How to use Windows media player with the windows Task Scheduler (7)?

Original title: why it is so difficult... question of windows media player 12

You want to use Windows media player with windows (7) Task Scheduler.   We have a pc, everything that appears on the screen is also pumped to our community cable channel, normally a slideshow in loop is the show, however, sometimes via a scheduler interrupt the slideshow to play a video (say a video of our last Board of Directors meeting) and to make videos, ideally the slideshow returns.

Using Microsoft software, in this case, Windows Media Player v12.0.7601.18150, Task Scheduler 1.0, two things must happen.

1 Task Scheduler launch a video in fullscreen / top of window.

2. when the video is finished, wmp is closed.

Well, 1 works fine.  The Task Manager launching wmp in full screen.  And a framework of wmp switches to allow a session of wmp be on top.

However, a short time after launch wmp cut the screen down to a smaller version.

And 2. closure of WMP fails to occur.  He remains on the screen waiting for human input.

Any input appreciated.

Charlie

For "cuts WMP down to a smaller version", right click on the video game (during playback) and deselect ' auto Player size to contain video.

For number 2, define your point of Task Scheduler task for the "end of task after X minutes" and therefore the value of X.  Then it will kill the instance of running Media Player after a large number of minutes.  So, it will absolutely immediately when the video is done playing, but it will be within 60 seconds and will be at least to remove WMP and let your slideshow be visible again.

    How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions? Plain txt files say 1,000 with random name of file extensions?

    You can always search within those, but you need to add extensions to the file system so that it knows to look inside these files.  You said that you have a lot, so it's perhaps tedious.  Here's How to search within several types of files.

    One thing you could try is rather to make a copy of this file, rename all the files to the same extension (even an extension false for example something.bill) and perform your search on this band.  Just an idea.

  • Quality of its poor window media player with vista and windows 7

    Since I bought my first Vista PC three years ago I never liked playing my music with Windows media player. This is because the sound quality is irritating. For some reason, the volume of any song keeps rising and falling when he plays with the media player but the same player sound perfectly with any other player. Note, in this case with windows Vista and when I upgraded to Windows 7 I have always noticed the same problem. Many of my friends who use Windows vista or windows 7 also complained about this problem.
    Does anyone have a solution to this? Because I can't play my songs with windows media player on my pc windows 7 and I had to keep my old windows xp just to play my songs.

    Hello

    It could be mainly mediocre speakers. Check you drivers.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS Manager - look for HD Audio Mine said RealTek High Definition Audio

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    1. go to the system manufacturer's website and search for the driver the newest download - SAVE - will click with the button straight on and RUN AS ADMIN
    (This is your rescue.) REBOOT after each installation of driver.

    NOTE: Driver Sound often rollback so check the version after installation and reboot to see if the version you
    installed is there, if not repeat - restart until it is. It may take several tries depending on the recommitments how he
    the fact.

    Then do the same for the site of the manufacturer of the device.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
