    autorun multiple files

    how can i autorun multiple files in windows media player? here is the code i am using at the moment to play the movie files automaticly:

    [autorun]
    open=wmplayer.exe /play \AVI\DIVX01.AVI


    and it works fine, for one movie file.

    how can i make it add more than one file to the playlist in windows mediaplayer 9 (wmplayer.exe)

    and how can i make them full screen? i know it can be done but i dont know how.....

    the reason i want more than one media file (AVI) to be added to the playlist in windows media player 9 is because i have lots of episodes that i want to be able to just slap in to my divx box and play, and i like windows media player because the hot keys work on the keyboard (skip back and forward files, play, pause, stop and the like)

    sorry if this sounds stupid....and correct me if my code is wrong....

    oh, by the way, it is a standalone divx player, a computer dedicated to divx with a tv out card in it, they look excellent on the tv.....

    Try Hobbit's Launcher, available at DivX Digest (link at top of this page)...

      create a simple textfile with:

      file1.avi
      file2.avi

      and save it to *.m3u

      load this file with wmp and you're done - no fancy tool needed.

        is that all....so it is sort of like making an autorun inf file....

        say i if i named my files DIVX01.AVI and DIVX02.AVI in a directory on my CD named AVI.... ( \AVI\DIVX01.AVI etc. etc.)

        how exactly would i tell it to auto run the m3u file....and if i named the M3U file DIVXCLIPS.M3U just like i did before by telling it something like this?

        [autorun]
        open=wmplayer.exe /open \AVI\DIVXCLIPS.M3U


        am i correct? i just picked up on the autorun busness yestoday so i may be doing it all wrong

          you dont have to rename your files, all you will have to do is writing the correct name into the m3u.
          could as well be:

          downloadedfile99.avi
          created_film.mpg
          ....
          ....


          as for the autostart: your example should work

          one thing though - i did not test that m3u with any ohter wmp than version 6.4 since i consider later version pure crap.

          maybe you should try mplayer2.exe instead of wmplayer.exe

                well if it does, how can i set it up to do the following?

                play multiple files, play full screen when i tell it play a media file (automaticly)

                and if there are other cool features tell me about it

                sorry if it sounds stupid but i dont personaly like it as it wont play multiple files and looks old....but u say it does so come on and tell me how
