AM-ARDVD (Version 1.02 released)

[Amnon82]

Avalon's and maa's AutorunDVDPlayer

I wanted MPC to play the DVD automaticaly.
The root of my autorun DVD is:

VIDEO_TS
AUDIO_TS
COVER
DVDPlayer.exe
autorun.inf

The Autorun was:

[autorun]
open=DVDPlayer.exe /dvd /fullscreen /open "%L"
icon=DVDPlayer.exe

I renamed mplayerc.exe into DVDPlayer.exe (just fun ;) ).

So, if I put this DVD into my drive, the mpc on the disk starts the DVD in fullscreen.

This was nice!

After a while maa helps me with a bat and I starts Avalon's-Autorun-DVDPlayer.
I created a package with gabests new versions of MPC.
My DVDAutorun.bat checked the OS and the DVD-letter and starts automaticaly the DVDVideo using the rigth MPC.
Again maa rewrites the bat. Now all errors will be shown.

Changes to 1.01:

maa totaly rewrites the bat. I found some bugs in it and fixed this.
I tested the version only in WinXP. If some errors comes up with 9x please be so kind and post it here.
I renamed the program to AM-ARDVD (Avalon's & maa's AutorunDVDPlayer).

You can download AM-ARDVD on my page.

Nice one, but I just read that Windows98 and ME have to use a different Media Player Classic. It would be nice to have a batchfile that checks the OS and launches the right player for it. If I have some spare time this weekend, I will try to create one.

Heres a #.bat file - don't know if it cn be part of an #.inf file or if it has to be called upon by the inf file.
Anaway it should be enough to go on.


@echo off
rem Safty check
if "%1"=="?" goto helpme
if "%1"=="/?" goto helpme
IF %OS%==Windows_NT Goto WinNT

:Win9x
if not exist DVDPlayer9x.exe goto error
open=DVDPlayer9x.exe /dvd /fullscreen /open "%L"
icon=DVDPlayer9x.exe
goto end

:WinNT
if not exist DVDPlayerNT.exe goto error
open=DVDPlayerNT.exe /dvd /fullscreen /open "%L"
icon=DVDPlayerNT.exe
goto end

:error
rem - write errors here

:helpme
rem - write help here

:end
Exit


cheers

I got it!

It was a little hard to write the bat, but it got it!
I released the autorun dvdplayer 1.00 today:D

I hope you're going to post the Autorun.inf here ;)
What do you do if the destination player hasn't got the codecs ?

cheers

Thats the beauty off MediaPlayer Classic! It has it's own codecs for mpeg(2) (also AC3). Don't know about DTS though...

[Amnon82]

I found some bugs. I fixed it in Version 1.01.
Yes MPC has its own MPEG2- and AC3-Decoder. I'm looking now for DTS...

Hi, you need some help with this.
The errors aren't displaying and you have repeated the player check about 24 times. BTW whats "checkos.bat" ?
I whish I could write a proper INF - it would be neater somehow.
You should test it thorougly on each OS, simulating the errors and the checks.

Heres a shorter version of the BATch file
