WMP11 is out. Controlling media player from the command line just got a lot easier. Check out some of the new options.
Using my notebook as a portable media device, I often setup shortcuts to do things quickly. WMP11’s new command line options are a great addition.
This option will open wmp and play the playlist listed (NameOfPlayList)
wmplayer /Playlist NameOfPlayList
Play a song (nameofsong.wma):
wmplayer “c:\nameofsong.wma”
Play a song or video in fullscreen mode:
wmplayer “c:\nameofvideo.wmv” /fullscreen
Play the DVD device:
wmplayer /device:DVD
Play a song with the player in a certain skin (headspace):
wmplayer “c:\nameofsong.wma”?wmpskin=headspace“
Open player in the Copy From CD Mode:
wmplayer /Task CDAudio
These all can be combined as well… for example…
Play DVD in fullscreen:
wmplayer /device:DVD /fullscreen
