[Linust]

Hi,
I've search the forum but in vain. I want to play a movie with mdvdp on buton click but i got a "Unable to load video file Documents File not found" error when mdvdp start. Any help appreciated. thanks

Did you try using a file.execute action? i.e.:

File to execute:%SrcDir%\mdvdp.exe
Command line arguments: "%SrcDir%\yourmovie.avi"

That might work, not sure...

Does that player support command line arguments for passing in files? Can you run the player from Start->Run and pass the file as an argument? If you can do that, you should be able to use the "File.Execute" action.

Make sure your command line argument is in quotes if there will be any spaces in the path. It's good practice to use quotes as a rule for command line arguments.
