What are the WMP command line options?
The full set of v9 options are here. For older versions, see here. Or I’ve summarized them here, with some other stuff that isn’t covered in that article: • /embedding: ? • /open: just open the file, don’t automatically start playing • /play: start playing the file as soon as possible • /close: close the file after playback (*only works when used with WMP6 (mplayer2.exe) and only when used with /play!*) • /fullscreen: start file in fullscreen mode • /new: use a new instance of the player ** Note that “/fullscreen” and “/new” are not supported in V7. For WMP7 and newer, you would have to use a skin like this in a command line such as: wmplayer.exe /layout:fscls.wmz %file.file% if you wanted the player to be in full-screen mode. Or you could embed the player in a web page and script the player into full-screen mode. For WMP7 and later, WMP also supports: wmplayer.exe /layout:”%skinpath%” for WMZ (skin) files. Additional command lines are “Task” and “Device”. wmplayer.exe /device:AudioCD
