimized / hidden and not be displayed. I only want to hear the audio without the Media Player being displayed. I tried this but Windows Media Player still pops up in the foreground. ShellExecute("c:\myaudio.m4a", "", "", "", @SW_MINIMIZE) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Don't fight with external software, just use its COM OCX. Local $sFullPath = "C:\Applications\AutoIt\WASApi\The Rolling Stones\The Rolling Stones - Lady Jane.mp3" Local $oPlayer = ObjCreate("WMPlayer.OCX") $oPlayer.URL = $sFullPath $oPlayer.Controls.Play Sleep(1000) ; Let enough time to start While $oPlayer.playState = 3 ; 1 - stopped, 2 - paused, 3 - playing Sleep(100) WEnd “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Screen Scraping Multi-Threading Made Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
