Do you mean to implement this in a batch file? Otherwise you might try to schedule the command with the windows sheduler, just use mplayer2.exe %1 where %1 represents the name of the file you want to play. If you want to use the command line in a batch file but you need to delay it's execution, there are a number of utilities you could use to achieve that result. Which one you use depends on the platform you are running it on... Try Sleep or Choice, or you can download one (I'm sure there are plenty).

Only thing I can think about right now is to simulate keys being pressed.

Found something... Have you tried creating an asx file? It's basically a text file that tells the player which file to play and how. The cool thing is that you can specify the start time!
