autoplay a .wmf file command

[vnavna 0]

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to script a launching of a video file that will play in either wmplayer classic or Windows media player. I am going for the classic version more so due to the fact that I can set the repeat setting up in the registry.

If anyone knows how to call or start a specific video file without having to open up the media player application first please let me know.

Otherwise I will just have to go back to a simple batch command.

The Run() function with the path the player of choice followed by the file to be played?

I can't get it to work. If I just put in the application path media player will work but when I put the path to the .wmv file it fails. I doesn't call up the application at all.

Here is what I am using for a test.

Run("C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe", "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Videos\INK.wmv","")

Run('"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe " "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Videos\INK.wmv"')

Note:

The space after the .exe before the double quote.

No comma between the exe and its parameter (the file to be played).

I only tested the syntax using Media Player Classic.

Sorry - I could not post/test the syntax in my earlier post.

IT WORKED!! That comma got me screwed up. I guess I didn't realize it was not supposed to be in there.

Thank you sooo much.

I wish there was some more info on where to put the quotations in some of these situations.

I would buy you a beer if I could, again Thank You!
