Can Windows 7 Task scheduler start a playlist in Windows Media Player 11?
I want to run a short list of wmv 's at certain times during each day for a week
Solution 1:
Yes!
- Create a new "Basic task" in Task Scheduler.
- Give it a name, time, etc in the wizard that pops up.
- Tell it to start a program.
-
In "program/script" box type or browse to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe(will just be
\Program Files\on x86 system, but thats the path on x64) - In "Add Arguments" put
/play /close "C:\Path\To\Playlist.wpl"
That will launch Media player, automatically play that playlist, then close media player when it's done!
