Play video on startup (winxp pro)
« on: May 17, 2003, 09:38:45 am »
Ok here is what I want to do.  I want to boot my MAME cab, when windows starts up, I want to pay a video file full screen.  When the file is finshed playing, I want it to automatically quit, and start up my launcher program (which I can not change...it has to stay arcade@home).  Can anyone help me with this project??

I could if you were using DOS, but I don't know of a tool like that for Windows.

make a bat file and inside it type.....

start mplayer2.exe "c:\path\to\file\filename.mpeg" /play /fullscreen /quit


(all on one line, the message board is screwing it up)

stick the bat in your startup folder and your all set for the video....

to have it launch a@h as well simply add:

start "c:\path\to\a@h.exe" on the next line of the bat
