command line switches for windows media player

**samrat_chak1** · 14-05-2005, 01:09 AM

Can anybody tell me how to queue up a media file in windows media player through command prompt. I am making a small software in vb to play and queue media files in windows media player when the name of the media is double clicked in the file list box.

Good one, guys. Now all samrat needs to do is create a custom playlist from rajas's post and then use the /Playlist <playlistname> switch and he should be all set.

Thanx guys, but what i asked was for the method by which i can queue up a media file in windows media player and not how to create a playlist. By making a playlist I would have to store the filenams every time a person double clicks and further the media restarts playing whenever a new playlist is given to the player.
