Working on some stuff to automagically play movies when disk is inserted...
My function "PlayDVD" does a few things
1. Launches VideoLan VLC media player http://www.videolan.org/ command line to the root menu of the disk
2. Turns on the projector via RS232 communication using http://www.quickmacros.com/forum/showthr...6#pid22586
3. Dims the lights using RS232 to a Parallax Propeller microcontroller wired up to logic controlled dimmer switches.
Using Default Programs Editor http://defaultprogramseditor.com/ to generate a registry file, I was able to add the above QM function to the AutoPlay options. Then I just went into AutoPlay settings in control panel and selected the new item.
Below is the registry file created by Default Programs Editor.exe (This could be converted to a QM script or just saved as a .reg file and ran by QM...or just run the .reg file to merge:
Thought I'd share ;-)
P.S. I'll post the VLC command line and my QM RS232 script later!
