play avi files one after another in windows media player?

[jim1]

i have many avi videos(55-60)with length 20-26 mins and i want to open next avi after the one before ends but i dont know how to make a program that will see when the avi file is over so it can open the next one.

any idea how?

Maybe use http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=25859 to find out the duration of the video and start the next one after waiting that many seconds.

Doesn't Media Player support queing/playlists or something ?

You used to be able to call Windows Media Player from the command prompt and use the /close option to close Windows Media Player once the video is done playing. You could try using VLC instead. VLC has a "vlc://quit" command which closes that particular instance once the video is done playing.
